    Morning all

    Working from home today so will try and get some bits of flying done whilst I'm here. Beds really need changing and I have an urge to wash all the net curtains, but it's not really the day for it (pouring down!)

    Must get a good amount of work done, am just so tired today!

    In my HHC I've:

    Took recycling out
    Put rubbish out
    Put dishes away
    Sorted glasses cupboard
    Washed more dishes
    Cleaned sink
    Wiped oven and hob
    Loaded WM

    Now I'm thinking I'll peel the veg and that for tea as then the peelings can go in the recycling before the bin gets emptied today - rather than sitting there for another 2 weeks.

    Morning all.

    All kiddies ready for summer scheme and there going on a trip today, all excited here. :rotfl:

    My plan today is to get the gardens cut, Mr T is to be here between 11 and 1. I've my meal plan done out and i really am gonna stick to it this time. Need to call in at the butchers on the way back.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Morning. I'm glad it is the kitchen as i already did a bit in there at the weekend and yesterday, so i might have chance to do a bit more than i thought.

    Mumto5 - hope all is ok today. Delete the person on FB so you don't have to waste your energy on their rubbish.

    In laws visit later, and we are still in PJs and not had breakfast so i think i should get on a bit. I also need a shower and to wash my hair.

    Do you think my ant killer spray will kill maggots? Or should I just use boiling water?

    I've had my friend and his 10 year old son staying with me since last Friday and they leave tomorrow so my all girl household.... well me and my 4 year old daughter have had messy boys about the place but have got them making sure the clutter is put away and have still kept up with the list, albeit just level 1!! They thought I was mad but I can tell they appreciate the tidiness and knowing where things are for once.
    After this week once they've gone then will try to do a bit more from the list each day.
