Evening all, been a long day, have been to London for the day to try and sort stuff out for one of the trips we're doing with school this week. Am shattered now, left here at 7 this morning and got back at 9.30ish, having driven 2 hours each way and then walked round London all day Had a great day, will get all expenses covered but am very tired now and have all the housework etc to do tomorrow, but a lie-in is definitely on the cards first

Morning all, the lie-in didn't really materialise, have been out and done todays part of the C25K instead. This week I have to do 1 min jog / 2 mins walk for 20 minutes. Its only the second week and I'm knackered, pathetic isn't it! Running just isn't my thing at all

So, the rest of today ... I need a shower, blitz the flat, washing / ironing, food shopping, wrap and deliver bil's birthday present, collect ds at 3, send back the appeal for the tax return, go to the petrol station and collect one of monsters ds games that went up their industrial hoover , help ds with his homework and then get ready for the week ahead!

Flat is tidy, all floors are clear again, everythings back where it should live, dishwasher and washing machine are both on, now time to clean everywhere and hoover through

Have also placed a couple of bets for later today.

benbenandme

Shower done, second lot of washing in the machine, hoovering and dusting done, bathroom cleaned.

Still got the kitchen to clean, the rubbish to go out etc ... Off now to collect the ds game, food shopping and get some petrol. Doesn't stop does it??! :cool:

Did I mention that I still chat via email every day to coffee guy?? ... 3 emails already today

£34 profit from todays bets :beer:
Ds is home again now and all is good with the world
Spent £46 in Sainsburys and £34 on petrol (but have yesterdays petrol to claim back).

Well I managed to get all my jobs done except for the ironing, but thats because half of the washing isn't dry yet so there wasn't much point.

Dad is going into respite tomorrow, they phoned mum today and have a space. He is not too keen again but my sister and I have both said we'll visit each lots

I've got quite a hectic week this week; tuesday and thursday I'm in London with school which means ds has sleepovers at mums on monday and wednesday nights as we leave early in the morning. Ww's on wednesday, ds school disco on friday, 3 more jogging sessions for the c25k, visiting Dad and 5 days at work .... roll on next weekend! :rotfl:

Glad that your Dad is going for respite.

I'm waiting for washing to dry too, for ironing - boy do I miss my tumble drier!!

I echo what Hypno has said about your dad - glad he is going for respite. Guess it'll be good for your mum to have your ds overnight as some company for her. Hope you have a good time in London; guess we won't hear too much from you this week.
