    Just took everything out of packets draw. Decided to put all individual (Valli ;)) packets into separate zip-bags to stop spillage, crams, etc

    And my worktop looks like something terrible happened and there is a mount of evidence on the site of CSI

    back to the list..:j

    Extras

    My extras (apart from daily jobs):
    Get DH to sort through piles of paper everywhere that I can sort and start to file
    Once nursery have got back to me, speak to pre-school re how many sessions are being claimed for
    Contact HMRC and tell them free sessions are through nursery, not pre-school
    Collect DS's inhaler from pharmacy
    Keep decluttering - 15 mins at a time
    Send off knitted hat and 2 knitted vests for preemie babies charity
    Book me and DD in for a hair cut with Laura
    Take old meds to pharmacy for disposal


    MACAW
    In bed by 10.30
    [STRIKE]S[/STRIKE] (no), [STRIKE]M[/STRIKE] (almost, 10.35!), [STRIKE]T[/STRIKE] - yes, should be!, [STRIKE]W[/STRIKE] - no way, going to struggle for 11.30 at this rate, [STRIKE]T[/STRIKE] - oh dear, can't do an early tonight!, [STRIKE]F[/STRIKE] - yay, in bed by 10.30!, S

    Friday all done please Toots xx :j:T:j:T

    Decided it's best not to think about it and just get going and get the jobs done. The bathroom looks so much better - will pop the mats and shower curtain in with the washing tonight (we're on Economy 7 so only wash clothes in the early hours of the morning to save money ;))

    How to celebrate ....... hmmm, let's walk the dog in the rain, that's always fun! Be back later once I've got DS from pre-school.

    Disaster!!! :eek::eek::eek:


    Got into boys’ toys box… and noticed that a shoe box where they keep their lego is torn.

    Decided to pull it out and tape it, but it broke in my hands……. Lego scattered all over the place….

    There goes my HHC 10.15 …..

    More haste but less speed :)
    so a HHC lego sorting ;)

    I have stripped the beds
    chased the recycling men to give them what they dropped
    brought the box in
    took neighbours box round theirs

    Last time ours was collected was 11 December :eek:
    missed 25th dec ;)
    missed 8th Jan - no show due to weather!

    I also do recycling at school, same week but the Tuesday - so we had STACKS there, too (all paper) - and usually they collect in the morning - they didn't get to school this week unitl 3:30 due to the VAST quantities/missed collections

    Checked the school website to read this week's newsletter so I am 'in the loop'.
    Packed a parcel ready to post later ;)
    admired whoopsied lamb in SC and pondered whether to serve it today or chill and skim it first - could then use it Sunday after football - decisions decisions

    Now I WILL go and CLEAN my bedroom

    ETA just put spud in oven for lunch - now joining Rosepink;) cleabning my bedroom...
    I may be gone for some time :rotfl:
