    Good Morning Ladies :hello:

    Today i want to concentrate on the washing and ironing, at present i have no ironing but i will have :rotfl:. The weather is looking good here for today and forecast for rain tomorrow. I love line dried washing so am trying to get it all done on good days. Usually mean si have 4 loads but its dry within hours.

    As i did lots yesterday off the following list i am going to head upstairs and do a bit more in my bedroom and i have to nip out and get kids passport photos done!
    Hopefully i may get to the gym today. I can't say i am not hacked off about it. When i joined the gym i asked my parents if they would have the little man for me whilst i went. They said yes. I join, pay joining fee of £100 and then £37.50 a month and i haven't been for 2 months. Not impressed at all. I will have to kiss !!! me thinks. I have said i will have a quick swim instead of doing a full gym during the holidays so i will only be gone about 40 minutes this hopefully will sway them.

    My lovely boys are 5 and 6. What would they like to do today (we have an agreed £20 a week to do museums/soft play with)? The answer: Go to the big garden centre so we can get some more bark chippings for the borders :confused:. I didn't brain wash them, honest.

    You so did!!!:p

    I was shattered last night so I think all of the extra driving last week and at the weekend caught up with me - infact I still feel shattered now despite having a layin as we had a power cut and my alarm clock didn't go off.

    I have had to really tweak today's list as the LR is so bad I cannot actaully clean it but need to concentrate on putting stuff away - I hope this is ok - but doing this should make a big difference to the room.


    I can see the amount of work for Saturday already building up - oh dear.....

  • Morning lovelies - read yesterdays posts put didn't post myself as I'd done sweet FA apart from s/s kitchen!!:rotfl:

    DD1 was alone in the house whilst we were away, she's 19, and we came back and thought the cleaning fairy had been!!!! Well, it looks ok at a quick glance and she even remembered to put the wheelie bin out on the right day and turned on the DW - even though when I ask her when we are at home to do it and she always says 'I don't know how to do it'!! We've only had it 14 years!!

    Anyway, have washed all 3 sleeping bags this morning, up at stupid o'clock and are on the line. Stupid Look North Leeds said it would be dry today and you know what it's raining:mad::mad:, so sat at work fuming.

    S/s kitchen again this morning, flung bleach everywhere as usual and got ready for work. Thought I would be full of energy when we got back from hols, but have seem to of misplaced it :rolleyes:

    Hugs for all that need/want them. Will look on FB at some point today to see Soappies photos.

    Good of you all to welcome me back, you know I won't ever complete the lists, but you all let me off!! :rotfl::rotfl: xx
