    Me - this has happened to me as the door is actually removable for cleaning purposes (although I'm too feeble to manage this on my own, the Neff engineer did show me but I'm terrified of not getting it back again! Check the instruction manual, or if it's an ancient Neff, drop me a note and I'll explain!

    I've printed off all my payslips and reorganised my PAYE file with envelopes for different years.

    I'm now working on my expenses which I haven't done since... mid-March :eek: Luckily I haven't been anywhere much...

    Okay, so I've
    Emptied all the bins and put the rubbish out.
    Sorted all DH's medication out - I'm sure it's breeding
    Cleared the hotspot in the kitchen - unfortunately a lot of it is now on the ironing board so I need to sort out where it's going.
    Loaded TD.
    Emptied the shredder
    Sorted drawers out

    Now I need to transfer the stuff off the ironing board to somewhere else. The kids are going to school for 11 and I'll go food shopping then.

    It's rain here today too, i hate it. Can't put the washing out, kids are stuck in the house. It feels like october (think i might build a bonfire).
    Just for one summer it would be nice if it was a summer.

    Moan moan moan sorry i hate this weather.

    Bathroom looking good but have so much other stuff to do. Need to find DS2 a birthday pressie for sunday but don't know what to get him. He's not a very active child so that should be good.
    Need to send form away for my 3 points and £60 fine.:mad:
    Need to book hubby's flights for the football, why is it so expensive to go from Northern Ireland to Scotland yet it can be cheaper to go abroad?:confused:
    Need to do a food shop and find a very easy recipe for a birthday cake as the last sponge cake i made was 1cm think oppps.:o

    Right i'm away to have a look at argos......

    I have some ironing to do, not too much but if I do it now then it's done.

    Will swap over WM contents to TD and get another load on.

    Message from toots

    She is going into hospital for her treatment this afternoon and will be there for the rest of the week. She has specified NO BALLOONS, CHOCOLATES or anything else! This is all part of her regular treatment regime and as such she does not want any special treatment from us.

    Methekids did you ever see the post your DD made one Sunday night at the end of a thread... not last week, I think it was the week before? ;):rolleyes::D

    Natty, I do hope you're ok love. :)

    Toots, you're so right, I am exhausted. I fall asleep every time I sit down. I'm trying not to stress over every thing still left to do though. I just figure it'll get done soon enough, I'll just do a bit at a time. How are you babes?

    ETA: Just got your text, thanks for the update. (((hugs)))

    elf Oban - Gorgeous!! We're up to Ullapool for our summer hols, can't wait. I love Scotland, esp the west coast. When I was 15 me and my Dad spent a month driving round the coast of Scotland. We stayed in Oban. *sigh* nice memories. :)

    Well, I s'pose I'd better do something! :o

    ETA x2

    I got SOAKED when I walked the dog, and now I feel really cold :( Bah! I hate this weather.
