OK Showered, dressed and cereal scoffed. Think I'm awake.
Plan for the morning - sort the downstairs desk and the filing box beside it :eek:
I'm sure there is stuff in there that can be shredded to make space.
Does anyone have a link to what should be kept?0 -

It is a bit of an awkward one. I have to officially request time off work, they have said there is a requirement for me to be at work on Tuesday and Friday so if I can't get back on Wednesday night then that isn't a problem. I am going to go on Monday anyway and come back the same day (if I can). Tuesday morning I will chat to my boss and see if I can get away just after lunch. I have just booked a hotel for Tuesday night, if there are problems with the trains then I will have to drive but I would rather not. I will make this recital somehow.MFW 2025 No. 7 £1130/£1200

Morning all,
I'm going to get DS2 dressed then do a HHC at 11.00 if anyone wants to join me? The boys are helping me today whether they like it or not. AF's arrived so i should have some energy soon.:j
I've let the rabbits have the run of the dining room, i've locked the door so nobody can accidently let them out. As long as they don't chew the skirting boards or wood floor it should be ok.

IMPORTANT QUESTION..
What jobs do people specifically want on the list next week?
you know those bits you look at week after week and think.. hmm.. I can pretend that's not on this weeks list so I'll leave it being an eye sore!?? My entire house is like that.. but come on.. tell me about your messy corners! I am bored of writing the same tasks week in week out.. I want something new!
And.. no you aren't having the week or even a day off..
List of stuff to carry in car in bad weather - I am now adding a backpack - (because I had to carry stuff trudging through snow) and am considering bunging my sleeping bag in there so I can keep warm even if I have to knock on a door and beg for shelter!Careful_with_that_Axe wrote: »For a specific job for me it would be sorting CDs and DVDs and returning them to boxes as well as tidying them on shelves.
Mending odd broken things or putting together things that need it.
Kitchen cupboards - organising tinned stuff.
Rationalising freezer.)
and everyone could photocopy cards (CC bank cards etc front and back; get copies of passports birth certificates etc)
and I could do with knowing which child has had what jab and when because I can never rembermber when I have to complete those fornms for school trips!Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016
Thank you Honey Bear0 -
Am rather at a loss now, having completed the lists and every room in my house is tidy - a first I think! The utility room is still a mess of laundry and bin bags but it's about 5 degrees in there and OH said he'd take the bags out later so I'll leave it to him. Have actually run out of things/rooms to clean. Maybe I'll have a cup of tea...
We're getting MORE snow here. Starting to run out of nappies and loo roll as mine and DS2's cold's have come back and we've been using a lot of it!IMPORTANT QUESTION..
