Morning All

Well the home visit went well I think but got to wait for the ok from the RSPCA. Then I had Beavers and then went to bed when DH arrived home. However I had tidied and hoovered all downstairs in preparation for the visit so I'm hoping that whatever's on today's list won't take that long to do. DD asked me last night how long it's going to stay tidy for - until Saturday she said - I said no it's going to always stay like this - she said there was no chance!

Boddy - pleased yesterday went well.

Have a good day all

Hugs

Oh well - didn't get much flying done yesterday due to Mum's 'flat clearance' - just moving a 'few bits' so the flat looks better for the estate agent's photos............

So. 4 heavy boxes, 2 blue Ikea bags full of books and other assorted bits later, her place looks a lot better! As for ours, well!!!! DH has put most of it in the loft, it will probably stay there till she moves now!

Hopefully I will get on with some things later after work - at least I am getting inspiration from seeing what everyone else can get done on this thread - wonder if I can get a day off on Thursday and have a huge blitz then?

Have a good day everyone!

Morning all. DPs work called this morning to say he doesn't need to go in at something like 5.30 he's snoring and I couldn't get back to sleep. DS2 dressed and having breakfast, DS1 who went to sleep much later is awake but hasn't moved yet (I will go rattle him in a mo)

I'm on a training day again (hope it's better today that's for sure!) then make tea and I've got autism training tonight, the speaker is a specialist teacher who is amazing so I am sure I will enjoy it. DP appeared a little put out when I reminded him he had the boys as he was about to book going to the YC to do more work. He's been moaning how little time he sees the kids and wants to changed jobs to see them more (always worrying/uncertainty) then he's made sure he has been busy every day for the last 2 weeks .... Think we will have a little chat before I go out! He said he'd take them to trampolines and now says he isn't hmmm men!

Anyway I'm going to do this little lot before I go out

Quick tidy of LR
Empty DW and refill
2 washer loads - yes TD again as chucking down
Put food containers in bag
Drop catering companies trays & platters off
Make sure DS1 remembers about his tutorial
Print off some info for some of the mums
Find DPs access codes for online banking
Try to work out rest of finances
Find paperwork for my expenses forms
