    Washing out onthe line, and it is lovely and sunny, hopefully it will be dry when I get home to night.

    Now going to clean my office, (dust, hoover, polish and put the rubbish out!)

    LW~~ I guess he did get to work on time, where he works it is NOT good to be late at all, he will tell me tonight when he gets back, but no doubt he met a flock of wandering sheep on the road on the way!!

    Mine sends me a text when he gets to work; if I don't hear from him, I'm totally convinced that he's lying injured in a ditch somewhere.:( He also checks on me at least twice a day, bless him.:A Lol @ wandering sheep - Mr LW used to get held up by a herd of cows sometimes when he worked in Rugby - one time he texted and wanted to say "no cows this morning" but he forgot he had predictive text switched on and it came through as "on boys this morning"!:eek::D:D:D:D I didn't let him live it down for weeks!:rotfl:

    Level Three

    Done
    Extras

    1. Wipe any sticky handprints and dirty marks off walls and doors Done
    2. Wipe down the paintwork & radiators Done all I can get to
    All done.

    I'm now going to attempt something that is, for me, very scary. I'm going to attempt HH of light gardening.

    I'll be in the back garden,which is completely enclosed by a 6-foot fence with a padlocked gate, but nevertheless, it's going to be scary to be out there on my own.

    Wish me luck!:o

    Afternoon/evening all

    Got home from work and flew through the house so everywhere nice and tidy. Kids room:eek:, did a quick 20 min tidy but I think it will be an easter holiday task. Got bunkbeds being delivered next weekend so whole room needs to be rejigged.

    I have opened a can a cider so my weekend has begun:cool: - littles off to Nannies this weekend so they were collected after school, as mad as they drive me a time I do miss them being here.

    Curry on the go (was on my meal plan nearly changed it to chicken salad but now its cooking it smells yummy and am looking forward to it).

    Need to have a busy weekend, lots of jobs to do just hope I get the motivation to crack on with it:D
