  • TNG I haven't had an email yet telling me todays mission, so we'll pretend we aren't behind as i didn't get around to that yet either. ;)

    Pen - pen -my sisters birthday is the 20th. She'll be 21, and i desperately need to think of some inspiration for a present for her. Best ring my other sister today - i hadn't thought about how to let you lot now. I've given him a great big list of email addresses, so if you want to PM me yours, i could add it to that list and you could announce it for me on the daily. :D

    denise don't feel bad, that is one off day, and you still are achieving something.

    plan for today:
    1) finish 8D scheme for school (absolute last day of boring school work)
    2) clean the microwave
    3) clean the breadmaker
    4) [STRIKE]clean the outside of washing machine[/STRIKE], and the drawer
    5) empty off airers, folding clothes or starting a new ironing pile
    6) [STRIKE]wash the next load of baby clothes[/STRIKE]
    7) clean kitchen window frame
    8) clean kitchen windows
    9) clean PVC door - inside and out
    10) remind DH to put bin out
    11) [STRIKE]fold clothes from TD[/STRIKE]
    12) cook dinner, chicken stir fry
    13) [STRIKE]deal with post[/STRIKE]
    14) make sure kitchen is left tidy tonight
    15) [STRIKE]do last nights washing up[/STRIKE]

    i'd also like to do some cross stitch, but haven't managed any of that since monday. Will probably do that tomorrow as i will be waiting for the fridge repair man who could turn up any time between 8 and 1.

    I know that is quite a long list this morning, but i am feeling ready for it, so we will see where i get. It's a beautiful sunny day :T so my motivation is good.

    Punky i promise to work at snails pace and stop if i feel tired.


    Take care everyone,
    Michelle, x
