Evening all
I'm posting today's list, because (just for once) I haven't done too bad with it.
DH did the ironing and DS2 the hotspot (stairs). :T :A
I made the fish pie base tonight (to use up the fish), which just needs to cool now, but the cake will have to wait until tomorrow. I went to the farm and got the eggs, though. I'm hoping it's the bathroom tomorrow - if not, I may have to swap things round, as I'm planning on going to work for a few hours.

ah well diet blown (large amount of vino (well 2 glasses is a lot for me LOL) but it is my b'day
Have re arranged the bedroom and moved the bed (did it a while ago and put bed under window but OH didn't like it -so back it went) wasnt too bad as there was no where near as much muck under it as last time
Large washing pile to do tomorrow but going in to work for a bit, forecast this week not so good so I'll be popping across to get a few jobs done and out of the way
Off to bed in a mo!!
Night all and thanks for the b'day wishes- xxxxxxGo hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last0 -
Visit to Mr T to get Polyfilla cost £50 :mad: It is stuff that is needed.
Checked up on Parents, decluttered bag of old toner cartridges to school (been forgetting for over a year), dailies done, bathroom emulsioned & 2nd coat of gloss nearly finished. New mirror/shelf put up by DH whilst I took DS2 to his 1st school disco (Mirror looks damaged DH said it was like that but I suspect it wasn't). Hopefully bathroom should be finished tomorrow then probably need plan decorating Master Bedroom, kitchen & LR chimney wall.
I have to wait in tomorrow for my freezer to be fixed. :cool:
Hugs to those in need especially LL
Bedtime now I think
Night night xx0 -
Morning All
No kids this morning so I want to get on with the LR and have a bath. Last load of washing ready to go in the WM and then I may strip the bed otherwise I'll leave it until tomorrow.
Have a good day all
