Belated happy birthday wishes for Kazwookie and Miss A.

Early start today with DS3 to tennis and DS2 to school for a football match. DS3 got player of the week and DS2 got man of the match but lost 4-9:(. The school team is nowhere as good as his Sunday League team and the difference is shocking. DS2 was very downhearted.

DH has cracked the whip at DS1 who is the only one of the 3 eldest who has to be repeatedly reminded to do his chores. He chose to sweep the hall/kitchen/dining floor rather than emptying the bins.

I've cleaned the downstairs windows - they are a bit smeary as my left hand doesn't buff very well. DH has cleaned the microwave and Toaster and washed every shelf/drawer in the fridge. It looks immaculate and he is very pleased with himself.

4 x WM, 2 x TD, 1 x DW.

I'm pleased to say that our water DD has gone down £9 per month. We have had a definite drop in water pressure so perhaps that's got something to do with it.:)

good heavens toottifrootti you are so organised!!

125 - registering things for the guarantee is something that i always forget to do! so that will be something i do tomorrow - got a new td and a keyboard to register.

ive jsut done a binbag dash in kids rooms that turned into a real level 3 blitz ... ended up taking nearly 3 hours and 3 sacks to get them shipshape! chucked lots of junk, old toys that are broken etc ... feel very smug with myself now!

happy saturday everyone! :beer:

Toots You have a longer list than mine!
It has been a massive help to me to do a list room by room as you suggested. I only have 135 on my list but I do keep adding to it. Hope you are doing okay

I have now cleaned the hob and the top of the fridge, the kitchen floor has been mopped three times and I have decided enough is enough. Off to church in a minute.

Dippypud

Bimbled around in DDs room while she's at Uni.

It's turning into a RoD, she had a small cotton Spongebob bag at the bottom of her sock basket. I picked it up and 2 tons of chocolate powder falls out...:mad: !!!!!!

So we have clean socks and dirty socks mixed with choc powder...

Rant over,

Hope everyone has had a goodish afternoon, hugs, spoons sticks as required.

Cuppa whilst WM has a go at choc moving.

greenbee

Monkey cake made and boxed. Just need to keep away from it until its collected at 11 tomorrow! It's huge... so is currently taking up most of the work surface.

Otherwise I've done no flying (apart from keeping the kitchen clean enough to work with sugarpaste and washing up stuff to reuse). Nor have I taken any exercise, or eaten... Not a good day so far really, although I did do my online strengthfinder test that I'd been meaning to do for two years

Things are still difficult with OH so I'm finding it very difficult to get myself motivated to do anything much. Maybe a hot bath and an early night tonight will help. That tax return isn't going to go away if I just ignore it, is it!

Sentora

:o:o:o:o:o:o:o

No flying since Tuesday :eek:

Will do all tomorow ready for next week.

Just want to hand out hugs, spoon and sticks as needed.

:A Much love to all!!!

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: TEE-HEE if I was so organised I wouldnt have that list!!!! I keep trying but like pooh I keep finding more things that need to be done!!

I have a list of other stuff that is def not flying related and a list of nice things i would like to achieve in my leisure time whatever and whenever that is:eek:

just keep chipping away at things tired with twins and you will find yourself doing things without really thinking about it. little routines can make a huge difference.
