Morning all
have no washing to peg out - because none made it into the washbasket.
I SO don't want to be here when the realisation that dirty clothes haven't been collected from bedroom floors, washed, ironed tenderly and been rehung in wardrobes hits.
Because, somehow, the fault will be mine...
I'm pretty sure they are old enough to have understood what you said - quick lesson in consequences coming up.
I'm just feeling smug :rotfl:
Chairdrobe cleared - completely
Contents either hung up or in basket. WM on and whirly ready and waiting.0 -

Open University S104 Exploring Science - tons of different subjects all one after the other - Bit of environmental science, Plate tectonics, physics, chemistry, biochemistry, biology, geology, quantum mechanics, astrophysics & maths required to deal with these subjects, and TA212 Technology of Music - basically the physics of sound rather than music appreciation.
Once the science is finished in mid June, will just have TA212 and a week long science residential in August, then finish music in October. No idea what to do next though, as I've done enough points to count as having completed 2 years of study by then. Definitely happier with science than arts though. So might try and stretch it out a bit rather than dash to graduate.
Sounds like fun, if you ever need a hand give me a yell. Just finishing 2nd year of an MSc in Maths:T

well since I have done all my work:A:p
I am off birthday present shopping today for DD:D:heartpulsOnce a Flylady, always a Flylady:heartpuls0 -
We have sun, I can't believe how warm it is, the sensible thing would be to go home and do all my washing so it could be hung out, but I'm thinking I would rather stay with BF
1 load of washing out on the line - been out for an hour, I love putting the washing machine on then getting back in bed for an hour, it feels like you are actually doing something
2nd load in WM, which means BF laundry basket is empty (apart from the sock I have just found on the kitchen floor :rotfl:)
2 cups of tea decluttered, windows all open, BF in garden tidying up the last bit, think I'll go and sunbathe for 10 mins
Hope everyone has a good day and does whats best for themselves today, whether clean, rest, go out. stay inMortgage Aug 12 £165K, Aug 19 £0
