    Debt-free and Proud!
    In my HHC I; tidied round, fed the WM and TD (line full outside), sorted bins and recycling, started dinner, did some filing and shredding. Since coming back from school I have, finished preparing dinner, sorted lunch boxes and am decluttering a coffee.

    Pigpen - very strange about the photo?
    Greenbee/LW/Summermoon - interesting ring stuff.

    Pigpen I wouldn't like it either. DD has a friend (7) and she has her own facebook page with noe security and there is a photo of her on there with DD. When I asked the headmaster, he said that I had not signed the form to stop all parents taking photos at school activities!!! He said he would have a word with the mother but it's still there!!!! Not the same thing but it reminded me xx

    Evening everyone

Nice to see that DH has putr a smile on your face.:D

    holly give neavah a big hug from me xx
    jinky (((hugs))) honeyn- i hope thats the start of your healing process - you have got rid of all that emotion so now its Jinky on the up xx
    pigpen i would think its rather odd to say the least and doesnt it fall into the realms of child protection where you cant take photos without the parent's permission? something like that I am sure you know what i mean. I wouldnt like it and would want to know why! Its not the 1st time children's photos have been passed around for sexual reasons.
    flybabybunting nice to see you - i will add you back to the list later.

    have to dash as my friend is coming in while her hubby goes to a football match!!

    toots xx
    back later
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
    Live each day as if its your last

    Pigpen - there should be a policy in the school about photos being taken, you may have to sign an opt out form - does the woman work in the school - if not why was she in the classroom takling photos, if she works there maybe the photo was for something she is doing for the classroom [print off photo for her evidence or for a project] If it was me I wouldn't like it and would want to know more about it as it happened in class.

    Done nothing in the way of flying today as DD is off school today - emotional night last night - she spilled the beans on all thats troubling her, so she was just to drained to go in today and to be honest so was I so didn't put up much of a fight and let her have the day off, she's much better now and defo going in tomorrow

    I have found a brilliant way of studying...don't come home. I stayed at work for an hour and a half once I finished today. I can't access the internet on my laptop there and it amazing how quickly I got some work done, 999 words in just over an hour :D we are due to finish around lunchtime tomorrow so am going to do the same again and see how much I can do

    Tuesday - Sitting Room and Hallway
    Level One
    Open the windows and turn on some music! Windows yes, but I'll pass on the music if you don't mind.;)
    Dust the fluffy electricals Done (Mr LW – he can get under the desk easier than I can!)
    Declutter the chairs, floor and fireplace Done
    Level Two
    Vacuum the floor now it is visible Done (Mr LW)
    Pile all hotspots into one heap and sort through it all.. File/shred as appropriate No hotspots; filing and shredding are all up to date.
    Clean any glass.. pictures, windows, mirrors etc Done all I can; there are a few pictures I can't reach properly, even with the step stool, Mr LW has said he'll do those this evening once he's had his dins.:A
    Level Three
    Vacuum under any furniture you can.. please don't injure yourselves! Done (Mr LW)
    Wipe sofas and dusty places Done
    HHC in the hallway.. sort those coats and shoes and mess!! Can you wash and put away winter ones yet? Hallway only contains bookcases, and they're tidy. HHC on our racks of “current” stuff to check for anything that's no longer current instead.
    Extras

    1. Freshen up any soft furnishings All OK.
    2. Binbag dance... grab a bag fill it and fling it! Done
    3. Wash windows so the springy sunshine can get in.. Done
    4. Wipe the woodwork in these areas Done
    5. Membership paperwork that came in today's post. Done
    I am sooooo thankful that Mr LW hoovers the entire bungalow every Sunday and also does things like dusting the electricals, which are difficult for me to get to. We didn't anticipate cleaning all the pictures today, but bless him, when I told him it was on the list (he rings me twice a day from work to check I'm OK) he said not to risk stretching to try and do them, he'll do them tonight.

    I'm totally whacked now, thankfully tonight's dins is already prepared, just needs nuking when he gets home. Still, only 3 more nights of him on 24-hour on-call, then maybe I can get something approaching a reasonable night.:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
