thanks for the list.

Both children have had chicken pox, then DS had concussion and sadly my aunt died yesterday at the age of 59.

Morning all

It is another nice day here but very frosty - the murdering cat was gald to come inside earlier - she has now been fed and is asleep on the foot stool in the sunshine!

Thanks to the wonderful three who keep us motivated with lists and stars (not that I have ever managed to get a star!!)

Anyway I am in for the full week as I have just spoken to my manager and she has suggested that I stay off work this week and be back in next Monday - I was going to go in on Wednesday but hey ho a few more days at home to carry on decluttering/flying. I am going to follow the basic list but subsitute the deeper cleaning things like washing curtains for more decluttering things such as moving mount washmore from the sofa - I hope this is ok.

Right - will get cracking in about 10 mins as DD is supposed to be on the way to college then and I will have a peaceful house.

5. Food shopping
6. Anniversay declutter mission
7. Tax return - think that pass word only lasted for 7 days - will need to call re issuing it again but can find financial details so ready to do it when new password arrives.
   
8. EMA form for ungrateful DD
9. Cancel SKY - gave DD an ultimatum that she had to complete her chores (clean bathroom, her bedroom and her washing up but Sunday night or it goes) She watched several hours of catch up tv yesterday but apart from a small load of washing up no chores were done!!)
10. X-ray of neck
    

She has gone now but thinks the bus has already gone so I am half expecting her back again! I think I will do a HHC from 10 to 10.30 then shower and go for Xray.

See you later
