    Morning all
    Nice day here - sun's out so I've got one load of washing in (DDs sheets again - she starts school tomorrow and to say she's had disturbed sleep is an understatement). Another load to do in a minute as it's just finished it's final spin.

    Got my sister coming over today - hope she's in a good mood...usually she spends the time being a bit catty and overly critical of many things I do (parenting style, some decisions I made in the past, etc, etc). Can't be doing with it to be honest and if she keeps on she won't be coming over so often!

    But....before she comes I'll have a go at the following:

    [FONT=&quot]Twinkly Tuesday ~ Kitchen of Grot and Diming Room of Gloom[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
    Level One
    Declutter and mop/vacuum the floors
    Find and wipe the worksurfaces
    Level Two
    Wipe the big appliances and units.. don't forget kickboards!
    Wipe small appliances and replace.. do one thoroughly.. descale or decrumb or degunge!
    Clear and wipe a shelf or window sill

    And I've got the following to do too:

    New tax disc in the car
    Turn up DDs school trousers
    Get the good pushchair in from the car ready for the school run tomorrow
    Iron in name tags
    Sort out a bag for gym kit
    Knit a little more of DSs cardigan - he needs more for the winter.

    I'm also doing a time and motion study on myself :rolleyes: which seems to be taking a bit more time than I'd like!

    Hope you all have a good day.

    Teenies enrolling at College today, hopefully they'll still let him in being as he hasn't got his GCSE Maths & English yet, his last tutor didn't put him in for it (procrastinated and missed it) so hoping they'll let him do it alongside his A Level course. *fingers crossed*

    Lily cat is loving playing out, can't keep her in lol

    Work is a bit stressy this week trying to sort out new prices with customers and what not, not good at asking for money I feel greedy but I have overheads now and the two I've had so far have been brilliant, guess it'll all work out so I need to chill.

    Littley back at the Docs on Friday as she has a cyst under her tongue - totally freaked out by it and not coping too well with it (medical phobia doesn't help either) but Doc said it should go down within a week and it looks like it's starting to - fear of the unknown big time though.

    1st September today - I love September - makes me wanna buy school supplies Rosepink I know you'll know which film that is from :D

    Best get to it, gotta do most of that before 9.30 cause that's when I leave to drop off littley and go to work. EEK!

  • Morning Everyone, Its lovely and sunny here, yay means i can hang my washing outside, my tumbler dryer is crap. Going to start in a min on some of my task. Then get my 3 monster's ready. My DS3 is getting his first jags today. SIL is staying with out a ggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrr and brother and they keep leaving washing in the machine which means i have to take it out hang it up, bring it in and fold it up. Some of there stuff is hanging around the house and was dry by the time she came back last night, did she move her stuff NO, so i'll have too do it this morning. Abit peed off, if i haven't got a enough too do, and am out of hospital and they are acting like children (SIL and OH had a arguement, so she's not even talking to me or him) aaaahhhh the joys of familys pmsl
