    Evening all :)
    Hugs to Grateful and MOAM xx
    Haven't started flying yet - got home from work, started cooking sausages for tea then went to DS1 parents evening - he has had Merits and Distinctions and really good reports from college tutors :) My youngest had his parents evening last week in school and has received A's and A*'s so really proud of both of them although really don't know where they get their brains from!
    Ok so off to finish cooking tea, get WM on after TD has finished and try and get at least Level 1 done :) Need as early a night as I can tonight :)

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I've done extras, but not floors for level one. :(

    On the plus side I just raced around and tidied up the sitting room, so its tidyish all the way through the ground floor again. I'll try and do ALL ground level floors tomorrow. then it will feel pretty decent.

    Hi chaps
    I know many of you have small people to work round and that can be majorly challenging, but to be honest I'm really struggling with flying cos I work full time. Not a problem if I have a free evening but many evenings I leave the house at 8am (usually only have time to put a wash on, empty dishwasher or similar before I go), back at 6pm and then often go out within the hour. Somebody please make me some time! Do you have any secrets of fitting it all in?

    working full time... shudder... i remember that, it was horrid.
    Erm...
    • make sure the dirty clothes hit the washing basket and get one where you can sort as you go
    • find a routine for stuff just out of the washer, depending on whether you have a tumble dryer
    • damp towels hung up to dry after use
    • packed lunch made night before
    • "landing strip" i.e a designated area for when you come in and go out so you always know where keys are
    • clean as you go when cooking as drips are more difficult to remove when dry
    • Internet banking, billing, food orders
    • Unclutter.
    that'll do for now...:rotfl:
    ETA it doesn't have to be perfect, just done

  • Good evening everyone,

    Well, what a day!

    I managed to get most of the list and my dailies done today, then this afternoon I had a hospital appointment.
    After being pulled, pushed and prodded about the consultant decided to change my medication as the Sulphasalazine wasn't working as well as he'd hoped.
    So now as well as various injections I'm now taking Methotrexate and folic acid. I hope they work a bit better as I'm getting really pi55ed off now - I don't do pain very well, not when there is no let up anyway:o

    Monday ~ Kitchen, Utility and Dining areas

    Level One - done
    Level Two
    Clean blinds/curtains and light shades
    Level Three
    Throw away 10 items from each room!

    Extras
    1. HHI
    Dailies - done

    Hugs to everyone in need,

    xx

    This morning I put recycling bin out. Clean washing put away. Dailies done.

    Took cat to the vets. She could only find a graze on his paw. He was so good for the vet I was surprised. He has had a injection and been prescribed antiinflammatories. She also found he has a heart murmur. He got weighed and is 5.5 kilos. Just have to keep an eye on his paw.

    A bit of flying in the kitchen done then went to my voluntary job.

    grateful Hugs for you all.
    kazwookie Hugs.
    MOAM. Hugs
    Toots Thinking of you.

    greenbee and Soappie hope you are both ok.

    Hugs and spoons for those that need them.
