    I didn't think you could fill it in till after the 27th March as you don't know who is in your house on that night, or have I misunderstood this?

    You can fill it in if you know or you can fill it in and not submit it if your unsure. I just wanted to get it out of the way so I don't forget!

    I never have visitors so I know who will be here.

    This is what the Census 2011 website says

    "As soon as you receive your paper questionnaire, you will be able to complete the online questionnaire. Please remember that your completed questionnaire should accurately describe your household and visitors on census night, Sunday 27 March."

    and you can save and return later to complete your responses if you aren't sure who will be in your house on the 27th. HTH ;)

    Good luck with the passport interview tomorrow...


    Today has almost been wasted as far as flying is concerned...

    OH had a follow-up appt for the ophthalmic people he saw a week or so ago, as an emergency.

    So today they tell us he has to have emergency surgery on his eye tomorrow morning at 9am...

    It's a good job all my LOs aren't any more...finding a sitter could be a nightmare.

    So I going to pack an overnight bag, cos they say he won't need one...(and I know he's awkward)...and I'll 'see' you guys sometime soon...:wave:

    Thats what I thought as well, but if I were in your shoes I wouldnt be filling it in on the grounds of principles

    Luckily? ours is being done by our General Register Office rather than a US defence company;)

  • Good grief you lot get a lot done. Awesome!

    Managed to do the bedlinen & bedroom floor tidy - mostly cos floor was inexplicably not too bad to start with. Pankakes for dinner tonight will mean I've got right through Level 1 - was so pleased to realise this - then saw some of you have got to Wednesday already :eek:

    I may not be ready for this thread!

    Easter plan is an Ostara plan for us :) Need to find some spring foods to eat :) Poopydawgs already have special doggy eastereggs :) cos I'm a soft touch :rotfl:
    And I need to design the cake. DH wants chicks on it (fluffy type, not the type in bikini's) will have to make trip into town for coloured icing. I'm thinking cover it with fondant - add some tylo to the yellow and try and mould them with chocolate crispy nests and mini eggs?
    Ooh, you're much more artistic than I am!:o Tbh, though, I just don't have the energy to do anything "artistic", I just work appropriate food into our meal plan. There's only the 2 of us in any case, so I don't need to make anything "extra" as such.:o

    I've made a bit of an inroad into tomorrow's list - seemed logical to do it at the same time as clearing up after today's baking.

    Wednesday ~ Kitchen and Dining room
    Level One
    Sweep and mop floor Done by Mr LW:A
    Clear and wipe worksurfaces Done
    Level Two
    Wipe units and appliances..
    Empty and wash out bins Done Monday night (bin day Tuesday)
    Clear and wipe table.. clean cloth! Done (we don't use a cloth)
    Level Three
    Scrub manky marks off walls and tiles
    Empty and clean out food cupboards.. make inventory so you know what you don't need to buy!! Inventory already exists, on Excel
    Clear window sills of gibble! Done

    Extras
    1. Binbag dance
    2. HHI
    3. Clean out fridge Done Saturday (before F&V run)
    4. Wipe over oven and hob! Hob wiped

    Same here - the only overnight visitors we have are of the canine persuasion!:rotfl:
