After discovering Henry had a filter, lol, I gently hand washed it and then decided to chuck it in the WM at 30* on a daily wash. Came out fine and is now sitting in the sun drying off.

It has?!?!? Where did you find that info ... glad it is looking nice

piggers remember to pack some extra nibbles for yourself - remember what happened before - you were starving - cant have that happening again:eek:

Nibbles?!!! Are you kidding?

I have frozen egg fried rice, tins of soup, cup-a-soups, my own ham!! (they buy smoked and I don't like it.. it repeats!) biscuits.. they NEVER have biscuits! and satsumas, I may end up with a pizza or 3 as well yet.. I thought about fish fingers and sausages but I don't know where the grill is.. or if they have one.. and I fully intend scrubbing out their microwave before cooking my rice.. it looks like it has never been cleaned! :eek:

It feels VERY childish but I have pretty much given up caring!

Why do some little jobs take longer than you think? I've done the majority of the hand stitching (need to find the leggings belonging to DD which need repairing - they're somewhere in the ironing pile) and ironed DDs Brownie uniform and the rest is sitting there laughing at me. I'll do some/all of it when I get back from picking DD up in about 10 min.

This week:
Colour my hair
Dye DD's jeans
Write Toots list :eek: - this weeks one is posted below, going to do a long term one as well
Ironing until its gone
Deal with @pproved f00d order when it arrives

Wed -
Thur - Put order in
Fri - Take DD to her dads?
Sat/Sun - depends on DD going away or not.

Toots list:

• Computer based:

• 1. Sync phone (sort out music on it so I don't have multiple versions of the same song!)
  2. Copy CD cover for DDs exam cd so she knows what track is which
  3. Change SO online for rent
     
  4. Update SO/DD on finance spreadsheet & update purchases
• Kitchen
  1. De-mold ceiling - we'll be getting a new roof soon now the workman knows that I was right, the mold on the ceiling in the kitchen does correspond to the bald /cracked patches on the flat felt roof :D
  2. Clean out undersink cupboard
  3. Inventory food/cleaning supplies
     
  4. Try making a cake in the BM
     
• Livingroom
  1. Shorten both pairs of curtains
  2. Clean the floor (including the hall) properly
  3. Clean rug
  4. Put down/patch together new anti-slip mats (I'm sick of the rug travelling as its bigger than my old one so the non-slip mat under it isn't big enough)
     
• Bathroom
  1. Scrub floor properly
  2. Empty/replace de-humidifier
• Bedrooms
  1. Sort through L's clothes and get rid of worn/too small stuff while she's not here to stop me
  2. Clear out under my bed, sort & replace
• Sewing jobs:
  1. DD's trousers x 5 (putting elastic on the inside of the waist band to bring them in - she's tall, hippy and thin so they all gape at the back which is highly embarrasing for her when she sits down. )
     
  2. Leggings - stitch seam
     
  3. Top - shorten straps
  4. Curtains x 2
• Outside
  1. Clean windows
  2. Sweep front (fix brush first - head keeps coming off it :mad:)
  3. Weed/clear flowerbeds (cutting back tulips etc which have now gone yellow) - done 15 min out there and made some progress
     
• Work
  1. Accounts - sort out breakdown
     
  2. Tax return - read letter properly & register
     
  3. Check orders
     
  4. Check for any returns
  5. Fliers for new books (check addresses)
  6. Make contact cards for all customers so I have their details to hand
     
  7. Put contacts into phone (so I know who is texting me )
     
  8. Organise Calender (marking on dates and trying to work out a timetable to maximise my income )
     
• Paperwork
  1. Tax credits renewal form
  2. Phone up about BTWB evidence - I'd rather not post them 4 x 8 sheets of paper as evidence if I can send less:eek:
  3. Filing

Monday - Kitchen and dining room
Level One
Level Two
Wipe and replace small appliances
Wash windows
Level Three
Wipe the table and chairs... clean cloth if necessary
Mop the floor
Degunge the fridge!

Extras

1. Thoroughly clean the cupboard under the sink!
2. Run the WM through a clean cycle

Tuesday - Bathroom and study!!
Level One
Level Two
Vacuum floors
Level Three
Scrub the bath, basins and loos
Scrub down the tiles
Wash any bath mats
Extras

1. Clean the windows and mirrors
2. defrag the pc

Time to go and collect DD then I can put my pjs on, and make a start on the ironing!

I don't understand.. surely you just get both???? They are shoes?!

Valli

If they get reduced any further I probably will *snigger*

Inline roller skates~~ which are the best ones / type/ what should you look for when buying them, do any of your kids have a pair / how did they get on with them/ what is the upper age for them?? and are they good exercise / or just something to clutter the garage up?

Thank you

Flying wise

Hoovered my main hoover filter with the car hoover, it that makes sense, and in the main hoover the suckion is so much better!
