    Done my typing and am now going to do the ironing I didn't do this afternoon. I have a funny feeling the floor is going to have to be mopped tomorrow (can't get in the kitchen as DH is in there chatting to someone) .... well that's my excuse ;)

    Evening

    Dw
    WM x 1
    TD x 1
    Shoe shopping - I detest that chore
    Helped DD with homework
    Decided to tell DS's teacher that as he is leaving at the end of next week we won't be doing anymore homework!!
    Cut out the side off a huge box and very tenderly transferred DD's jigsaw on to it so that it can be moved off the DR table so we can eat!!
    Sorted out school bags and lunch boxes
    Done online Census for Mum
    Put a "wanted" on freecycle for a bike for DS - his is too small now and he needs 1 with gears but the cheapest I can find is £50 and thats too much for a child who is growing far too quickly [aged 8 and in size 4 shoes, gulp]

    This clock business has knackered me and the fact that I was rough last night, got a cold but its gunking up my head and I couldn't sleep so now I'm debating whether to go to bed or chill in front of the tv or make a cake - weird choices

    Have a good evening everyone

    PS Hi Boddy

    Hi everyone,
    I've been busy doing lots of decluttering and little DIY jobs the last couple of weeks, since we decided we'd like to move, so the other flying has slipped a bit. I'll be back with you all and the lists tomorrow, I hope. :)

    In my HHc

    I did yet more washing up, dusted/sorted kitchen kids' craft shelf, decluttered crayons/ feltips and an unused playdoh set.

    Going to do a carrier bag dance soon collecting for tombola prizes for a friend.

    Jobs done, apart from the Census which I am going to do online now.

    Toots I am slowly making changes, DS1 is receptive and helpful, he just needs to learn do things my way ;)

  • Good Evening all

    LW Dogbot loved his walk and although it was wasnt as long as normal he was completely poop when he came home.

    Need More Help We also use a wages system here DD and DS have set tasks. Some as simple as remembering to turn the light off when they leave a room. If these arent done then they loose a portion of their money, this is on a sliding scale depending on what task they haven't done.

    Toots Census form done online

    Scarlettes Mum I keep my library books on a specially dedicated shelf on the book case and record return date in my diary. May be getting a diary to use as a way of combining your cleaning list and keeping a record of other task/appointments etc.

    Ive been out of the house today:j only to sit and have a coffee in a cafe while OH was at the gym but I really enjoyed the change of scenery.

    Also OH cookde dinner and the kids did the cleaning, although when I went in the kitchen later to make a drink their was tomatoe sauce all up my newley cleaned tiled wall:naughty::wall:, so all got a telling off and I dont think they will be making that mistake again:rotfl::rotfl:

    Hugs/spoons to all who want/need them
