Evening everyone.

I havent caught up with the thread yet. I dont know if anyone knows about this. Someone is sending out fraudlent UPS emails re their parcel delivery and the attachment has a Trojan virus. I was expecting a parcel and thought it was strange as it said they couldnt deliver it. Rang UPS and automated message re the virus e mail. Luckily my anti virus kicked in. Sorry its off topic.

Flying wise I have done the dailies and Im very pleased to say tackled the two big cupboards in the kitchen. Some things swapped around. Two bags of rubbish out and a bag to go to DDs. All washed out and rearranged. Just having a cuppa. Will go read the thread now.

we do sometimes have a weekend list but it wont be posted until later this evening but 'yes' the idea is to have fun at the weekend - the weekend lists are very optional:rotfl:

Uh, oh, I very often don't get online at weekends. I'm assuming it's unimportant stuff though, and my house won't fail the Kim'n'Aggie test if I don't do it.:o

poohbear59

I have be feeling so smug as I completed DH's tax return with him in September and submitted it online.
Just phoned tax office after someone's reminder about paying and found that they never received it. So just in case anyone else has had a reminder to pay, but without the calculated amount on the letter, they may not have received it!

MrsChaos

Evening all,

sorry for not posting much this week. I'm still struggling with DS1's laptop and I lost my post 3 times in a row one night, so I gave up. I've also been really tired. AF doesn't normally affect me too much, but I've struggled to keep awake most evenings.

Flying will commence after the next cuppa, as DS1's GF is due to visit tomorrow. Might have to resort to flylady crisis cleaning. DS2 has been fast asleep ever since coming home from school, so I hope he's not coming down with something.

Oh, and can I please share some good news? DS1 found out today that he has a C in his English language GCSE and I'm really proud of him.

I'm off to copy the lists and make a start - update to follow much later.

LameWolf must be because of a specific disability as the current Skydive champion is an ex paratrooper who lost his legs. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2010/01/03/paratrooper-who-lost-legs-is-british-skydive-champ-115875-21937552/ inspiring. Is it worth looking at alternative centres so you can maybe get another opinion if it is something you really want to do? Oldest person to ever sky jump alone was over 90 with false knees.
poohbear which brand of rocket have you used on DH? I could do with some of whatever you used for mine nice to hear you sounding more positive too
pigpen hope DS2s had a good day
MrsChaos well done to your DS

We have had some of the rubbish taken , not all of it but it's a start and my bin is empty so the gacky stuff can go straight in instead of using bags. I hate using bags. Spent the last hour fling fling flingering, I've got another bag of paperwork to be shredded/recycled, same of plastics (well just recycled) same cardboard and some additional junk. Grabbed my list and removed the done bits, see what I have left easier

Master bedroom
Declutter the floor.. and vacuum it!
Organise the towels and spare bedding.. fling what needs to be flung!
Clean vacuum innards, pipes and filters.. do not use again until it is all dry!
My stuff
Find passport size photos of the boys
[STRIKE]Complete forms[/STRIKE] and post
Financial update....not doing well at keeping my books right
Clear DR table - been dumped on
Laundry - 2 loads wash, dry & away .
Sort DS1s MP3 player, child who likes Abba driving him potty in the taxi
Tidy S&S bathroom
Tidy, S&S kitchen, DW load, on and empty

Ok, not going too bad I suppose, as you can see I have not added kids rooms yet but their beds have been done just because they are several times a week. Will have a go at the list over the weekend, hopefully with their help. Oh and just for the record, I hate filing which I have done lots of but I REALLY HATE SOCKS....ARGHH!!! Flup, more snow forecast for tonight (early hours of morning), pleased DP has my car. Just hope he has a better night at work.
