    Anyone for a HHC 4.30-5pm ?

    snap!

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Hi everyone,
    I have another question for all you organised people – where do you store your library books? We visit the library regularly – normally once a week – but I’m not sure the bookshelf is the best place for the books as I sometimes end up with fines for books I’ve forgotten we’ve borrowed. We’re doing the book crawl for my daughter too. She gets a certificate for every four visits to the library – how sad am I – she’s 21 weeks old she doesn’t know what’s happening!
    I'm not an organised person, but the library books sit on a shelf in the living room in a set of shelves that is reserved for crafts/DVDs/board games, so they don't get mixed in with the other books.

    Also, my kitchen surfaces (including vertical) are now wiped, floor swept and mopped:). Easy as we don't have a dining room.

    Toots, your list seriously wears me out just looking at it!

    MOAM, Dancemum and Mamaninie how did you get on?

    I managed to:
    * vacuum right through (even did the front porch)
    * swept the garden path
    * cleaned the light bulbs and light shade (it was minging I have to say)

    Doesn't sound a lot really does it. I was going to clean out the chooks too, but DS fell over so I obviously had to look after him; he soon cheered up after whizzzing up and down his slide - hence me sweeping the garden path!

    Here's what I still have left to do:
    Monday ~ Kitchen and Dining room
    Level One

    Mop floor - will do once kids in bed
    Extras
    2. HHI - try to do this evening

    Monday
    Read pages ready for talk with Sarah on Tuesday (leaflet on controlling thoughts)
    2 x CO for Paul
    Warfarin – 8mg
    Flymarkeeteer: £168 and counting

    Well done Mumof2

    I made cup of tea, made spag bol for DH & DS1, took DS2 dinner from oven, washed up several times, roped in DS1 and he took bin bag to black dustbin & hoovered all downstairs, packed his pe kit & swim bag :T He doesn't usually do anything in fact his theme song is "The boy does nothing" so I think flying is rubbing off on the family.
    I also played cat hokey cokey and she also played knock on the door and run so I have opened a window for her to please herself.

    Sending DH to do parent's evening duty for DS2
