Hi all

Not really been doing any flying today as I got back from my mums late then had a friend over for coffee but luckily i done a few bits off the list yesterday(without seeing it lol) before picking my other friend up to come for coffee

Tuesday ~ Living room, reception rooms and hallway
Level One
[STRIKE] Declutter and vacuum floors[/STRIKE]
Wash any soft furnishings and[STRIKE] plump pillows and fluff throws[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE] Check smoke alarms!!!![/STRIKE]Done every time i cook:rotfl:
Level Two
[STRIKE] Vacuum under sofa cushions and wipe away any gungy marks[/STRIKE]
Tidy coats, bags and shoes They are tidy rom 2 weeks ago when I needed to clear it or DD's B/day party :T
Vacuum under furniture you can safely move
Level Three
Tidy understair/hall cupboard No Cupboard in my hall
[STRIKE] Dust and deweb[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Polish glass and metals[/STRIKE] Done the tv but didnt dare touch the mirror as its streak free (for once) from the last time I done it and mantel No mantle
Extras

1. Wash windows and curtains No curtains and cant do windows to save my life - everytime the sun shines I see how bad I am at this
   
2. Clean out fire..arrange for chimneys to be swept.. every 6 months if you burn wood and smokey fuel! Woooo no fire
   
3. [STRIKE]Wipe doors and skirtings[/STRIKE]
4. [STRIKE]Catch up on any important phone calls [/STRIKE] Done over the last two days but am a phoneaholic so everyday I'm 'catching up on important calls' :rotfl:
   
5. [STRIKE]update finances spreadsheets[/STRIKE] I have been keeping a spending diary since mid Jan so my finances file is all up to date

When I look at it it doesnt seem too bad since I haven't been here to do it lol.
Tomorrow I think I will:
Do the list
Have coffee with my friend
Bake some cakes with dd
& start my 'flying file' ( I started a flying diary yesterday as I found writing the joblist at the beg. of last week really helped)
Just remembered I aslo need to iron - urrrgggghhh (havent done it for over a week now apart from HHI on Saturday am)

I'm off to watch Shameless now whilst I declutter a bottle of wine (I love thinking of this as decluttering)

Have a good night everyone.

I had to be dressed to collect grubs from school.. other than that I went to bed in a vest top and some pants, as well as scaring small children I would have been chilly.. I had to put something on.. and my squashed frog green dead jumper also has a shiny coating of thick slimy green mucus from a certain small snotmonster!

How is she today?

gross!!

The nose isn't runny any more it just oozes and glows in the dark but she seems to be on the mend, she even smiled today.. and laughed twice. Her temp is almost back to normal just need the nose to dry up.. the 6 months of drooling isn't any better though. Her poor bottom is rather sore but sudocrem is hilarious so she doesn't mind too much.

And she ate all her food today so things have improved.

Evening all,

Thank you for all the kind comments on last weeks thread re FIL, we have everything arranged for the funeral which will be on Friday, OH seems fine but a bit moody and thoughtful, girls are handling things ok but very much want to talk about death and what happens we have had some interesting questions to answer.

On a brighter side I had an interview last week at Dundee Uni for the teaching course that I want and have had an email today offering me an unconditional place - its been 4yrs of hard slog with the OU to get this far so feeling very please with myself.

On a flying front kitchen, LR and bathroom have been S&S'd.

Vanilla - big (((hugs)))) for you as usual lots of good advice here I hope you manage to get things sorted for yourself and your DD.

It may seem silly but have you asked if there was anything they would like that was FIL's? My sis asked for my grans slippers! Glad all is 'ok' though.. hugs for everyone

Evening ladies, day 2 of flying with you all and I have actually done NOTHING all day, shocking!! My DS (6) is still really poorly and was coughing all night, I have spent the day cuddling with him, worrying about him, forcing him fluids, helping him blow his nose and clearing up sick. If there was a list for that I would be 'striking' them all! Will give him to Thurs and if hes no better will get him to the docs as will be a week then with not a lot of food and hardly any sleep. Anyway I am hoping to potter about tomorrow and see what happens. xxx

This helped my children when my Mum died...
