    Thursday Things ~ study!
    Level Two
    15 minute filing and shredding.

    looking good, so all i need to do now is finish tidying the kitchen - did half the pots this morning and then started with the lists!! give the LR a quick hoover and a sweep in kitchen and thats me done for today i think, unless i can stand for long enough to do some ironing, hopefully i can cos i'm sick of seeing the bloody stuff - left basket in LR so it might tempt me to do it but so far 4 days later it hasn't!! :rotfl:
    still haven't phoned the dr's about my knee :o and i should do really - i just don't like my gp at all so hate going to see him, very patronising especially when it comes to DD!
    Hugs piggers and anyone else that needs one

    Well done to everyone on the exam results :)

    First two loads of washing dry, folded and put away. I've done two throws from the settee and they are out on the line blowing well.

    My back is easier than this morning and I've just taken another tablet so I'm going to have a go at the bathroom/toilet now, back later.

    I have got an hour and a half until OH gets in. I think I may have to play catch up with the bathroom.

    Toy sort is complete - landing now quite full! It is all going in my NCT boxes in the loft for the autumn sale. Don't think I can be bothered to ebay it, not done to well with ebay of later.

    Taking the boys bowling and to F&Bs in 15 as a well done thing - not in the mood really which isn't good as my mother is coming too.

    Piggers I'm always happy to hear someone else moaning
