    Dusty - forgot that work is on Tuesday. I'm sure I'll be fine by then, but I ha e to at least do my calls. Its our busiest time of year, and it isn't fair on either clients or colleagues if I don't at least try. If I want more time off I'll have to see my GP for a sick note. If I can manage the calls (half a day each day) I can make up the rest of the work later.


    Kaz - enjoy your day... Hope the fact that you're putting make up on on a Sunday means it's something nice!

    Morning all

    Well done G&B. That's great news!

    I slept surprisingly well (given that the mattress felt very bumpy when I first laid down), but DS2 woke me just after 8am. Not sure what we're going to do today, as everywhere will be very busy until after the weekend. I've not brought enough clothes either, so will have to think about a plan. I don't have a lot that fit, anyway, so I may have to have a look on the market.

    Breakfast next, I think. Hope you all have a great Sunday. x

    1. Clean rabbits out
    2. get rubbish out of car (had a bag of gone orf apples in there for an age :o )
    3. clean car
    4. get account books out (ready to start :eek: )
    5. find petrol receipts ^^

    can't think of anything else I've been putting off.......will have a think.

    Gonna open the curtains now, go and ee if the washing I hung out last night is dry and have a lookee about for job inspiration.

    ciao for now x

    Hi embb - the cleaner I got was a Mr T own Bathroom spray, and I got their new own-brand antibac wipes as they had lots of cleaning products on 2 for £2. The wipes seem to have cleaned the kitchen worktop really well - Moon used them this morning to wipe it down, although the tea-stains haven't completely gone. Think this may have been because he didn't scrub very hard though. ;)

    Well I suppose I'd better make my list of 10 for Sunday. Not sure that they will take 5-10 minutes though - will have to try to think small. I do want to do some of my planning so that it is out of the way too. Will make that into HHCs though I think. Any other teachers want to do a HHP(planning) today?

    1. Descale the showerhead.
    2. Clean the bath.
    3. Descale the sink.
    4. Dust and deweb hall window and sill
    5. Mop bathroom floor
    6. Mop kitchen floor
    7. Sort through my work bag
    8. Sort through my handbag
    9. Clean the windowframes
    10. Go through purse and get rid of dead vouchers and old receipts

    ETA: For those of you who weren't around when we got married, here is a link to our wedding photos if you wanted a nosy.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    I passed all my exams!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well done :beer: :j All deserved :D


    Pigpen - don't overdo things if you think you will regret it later :)

    I haven't been doing too well on the flying front :o
    I was out most of yesterday (art in the morning, then Matalan & visiting tne MIL in the afternoon). Some scumbag drove into my car while parked at Matalan :mad::mad: I now have a red scratch and dent ALL the way down the drivers side!! There is NO WAY they didn't know! No sign of them when we got back to the car :( The staff checked the CCTV, but they couldn't see anything because the camara is behind a tree!! :huh:

    My BIL, his wife & 2 kids are coming today, to watch the Airshow & see DD (was her birthday in the week). I suggested we do Spag Bol for later, as it can sit on the slow cooker, is easy & cheap. DH has now informed me that his mum & sister are also coming. SIL doesn't eat red meat, so we now have to find her an alternative dinner. So much for easy!!

    I need to run the hoover over & tidy round a bit. It's not too bad, and will look a lot worse by the time they go, so I am not putting too much effort in (3 yo nephew knows where ALL the toys are :rotfl:)
    DH has walked the dog, and I think is off with DS soon to 'deposit on the shed!' (as DS keeps referring to it!) :j He is not fussed about the airshow, so will probably stay here & get the dinner on :D

    I need to DO something now. Hugs & spoons to those that need them :)
