    I BELIEVE I CAN FINISH MY PANTRY TOMORROW?

    Feeling very sorry for myself, but did have fish and chips for tea, as the pantry's attempt at world domination has started by taking over all the previously clean and tidy kitchen surfaces.

    ...'you can do anything that you want to do if you're ready..
    prove it to yourself and say..I want(?) I will I can do anything!
    Don't stop moving keep it up keep on moving get it right, you got to get it right...
    (lyrics probably well badly misheard schoolchild style)
    High fives and american stylee group hugs all round!

    Hints for helping you to fly...gym bags, p.e. bags - pack them straight from the laundry basket! When I have been to the gym and dd has been swimming we have a carrier bag so we can get all the stuff out at once and avoid the 'oops I have on a pair of 'ripe' pants scenario...then as the bag is nice and clean and empty put a fresh new kit in it all ready for next time.
    Get the kids alarm clocks so you don't have to waste time waking them up in person. ALso I keep a set of basic toiletries in my gym bag and one in each bathroom so I don't have to keep swapping and moving stuff about everywhere. Also I have a washbag ready for weekends/nights away so I don't have to pack that either as it's all ready.
    My alarm is going to be set for 6:)
    Goodnight everyone
