    3. checked ebay

    I plan to:
    1. WM on
    2. Hang up clothes
    3. Attempt some ironing
    4. Make chilli.

    Not had time to read whole thread so hugs to those who need.

    Morning all,

    DW on, WM on, although it is drizzling here, so the rads may be decorated later. :rotfl:

    Off to find my Listy and catch-up read.

    Morning all.

    Just eaten breakfast and have happy little ones because it's the KS1 disco tonight. How I get them there and DS2 to football training at the same time is beyond me at this time of the morning.

    Last night's FB messages brought my attention to an Anne $ummer$ party tomorrow night - Do you need any new knicks Valli:rotfl:

    Shopping for friend's new top this morning then I will tackle my list this afternoon.

    Hope everyone has a good day x

  • Bathroom - can't start yet - peeps still sleeping!

    DD2 dispatched to school, washing up done. DS's work uniform soaked overnight and is now in a hot wash with some soda crystals.

    Washing done last night is all dry ( it was so worth waiting up until it had finished, despite a cough and a sore throat!), so will crack on with some ironing...... I feel a lot better than i thought I would........

    Hugs and spoons to all who need.....

    Morning All

    Flying commences in 5 minutes.
    I can't believe how grotty the master bedroom was--looking lovely now though.
    Todays list looks like a nice gentle one, but Friday's one is a real challenge!!!!!
    DS room is virtually a no go zone due to obstacle course/major clutter on floor. Think i will need the half hour rest in the middle!!!
