    Am up, breakfasted, and have dropped DD and friend off to their orchestra. MUST do the sitting room today - it's desperate. :o. Did a lot of paperwork this week, so a few things can go straight away... am now going to do 2xHHC until about 11:00 to see how much more can go...

    Tuesday ~ Living Room, Hall and Stairs
    Level 1
    Vacuum floors and sofas

    [STRIKE] Catch up on phone calls.. make necessary appointments .. and sort out insurance policies that need renewing soon!! [/STRIKE]
    Level 2
    Dusting, even if around everything
    Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe
    Clean TV, other electricals and cabinets
    Level 3
    Wipe light switches, sockets (make sure they are not switched on!!) and banister
    Clean any other glass like mirrors, pictures etc
    Tidy shoes, coats and bags .. wash any that need washing. See if there are any that don't fit, past their best or just plain uncomfy which could leave the house!


    Extras
    1. [STRIKE]Paperwork clearance.. spend 15 minutes minimum sorting through those piles of paper.[/STRIKE]
    2. Vacuum under furniture you can manage to move without hurting yourself
    3. Clean a window or two.
    4. Get yourself a bag or box, go around collecting things that are not in the place they should be, then put them back where they should be, or better still give them to their owners to put away themselves
    Hmm. Off I go....

    Ditto that :( 12 years for us tomorrow, can't bear to go to church so Miss A, W and I will be going out for the day instead. Think we might go to the cinema early doors so that we are incommunicado for a while.

    Special hugs for you sweetie, you have brought a tear to my eye. It was you I was thinking about most when I made my post;) I think of you whenever there is a load of OH/DH/EH complaining going on and wonder what you feel. You are so brave and never pull people into line. I hope tomorrow isn't too painful for you and know for sure I'll be thining of you.

    Morning all

    It is lovely and sunny but too hot for my taste so I'll be waiting until later on before gardening. I like evening gardening I just need to be wearying of the biting things.

    I need to pop to the shops today and I might even get the duster out whilst indoors. Bathroom could do with a clean at some point too and as the intray is spilling onto the floor a bit of time sorting that won't go a miss.

    SLIP SLAP SLOP my friends

    Breakfast was yummy - pancakes topped with plain greek yogurt, sliced banana and honey. DS1 also had some bacon.
    WM and DW are on, sink shining. I'm off for a couple of hours of flying, then visiting MIL and shopping (fence paint, tester pots for play house paint, newspaper). If the paint is ok I'll go back to get some later.
    I'll probably catch up with the thread when I have lunch.

    Have done so with my once a day SPF50 to protect my milky white skin :D

    I burn mega easy and have developed a slight obsession about SPF when the weather picks up

    Well the washing is done and on the line, garden ready to attack, just trying to drag myself away from Sat Kitchen. Has been a nice gentle start to the day after the 5.30am wake ups this week. I've been enjoying waking up at this time for some strange reason!

  • Does anyone know what the safeguarding requirements are for pre-schools? DD2 keeps arriving to find AN Other working there, and I am pretty certain they will not have been checked or trained.

    The manager says she cannot give me their names because of "data protection" which is codswallop, its hardly classified who works where.

    In addition to my hayfever I appear to have an ear infection as well.. why do these things flare up last thing Friday night? So, in between coughing and snotting I have been ear prodding and whining.. Must find some drugs today.. :p

    Boiling already here and OH is to be thrust up into th darkest depths of the loft.. he hates ladders but at least he fits through the loft hatch, heehee...

    DD1 off out with her friends.. I am wondering whether to whisper in DD2's ear if she can go with them.. I am good like that :p

    I am then going to fling the unwanted gibble from the garden round to the front of the house.. see if I can get some of it 'removed'.. I love my street sometimes :D.. and I am having children pairing up socks and putting away pants.. and I am trotting out to empty and tidy the shed... there are all sorts of junk out there!.. Actually, I wonder if my uncle wants some of it, I know there is a tank thing full of copper fittings and bits..
