    I believe that it's traditional to begin by asking the Right Honourable Member what engagements she has today :D

    That's great news :T My 26km return trip to work equates to 6752 steps :T How many steps should I be aiming for daily :confused:

    DD has mown all the lawn :T I was only expecting her to do half, so that's great news. I accompanied her in the garden, and have picked 4 of the hugest cucumbers I've ever grown :j Off to find some uses for them, then another Edit - neveh I'll join your HHC - off to the Dining R~o~D :beer:

    Hi everyone. I'm feeling so much better today. I think it was a migraine as I had a banging headache and the sensitivity to light as well as the sickness. So I can fully sympathise with Greenbee and Helenjelly.

    Have taken DD2 to her toddler gymnastics this morning and made lentil, carrot and potato soup that we had for lunch. I'm really tired now though so I think I'll have a lie down for half an hour until school run time. I'm picking up my two nephews as well then we're all going to IL's for tea.

    I've not done any of the 5 things on my list yet but I plan to do one today. Not decided if it'll be ironing or filing (or maybe both :confused:). Anyway, thanks to DH there's a few bits to cross of today's list without me having to lift a finger.:j

    Magnificent Monday
    ~
    Crabby kitchen!
    Sort and wipe a cupboard.. throw away all those germ harbouring chipped plates and mugs!

    Tuesday ~ Living Room/s, Hall, Stairs
    Level one
    Declutter the floors and flat surfaces
    Level Two
    Wipe sofas
    Vacuum floors... or mop them.. whatever..
    Wipe over any paintwork/doors etc
    Level three
    Vacuum under furniture you are able to move without injuring yourself
    Do a BIIIIIIG declutter... toys gone, shoes gone, paperwork gone...
    Wiggly Wednesday ~ Bathroom, Loo, Study
    Mop/vacuum
    Scrub down the tiles
    Wipe the paintwork and radiators in these rooms
    1. Go running at least once this week
    2. Do half an hour of paperwork sorting
    3. Clear the ironing pile
    4. Sort out the car insurance (a job for Friday evening when I've been paid)
    5. Plant out the plants from the windowledge.
    Hope all has gone well with the SW today Pigpen.

    Thanks for letting us know about the passports Rosepink....unfortunately DH, myself and DD1's all need renewing and DD2 needs her first one so I'll make sure its done before September.

    Going for half an hours peace and quiet then school run so will be back tonight. x

    Weds - Done

    I'm finding it hard work to get motivated today and I've still got to go to MrT

    Tomorrow is my last day to get my challenges done and it ain't gonna happen - oh well I'm gonna do them next week without fail, I'll try to get some ironing done tonight and I can't do the grass cutting until it dries up a bit

    Hope that everyone is flying along ok

  • Like you Jo - I am stuck at work wishing I was at home and flying......

    Still must return to the riviting moving and handling report - deep joy..... is it me or can a lack of enthusiasm be detected!!

    Ok lunch officially ended 2 minutes ago and after driving all that way on a wasted visit this morning I had actually better achieve something today.

    See you all tonight although as I didn't start until 09.30 I will not finish until 6.

    :wave:
    Where has this week gone?
    Massive hugs to SS - I think doing that talk is a fabulous idea. I did one for my DS in year 2 after he'd had another eye operation and some children were teasing him. I took the photo's in of him as a two year old to show what he'd gone through. Since then, whenever he has his two hourly drops all his friends stand next to him like minders....the teacher says the whole class has to stop to make he's ok. DS loves the attention!

    LL - great minds....I thought the men were peeing too!!!

    I've just been to the wholesaler to get some new nail polish colours....I get sadly excited when I get new ones....all my clients are on tender hooks as to what i'll come home with (i've had orange and blue requested as they're 'in' this summer!!). I'm off out tonight so will experient with one of the new ones. At least I never run out of nail polish (not that I have time to paint them often!).

    I'm just off to get my washing out and see if my tootles addition has helped with the dog hair problem. Then I need to find my five a week list to see if i've done anything on it.

    Speak soon xxx

    Nearly forgot:

    MONDAY< TUESDAY < WEDNESDAY = LIST COMPLETED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Tootles....it worked, it worked, it worked :j:j:j:jThankyou :Dxx

    Five a week list......(not looking good!)

    1) Go through my wardrobe, DD's and DSs wardrobe and remove EVERYTHING that doesn't fit!
    2) Finish the 3000 word assignment
    3) Declutter dining room.
    4) [STRIKE]Visit library to take book back and [/STRIKE]local shop to get battery for pedometer (you've all made me want to use it again).
    5) (and this is the one i'll regret) Gut master bedroom - chuck, chuck and more chuck!

    Mmmm, not looking good! I can't do number 2 because I still have't got the full feedback for the assignment so i'm going to replace that one. My list is now....

    1) Go through my wardrobe, DD's and DSs wardrobe and remove EVERYTHING that doesn't fit!
    2) Clear, sort and clean clinic
    3) Declutter dining room.
    4) Visit library to take book back and local shop to get battery for pedometer (you've all made me want to use it again).
    5) (and this is the one i'll regret) Gut master bedroom - chuck, chuck and more chuck!

    I'll have lots of time as most of tomorrow and Friday's clients have postponed due to the swine flu outbreak at school. This is the week when I usually see my clients with immune problems so I thought it best to warn them.

    Right, think i'll go to school via the shops to get the battery xx

    I'm back, all pilated out.

    2 bags of shopping unpacked, off on school run now (on bike again) and then my new drain man is coming - gee the suspense is killing me.

    Cricket tonight and a chicken casserole to concoct yet.
