    * Checked the 'live capture' mouse trap in the g/house for a visitor, but found that the bait (peanut flapjack) was still there

    Try chocolate.

    Day lost to hospital incompetence plus at least a tenner of diesel and parking and probably the same again in wasted paid for childcare. Bustards.

    Did get the garage doors fixed, though.:j

    My MIL is visitng from Thursday to Sunday so I really need to get this house sorted before she arrives. Just wish the baby would let me get a bit more done!


    Must go and wash up the dishes before Oh comes home.

    OK Monday levels 1 & 2 nailed! I was supposed to go on to sorting out the mess in the office/study....nope - instead I've pulled out my material stash! However, I did throw out loads of bits of fabric too small to be of further use. Think I'd thought I might one day use them for patchwork - but I know I won't really! Found loads of patterns too, so no more excuses for not sewing anything!
    It was a useful task, honestly! (And so much more fun that trying to tame the paperwork!)
    Resolution:
    Think twice before spending anything!
  • Its soo stressful being at home, much harder than teaching all week. Clever dog did a poo on her walkies, stupid dog then walked in it and had to have her feet baby wiped.
