  • Ooops, I forgot to post after my HHC was up. I was late starting so finished at around 1740 but was very pleased with what I accomplished. Barely made a difference to the rats nest that is next to my desk, but I can see how much I have thrown out so that helps.

    I has a blind (ish) date!
    I am absolutely bricking it as I have not had a date for 20 years...but my friend says he's nice...

    (and I bet I don't get told off for having a non-flying post)

    But I have decluttered a bag of dressing-up togs to school! (Which is good as they were clogging up my bedroom NOT that they would have been seen by anyone anyway - not known for rushing stuff, me!:rotfl:)

    I keep grinning though...

  • Hello everyone

    Well I am on my second day and I still think I've done quite well, all todays tasks were done in 1 1/2 hours with just one child in the house as DD1 was in playschool. It makes scuh a difference when you just have one child to look after! It really helped to have a list of tasks. The bonus was that we all went to my Mums for lunch and then had a sneaky McDonalds for tea, and so the kitchen is still tidy (apart from a few chicken nuggets on the floor!) I'm going to try and complete a few more tasks after the kids have gone to bed when I'm clearing up the McDonalds :-)

    Evening All

    Having a pants day today and not done much flying but hope to get all my ironing done this evening while watching Supernatural :D


    Valli-maybe worth giving someone your number so that you can have a message incase you need an escape route. Hope you have a great time and that he is Mr Nice

    Would love to have a date but haven't had one since I dated XH and then we were friends first :rolleyes:

  • Pigpen - I would just like to say thank you for making us do a menu plan for the month at New Year - normally I spend about £100 per week at mr S. Well last week I spent about £50 & just slightly less this week. :D

    Hope this doesn't affect their share price:rotfl:

    Anyway - flying related....I have given in to little one about dinner and agreed we can have pizza. :rolleyes: Ive done the dishes which have been there since this morning.

    Ive taken the cardboard out to the orange bin and 2 more carrier bags of recycling. Im really hoping they come to collect it this week. It hasnt been collected since before xmas now, but based on the weather, I doubt it.
