I'll clean the oven after kids have gone to bed & I haven't actually mopped the kitchen floor as I figured I'll do that after cleaning the oven.

Also done a wash load & put that to dry indoors.

I no longer have any ironing...until todays washing is dry!

Bathroom is also swished.

I might just chill out for a bit.....but oddly enough I find that quite difficult! I have the kids wardrobes/drawers to sort so I may start them!

A kid in my class was doing a show and tell today, it was a box with a tiny, and fragile, hinge. I told the class she couldn't pass it round because of this part and asked if anyone knew what it was called. The answer came - 'inge'. 'You're almost right,' I said, 'but you have missed a letter off at the beginning.' - I asked if anyone knew the complete word.

And the answer came back...

'minge'

and the award for keeping a straight face goes to

Off into town when he finished (14:30) to collect my meds, then do battle in Tesco, home for him to do his Wii exercises, and possibly a couple of tasks that need doing, including scanning the pics he took on holiday (he still uses an old fashioned camera with film in it) and then at 19:30 we're due to pick up his mate to go to the pub. Lime juice and soda only for me as I'm the Designated Driver.:(

Afternoon all

Been out running a whole load of errands but mission accomplished.

AJ and Serena congratulations to your DSs

Off for a cuppa and a HHC to get my dailies done (I have new toilet brushes)

Afternoon all,

I didn't manage to get anything done earlier. By the time i'd had a shower, got dressed and done my hair and make up it was time to pick up Ds2. I just fell asleep sitting up on the sofa :cool: i don't know what's wrong with me. My alarm was going off for 40 mins this morning before i woke up.:eek: My poor neighbours i hope they couldn't hear it.

I'm going to do a HHC NOW if anyone wants to join me. If i don't do something i'm going to fall asleep again.

Dustykitten

following right behind you holly

God i hate lists. mrs bounder is away for a week so she left me a list of things to do. like i needed it.
One thing was buy a new cat flap because our old one worked by a magnet and some other cat also with a magnet was coming in and pinching the moggys food. So i got an infra red one. great, other cat cant get in but ours wont use it because when he gets near the lock makes a clicking sound and he is scared of it.
so great fly ladys how do you train an old cowardly cat to use a cat flap without getting nailed by the RSPCA?

Cats...nothing an air rifle wouldn't sort out...*ducks flying missiles* seriously, go on pets and pet care and ask foreign correspondent s/he's a legend.

Opened storage bench to get paperwork out to sort, and was assailed by arachnids of every variety. Promptly closed lid and will beg DH to sanitise it first.
