    Have decluttered DS to college and DD2 to school WITH COMPLETED OPTIONS FORM:T:T:beer::beer::j:j!!!!!

    It's the best of a bad job, but after sleeping on it she's opted for Geography, English Language, Photography and Sociology....it boiled down to Photography or Psychology and she has less interest in Psychology than in Photography..so that's how we made the decision....:o

    2 large bags out for charity....and now I must fly like the wind cos the place is a pit......:laugh::wink::shhh:

    Good morning everyone.

    Havent a hope of doing the week's lists so will potter along with my own list today and then have a better go next week with the 'real' lists.

    So it's:
    paperwork, including invoices
    sort car insurance, or wont be able to go anywhere
    order train tickets online for Monday's trip to London
    WM about three times (not done any all week; good thing it's only me and DH)
    kitchen - currently full of dirty dishes
    declutter the top of the sewing machine so that I can....
    finish curtains for living room
    clear my desk - cant find anything on it at present and the keyboard is almost buried too (hence any spelling mistakes!)

    Right, that's about it. I have a few outside jobs I'd like to do, but it's pouring down outside and was all day yesterday too. Forecast is for rain right over the weekend and into next week, but that's nothing new. Seems that when it starts, it doesnt know when to stop.

    Hope everyone is feeling better today.

    Ruth
