    laundry - still progressing slowly
    [STRIKE]tea[/STRIKE]
    homework with DS2
    school work - one major task done, planning later
    [STRIKE]talk to DS1 about his commitments for this week[/STRIKE]
    small list of errands - done some
    be in bed by midnight
    [STRIKE]do something fun with DS2[/STRIKE]
    get bags/chlothes ready for tomorrow
    clear the space behind the dryer in the kitchen so I can get ddout through the back door - non-essential, will have to wait

    Did a quick run to Mr A's for plastic recycling, picking up a couple of things and exchanging a faulty teapot (none in stock :(). Then took DS2 to see his Nan and discuss his birthday tea. We're not going to go out for a meal, but I've asked her if we can have tea at her's with BIL, SIL and their DD. It means that nobody is rushing round like mad after work, I don't have to worry about finding time to make the house representable (impossible given everything else I've got going on) and MIL has time during the day to get things ready. :D
