    nixie no probs with the sewing. Hope you are more successful than me. The last pair of curtains took me 13 months :rotfl::rotfl:

    sammiell I freeze the dough balls ;) then you can have fresh baked when ever you want to ;)

    Okay in my HHC I:
    Removed all dog related gibble from the floor.
    Tidied round DH who's wfh today.
    Assisted with DIY washingline assembly - it's not going well, I darent ask.
    Dusted.
    Filled the dish washer.
    hoovered the porch
    hoovered the lounge
    hoovered the stairs :eek:
    de-webbed.
    also hoovered the laptop and the TV vents. (hoovered the tumble dryer the other day, something wrong with me)
    also had a bit of a run round in the kitchen :)
    Cuppa tea time :)

    ETA: I also took the rug outside for airing.
    and hoovered and am airing the dog bed / duvet. Have you ever tried to hoover a duvet LOL - you have to kinda stand on it and do a little jig so it doesnt get sucked up the hoover LOL

    Doing quite well with my timetable - am 10 minutes behind but instead of taking the dog for a walk, coming home and then going to get DS, am instead going to take Pip with me to a place close to nursery, walk her and then jump in the car so DS will have a lovely surprise - he loves it when Pip 'comes to get him'! Done my typing (big job; over 2 hours) and here's the rest of my list:

    [STRIKE]2.30 Walk Pip
    3.30 Go to pick up DS from nursery (check DS to wear Pjs to nursery on Weds)
    4.30 Fetch DD from singing club at school[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]5.00 DD piano lesson
    5.45 Tea
    6.30 Start to get kids ready for bed etc
    7.00 Becky to babysit
    7.15 Lent Group [/STRIKE]
    Warfarin – 7mg

    Oh, got great news as been signed off by CBT counsellor cos I'm doing so well :j:j.

    Hugs to all, GTG xx
