    Now to find my list.:D
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Hi all,

    We've been out in the garden and i've filled a garden waste bag with weeds in between fetching things for Ds2 from the wendy house. I've also washed up the lunch things, put another load of washing out and put the wm on again. We're going to the park in a little while, i'm just going to put another load of washing out first.

    I have FINALLY got down to an IMPORTANT job I have been putting of FOREVER
    (Queen of Procrastination, c'est moi!)
    I am a QUARTER of the way through it.

    I am having a break from it - just downloading a podcast to listen to while I iron and hem DS's trousers....


    on the laundry front I wish to report that ALL the laundry went IN the wash last night ;) and not a word was said when (or even if) they could find nothing to wear;)

    I am at a 50th Birthday Party tonight for my NDN - she is not too pleased about being 50 (I KNOW the feeling) - I wish I had been a fly on the wall when she saw the banners - and I hope they decide to chuck 'em away and not save them for anyone they might know who is going to be 50 in September ;)

    I have arranged for exH to take DS to football then I don't need to worry about driving in the morning;)

    Oh and I pulled the washer out and cleaned under it :eek: and, in true Flylady style cleaned the wastepipe and put bleach, then hot water down the outlet - it was rather slimy. Having a washer by a back door where shoes are dumped it so NOT a good idea - stuff drifts under it and it gets absolutely horrific.
    Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY

    To Do List

    Spread out clothes and check I have enough of everything for a week - bearing in mind that the temperature seems to be improving. - DONE - just need to transfer to case.
    Case now moved to downstairs - wheels only good on the flat, still has to be carried on stairs :rotfl:
    Hopefully have enough of the right sort of clothes - at least when you go abroad you know what the temperature etc is going to be.

    Sort toilet bag - can't close up till tomorrow morning
    Remember camera - battery on charge!

    Try and get into garden now weather has improved

    FILE NAILS!!

    Book taxi - DONE

    Good afternoon :beer: We had a lovely evening out yesterday, and have been out today to see an exhibition of DD's photography in Leeds :T It was lovely, so we took a picnic and ate it in the grounds, then went for a walk.

    Going to do some rubble clearing in the garden (we found and excavated the old well) then HM pasta sauce for tea with Doctor Who :T

    hi all

    am back from hols, lovely time! we're all unpacked, wm is on though we did most before coming home...now relaxing before a kebab and night in later! Need to nip to shop (or send dh) for bread and milk but otherwise all ok for today. Flat is nice and clean & tidy as DH spent the day cleaning before we went away...need to finish making up the spare bed as I've been waking dh in the night with my (apparently) super loud breathing so one of us can wander in there if it continues!

    hope everyone is ok, won't catch up this week...but lovely to see penpen back
