    Morning everyone.
    Just decluttered the children to school.... who managed to declutter most of the contents of my purse on the way.
    Found out yesterday the car's cylinder head has gone, and it's got two cylinder heads. Cost of skimming them will be about £2000 (mostly labour) cost of getting a new engine about £2000 but they can't find an engine for it.. it's a Subaru. *sigh* At least the garage has given us a car to use in the meantime while they sort it all out, which means I can at least make my hospital appointments. Honestly. Just when you think you're getting out of the bit, something else comes along!
    Anyhoo. Enough moaning. I'm off to find my list.
    Hope everyone has a peaceful lovely day.

    I did not have nausea before -OMG I have it now! Ahh well that's a good thing :) never thought I'd feel so happy to feel this sick!
    DH has booked a private scan £100 :eek::eek::eek: - I'm thinking he'll save that much in tissues if it's reassuring and I stop blubbing ;) Thursday morning we'll know :)

    lil_me - hope your tumble wasnt too bad, new saying in our house is to go "bum over boob", anyway hope your ankle recovers.

    Piggers     is your OH having a general for the wisdom tooth?? I had a general for a back one, and the day I had it done I felt fantastic, came out of hospital went shopping - day after..... urrghhhhhh. Anyway if he's got a general it might not hit him straight away :o And Baby is the spit of it's dada. :D radio this morn says boots are selling DNA paternity test thingies - spose he could stump up the cash for it if he's really that daft?? (or the thought of it might just shut him up ;) )

    Natty68 - aww thanks hun :) you have some great critter pictures too :beer: I'm such a soppy over puppies (they're all puppies no matter how old) :)

    mumof2     I keep reading you've got your CBT and thinking it's the first part of your motorbike license (Compulsory Basic Training allows you to ride a 100cc motorcycle on a provisional license) I'm guessing it's not that? and I'm muddled?

    I'm thread skimming this morning so hugs, sticks and spoons to those who need them :)

    OK, remembered I am doc this am for a while when DS at nursery so got a crack on with the list while he ate brekkie (I ate mine while reading this earlier on ;)).
    Now looks like:
    Tuesday ~ Living room/family room or other reception room!
    Level One
    [STRIKE]Declutter and vacuum the floors![/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Wipe over fireplace (not currently using coal fire)[/STRIKE]
    Level Two
    Vacuum under furniture you can safely move! cannot due to back, but was done fairly recently!
    [STRIKE]Dust and deweb.. make sure you do light fittings and bulbs! do picture rails and coving too if you possess it![/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Clean the sofas.. vacuum under/between/backs cushions.. turn them over for even wear if possible.[/STRIKE]
    Level Three
    [STRIKE]Wipe over all the fluffy electricals.. don't electrocute yourself please!![/STRIKE]
    Wipe and water the plants none
    [STRIKE]Wipe grubby paintwork[/STRIKE]

    Wednesday ~ Master bedroom
    Level One
    [STRIKE]Declutter the floors and vacuum![/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Strip, wash and replace the bedding[/STRIKE]
    Level Two
    Clear the floordrobe/shoes/bags etc that are strewn around always tidy ;)
    Make sure any chairs in the room are visible! nothing on the bedroom chair!
    [STRIKE]Clear and tidy the top of a wardrobe/chest of drawers[/STRIKE]- will do both mine and DH drawer tops
    Level Three
    [STRIKE]Do your pillows need replacing?[/STRIKE] nope, quite new!
    HHI

    Own:
    [STRIKE]check finances[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]check ebay[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]check email[/STRIKE]
    Go to DOCS
    put cottage pie together
    put all dry washing away/iron- folded all foldables and got ironing pile ready!
    [STRIKE]WM[/STRIKE] on (sheets/DH work clothes and bits) and hang up

    Living room did not take long as it was fairly tidy (I spend a lot of time here and so it annoys me if it gets messy!). Not sure why Wed list was up early (not came across any reason) but it is great as tomorrow I will have more time to play with DS (non-nursery day!) seeing as a lot of it done today and might even do something extra!

    Off to walk down to nursery (if it is not raining/snowing/really windy I am trying to walk down and back in the morning, and then only take the car to pick him up just before lunch- that is half as much driving/turning ignition on etc, and good for us!)
