    Morning folks

    A busy week for me one way and another.

    1 car taken to garage already this morning for a MOT
    About to go and follow OH at 10am to bike respray garage / workshop so his bike can be resprayed after his fall off it a few weeks ago, then bring him back home, so he can sleep as he starts nights again this week!

    1 item to pack to post (ebay sale) 2 more I notice also have bids on them!!.

    Just trying to work out how to wrap xmas present for my father, seeds in a large pot thing, a most odd shape, I think cellophane (sp) is the way to go, so off to ebay to have a search, I think I am sort of planning to put the seeds / pot in the middle and bring the sides up and sort of bunch it at the top with a ribbon or similar.

    Work at 9am as well.

    Have a good day, hugs to all those that need them or are ill. xxxx

    OK, that wasn't bad: top of fridge wiped, along with the 3 trays which live there. Top of TD wiped and stacked with last few bits of shopping I need to find a home for. 2 frying pans and a tray scrubbed and put away. Hob wiped. Spice rack emptied, cleaned and re-organised.

    I'll need to do a few more HHCs before I start to see the difference, but I'm on a roll now. Going to put the kettle on for some herbal tea, some music for company and off I go again.

    How did you get on, Dusty and Penpen?

  • Up at the crack of dawn today, must have been the excitement of the boys going back to school. Got two washes donw before 8.30, and boys into school for 8.45.
    The eldest went in fine today. He's 8, has aspergers and the start of the last school year resulted in me dragging him in for 7 weeks, so fingers crossed.

    Just having breakfast now and then I'll be in the kitchen doing level 1/2 (and 3 if I can). Dining area is just a table in the living room.

    Well I have managed to sweep and mop the floors in thekitchen and utility. But I need a rest now.
    DGD tried to help, so I had to go over it again.
    Its still wet so I cannot do anything until its dried. (Unfortunately the bathroom is off the kitchen, and i need to walk over it now, to go to the loo!!!!! DGD will not wait of course.).!!!
    Have cleared the kitchen table, and wiped the surfaces automatically when getting tea earlier.
    DGD has a cloth and is cleaning her table.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.
