Yesterday took the kids up to Green Park to see the Motor Parade - 250 cars approx to celebrate the motor show coming back to london for 30 yrs. It was really good seeing them all and DS loved it of course! Jodie Kidd started it off in the Masurati! v.nice (car not jodie of course):D

Then went to Hyde Park and took kids to the playground, took some water with us but STILL NOT enough, so had to buy some more at £1.40 (little bottle at park kiosk).

On way home, heard A-HA rehearsing for the concert (cant remember who said they were going on wednesday now?)

Churchmouse - you really made me chuckle with the 'reconsecrating' thing. Nice to know I'm not the only one who's house is forever falling into chaos!

Bargain Rzl I'm really excited about this flat for you - please keep us up updated on it. I've got my fingers crossed that it's going to be perfect

Today I'm aching in places I never new I had and shattered as I was ironing until 1am, but nevertheless have persevered and got the 'blessing' done. It took me until 12!!! So much for an hours house belssing Ok, so I did do a bit of shopping after dropping the boys at school, and got S&S chicken in S/C and ingerdients in B/M and another load in W/M befor getting started

Going to go to the garden center now and have a well deserved latte in their coffee shop - boy do I love doing that!!!
Hope you all have a great day,
Kaz x

Well, I'm seeing a mortgage advisor on Wednesday lunchtime Like the housing association bloke I booked the viewing with, he seemed very impressed with the amount of "homework" I've done (God bless MSE!)

Break Time

Still to do:

• Livingroom floor - [STRIKE]Hoover [/STRIKE] / mop
• [STRIKE]Kitchen floor[/STRIKE]
• Dirty cloth wash
• Tiny bit of ironing
• Dishes - 1 load done, 1 maybe 2 left (big things like grill pan :rolleyes: )
• Ebay items to photograph & upload
• Make 2 more photoframes for DD to paint
• Set up craft stuff for DD to do when she comes in
• Make pasta sauce up for tea tonight

Seems like I haven't got much done since I last posted but I've also

• sorted out my to-do folder (now empty :j )
• photocopied a page from WM instruction book that I keep refering to and blue-taced it to the inside of my cleaning cupboard
• Clean the oven out, not properly, but its a major improvement
• put another load of washing out on the line
• swept the stairs so I could hoover the mess up
• had dinner - pasta with parmesan

Just about to go and dry a batch of dishes, wash another load then I'm off upstairs as I wash the livingroom floor to find another pair of trainers as the sole is coming off the ones I've been wearing, might even change my socks and put some boots on instead :think: Then I'll make up the beds properly (currently they're airing ), put some washing away and by then the livingroom floor should be dry Ready for me to start crafts in time for DD to come home. Right, dishes......:wave:

Hi everyone!
Moggins...I simply have to ask-was the "flying" you did this morning of the flylady variety or of the Besom broom variety being of the old religion et al?! My tiny mind is working overtime!
Very good weekend...amazingly for the first time ever we won in the raffle. We now have a magnum of fizz...it doesn't say champagne so heavenly only knows what's in it. Could be rocket fuel!! Had a very good weekend with my friend [I thought I was frugal but she can always teach me a thing or two!]
Lovely HM food...she did mushrooms in a cream and lemon sauce which were delicious and a raspberry cheesecake from a 30 year old recipe book she's just got 2nd hand. We really enjoyed the river festival in Bedford and then yesterday we went to Wimpole Hall. Fantastic walled gardens with loads of perennials and annuals and I saw my first ever humming bird hawk I think it's called [wouldn't quote me on that though]. They also have a collection of hilarious scarecrows that the gardeners have created completed out of recycled stuff [bubblewrap for arms], old clothes and I thought that would be a very good and cheap activity for the kidlets when they're off...particularly you OSers who grow your own!
Am trying not to dash around too much today but will need to pick up a card for my Mum's 60th. Had plans to make a HM one but have worked out that I can't fit it all in this week without grizzling! Small person is off to a FREE [how I love that word] party at the library after school today for the launch of this year's summer reading scheme. When I stagger back I will struggle to open the Tesco quiche box and sling a slice on everybody's plate!! Then I shall have to do some ironing and tend the garden.

LOL, it was of the flylady variety although being of the old religion I should probably have done it on my broom

Today I have shopped until I dropped, I even had to get a taxi back from town I had so much stuff and that was with my wally trolley in tow. Trust Debenhams to have a huge sale on and a further 10% off for cardholders DH couldn't moan though as I got him 2 pairs of trousers and 3 t-shirts. I bought 3 christmas presents for a tenner, bought myself a crushable straw hat for the summer and some Tommy Girl perfume that was reduced to £15 and came with a free rucksack I also got a lovely picnic rug which folds up to handbag size and has a handle

Bought way too much stuff to list it here but treated myself to a fried breakfast with orange juice which only cost me £3 and meant I didn't need any lunch.

Off to pick DD up from school in a minute and then taking her down to the doctors to have her meningitis jab, that will be fun (not).

Its too hot here I'm melting rapidly. Mind you I have been busy

• [STRIKE]Livingroom floor - Hoover / mop[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Dirty cloth wash[/STRIKE] - in the machine now with stardrops & soda crystals THEN SP biological powder and no conditioner but an extra rinse at a 60degree wash - if that doesn't get these cloths clean I don't know what will :rotfl:
• Tiny bit of ironing
• [STRIKE]Dishes[/STRIKE] 3 things left to wash - big mayo jar soaking, grill pan also in to soak but in the sink, and our desk tidy is soaking in starclean - all can until I next do some dishes.
• Ebay items to photograph & upload
• Make 2 more photoframes for DD to paint
• Set up craft stuff for DD to do when she comes in
• Make pasta sauce up for tea tonight

Just about to sort out the craft stuff for DD. Decided she can forget painting today as I'm not letting her get in too much a mess when we have to go out about 5pm Will make the pasta sauce up when I get back from school. Ebay can wait until after tea, or even tomorrow, will have to see as OH is off tomorrow (un-known to DD) and we're going to run errands tomorrow as hopefully (unless kiwk fit decide to keep the car :eek: ) we have a car and with no DD in tow and about 4 hourse Banks here we come :rotfl:
