    Done some paperwork decluttering. Intray still has stuff in but at least I know what it is and none of it is urgent.

    Just having a cuppa then promised DS3 I'd play with him. He has a hacking cough today out of the blue (bit worrying as that is one of the first signs of swine flu) but seems ok in himself.

    Michelle - hope you are ok, not seen you about all week

    I've done nothing all afternoon except read and listen to the radio... as a result my energy levels are very low and I have another 12000 steps that I need to do today...

    ... so I thought I'd start with a quick tidy up in the kitchen and then take myself off for a walk.

    Good to see that most of you have had a more productive day than me (especially kaz... congratulations on the profitable decluttering!)

    • one of the manky trays scrubbed and put away
    • bee saved and put outside!
    • toilet stuff put down pan as previous lot washed away by DD when I was out!
    • cat tray emptied and cleaned - still needs to be refilled.
    not too bad - cannot believe how much i have acheived as I normally do NOTHING at the weekends!

    i am now going to have a rest and watch Criminal Minds from Friday - already have a cup of tea
    Ultimatum given to DS that I will not help with his Personal Statement on Uni application if he does not collect rubbish liberally spread around bedroom, bring down china and wash it up and dig 2 metres of new flower bed. - this is me trying to be tougher on them....:cheesy:

    Happy Birthday to Pigpens DD1HSbirthday11.gifHS473949fjm3tcg78d_7404.gif
    (Thanks Toots, I 'pinched' your smilies).

    Still catching up with the thread, whilst sat with my feet in a bowl of cold water, my feeting have swollen, I presume due to the travelling & heat. :confused:

    My purdey cat has come home :j, minus it's collar, but at least I know he is safe & well.

    Prepared salad for tea & that is about all, I will do HHI later tnight when it is cooler, I promise ;)

    Hugs to everyone who needs them.

    Jinky/Greenbee the crate idea is fab (i might use it on myself) but I have a question: do you tip out the crate into the room so you can use the crate the next day, or do you have lots of crates and just stack them on top of each other in her room?


    Given I can be evil Mum, I think I will fill the crate, take it to her room and if its not emptied and tidy by next day, it will be emptied into a binbag and binned.:cool::beer:

    Hi All,

    Thanks for all the birthday wishes. I had a fab day yesterday and a very good night with my friends - they are so good to me. Im really lucky.

    I have done minimal flying today - I did catch up friday night, and cleaned all the ktichen and lots of stuff on Saturday so thankfully i dont have much to do today - Im trying to work myself up to doing the ironing.....

    Once i have found my list, i will see if ive earned any stars, but i doubt it
    :)Sometimes lurking, sometimes posting, but always flying:)
