Right off to wash up!
I confess, I shall be using my chariot, but I shall most certainly be voting, although I think it's a question of choosing the "least bad" of the bunch, iyswim.
I seem to be having a groggy day again today, having been a bit better yesterday. Either I did a tad too much yesterday, or Dragon has been raiding my spoons!:D
*sigh* one of these days I'll learn to pace myself.....:whistle:
I did try and get the spare room done as well as the bedroom yesterday, while I had the duster and polish in my hand, as I know I shan't have time tomorrow.
So.... a wee listy update, so that I can delete and see what's left. I'm ashamed to say it won't all get done this week.

I am still sooooo tired! I must have completely emptied every last piece of cutlery, gone on through the crocks and lost half the cooking pots, never mind running out of spoons.
Note to others - don't try and ever copy my bank holiday weekend escapades in cleaning, OK?I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll0 - Wipe the skirtings, door and window frames in these rooms

Afternoon all
Voted just after 7 am (before DH went to work). I've dried a line full of washing and put it away, cut the back grass - more tidied really, it's hardly grown this week and the front doesn't need doing at all.
Cleaned the bathroom/toilet. My study is my computer desk in the hallway and that gets done whenever I do the living room.
Nearly caught up, hope everyone's OK.0 -
Good afternoon all
Cycling :TWay to go DD1:T I hope themagazine interview goes ok.
LW,Dragon and JoJo Spoons winging the way to you. Ive pinched DS, so there should be plenty to go around, as he doesnt seem to be using them.
DD has been the dentist and sound like her brace will be coming off in a couple of months so she is really happy.
Ive been slobbed out on the couch all morning as feeling bleugh again, so I'm wondering whether the weather is affecting how I feel but will be going to vote when OH gets home.

Getting ready to go away for a couple of days - it's a trip I have done before, so know where I'm going and what will happen. So why am I faffing and flapping and footering around instead of sorting what I need to do?
Need a list

Book taxi
Charge netbook - DONE
Charge ipod - DONE
Sort books/papers
Pack overnight bag - some bits will have to go in tomorrow morning
Just got myself in a total flap (could feel panic rising - I do not want to go there again:eek:) I had lost a sheet of paper with train times on it. I must have gone round the house three or four times looking in the same places - then realised I had the same info on an email so could just print it out - dozy mare!0 -
