HV been and gone.. She said unless I seek her out I won't be seeing her again.. bonus!!

Just waiting for DS1's gf to turn up and we are away for shoes OH is taking 4 of these ice skating..

dd1 needs hoofing out of her pit as she has to ring college to get a different enrollment date.. she is away with KH the day she has been given.. and I am refusing to ring for her.. I am her mother, NOT her PA!!

I didn't get to bed until 5:30this morning thanks to a certain naughty little miss who refused to feed properly and screamed pretty much non-stop from 3-5am.. every time I tried feeding her she would slide herself off a little so she was not latched properly and causing me huge amounts of pain!

I tidied a corner of the bedroom.. so Freja has a nice orderly heap of toiletries and 'too big' clothes are all in a neat box.. just the rest of the house to deal with now!! lol

Just found out we're getting a costco card (via OH's work). Going to stock up on flour/marg etc, well anything that's going sky high in MR T's, which doesn't help when they keep taking the cheap products off the shelf and force me to buy branded.

Haven't done a lot today. Went down the allotment and tacked the weeds, did some shopping and about to make up some tea cake dough and finish in the kitchen...then I can get to day 2.

Son went into school well again today - so far so good.

365days

Well I am highly embarrased to say my HHC meant that I did all of the washing up!

I said my house was a pit and I wasn't joking! So can't actually cross off anything at the moment...sink currently empty and covered in a mix of stardrops and zoflora. I have 2 weeks to get this house sorted. And I will.

Will probably bore you to death as I go along too! Back to it in 10.

Hmmm I have a DS1 still in his pit... Anyone got a pitchfork?


On second thoughts I'm more likely to tempt him downstairs with one of the do-nuts.

Mum_on_a_mission_2

In my HHC - I've got myself up to date with church accounts and credit control (just need to pop to the post office to post invoices) :j
had lunch
made a phone call

so list is getting shorter...

haircut pm (I look like a shaggy dog atm)
Ironing mountain
more washing if weather clears
bits onto freegle
supermarket shop, with list of those odd things we need, after looking in kitchen cupboards first (spices, herbs, oil, those sort of bits)
buy DS's school trousers - look at a suits as well (we are at a wedding soon and current one is I think too short!)
start spot treating carpets downstairs - waiting on a good weather day before I steam wash them

but forgot a meeting tonight, so need to add meeting prep!

Hello all. 365days welcome; Have a tree :xmastree:so that our Meeter'n'Greeter will spot you.:D

Congratulations to Mumto5's DD1. Great news!:T

Piggers hey, good result on DLA and HV! You're on a roll today!:D

Penny went home at 09:30, so I've been keeping busy to stop myself feeling too lonely; hence today's list is all done. All helped by having a lovely DH who vacuums for me every weekend (the Dyson's way too heavy for me to manage).:A

Level OneOpen the windows and turn on some music! Windows yes (briefly – it's a tad chilly today) Music... NO!!! *stamps foot petulantly*

Declutter the chairs, floor and top of any cupboards! Done
Level Two
Vacuum under any furniture you can.. please don't injure yourselves! Done

Wipe sofas, paintwork and dusty places Done
HHC in the hallway.. vacuum floors/stairs, wipe paintwork, fling that junk mail!.. if there is a charity shop bag.. FILL IT! All done – even air-dusted the Chinese dragons and Green Man, which are fairly inaccessible!

2. Binbag dance N/A – done yesterday (in preparation for bin day); nothing has reappeared as yet.
3. Clean switches and sockets Done all I can get to

Out tonight with Mr LW's pal, so trying not to use too many more spoons today; don't know who's driving yet (probably Muggins here:D).
