  • Morning all

    Hugs and spoons to any that need or want them this morning. I hope all the LO's that have been unwell recently are on the mend.

    Well OH is off here today and he is already driving me insane as Dogbot can not go out and I can not go out without OH to tranport me, he has attached himself to my side like a limpet and is getting in my way. So I have sent him off to go for a bike ride. Why at this time does the William Morris Quote "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful”, come to mind, :rotfl::rotfl:

    Anyway this morning WM and TD are on. OH has half sorted his floordrobe after I threatened to do a binbag dance if he didnt get it sorted.

    As I did most of the days cleaning early this morning all that I needed to do was put the hoover over all the rooms and open some windows to let the house air, which I have done. So all there is left for me to do this morning is HHI, which I'll do one the load in the TD is finnished.
    "Let your boat of life be light, pack only what you need- A homely home and simple pleasures,one or two friends worth the name, someone to love and someone who loves you, a cat, a dog, a pipe or two enough to eat, enough to wear and a little more than enough to drink, as thirst is a dangerous thing" Jerome k. Jerome
  • I'm finishing my HHC a little early as I want to fit in a run before picking up LO's from school (at 1pm). Changed DD sheets, loaded wm, folded and put away dried bedsheets, changed into running gear, tidied childrens rooms x 3, hoovered kitchen and hall rug, one set of stairs, living room and master bedroom.

    Wow, got a lot done :D Off for run now, catch up with you all later x

    hello all,
    I have been awol this week on account of being a little under the weather. Despite not logging in, i have been trying to keep up with basic leel 1 type things so as not to find myself inundated witht chores the minute i start to feel a little better. have kept my sink shiny, worktops clear, floors swept (but hardly any vacuuming or mopping done) and actaully got round to putting away FIVE baskets of laundry which has not brought me as close as i can get to being up to date. :)

    however, I was being quite literal about level one as that is ALL i have done. i think i only S&S the bathroom once. :( however, the bathroom doesn't actually take very long to do do a deep clean when required so i am not letting myslef feel bad about it. after all, i have been under the weather and dh has been working quite few nights striaght after a day shift so i have pretty much been on my own as well.
    hope everyone is FLYing this week and looking forward to next. :)
    Proud to be Member of BSC #92
    Hoping to get debt free again :wall:

    DD back to school now; she woke up bright as a button this morning and you'd never believe she was so bad yesterday! Thank the fact it's Comic Relief definitely helped her - she actually asked to go to school ;)!

    Just having lunch with DS and then do the few things on my list. Oh yes, and got to do all my dailies as haven't even made the beds yet due to being up helping at pre-school from 9-12 :eek:!
