Well. Will have to mop and hoover kitchen and living room tomorrow. Just had a slight accident while cutting beast's paws.

Blood all over kitchen floor, living room dotted with claw and fur. Joy. Isn't it just as well DH is a surgeon.

Need to groom him tomorrow - local dog show on Saturday. We're trying for the cute facto. Hopefully we can remove the bright pink sticky bandage by then :rotfl:

Now I've learned from you guys I have put the washing machine through its first ever clean cycle. I have not gone in search of the filter as I just didn't have time. However, have sparked DH's interest so may get him to do it at the weekend.:)

Also today had 2.5 hour playdate
Washed DD's bedding
Got DD to have a good sort through her mountain of books to put on new units installed by DH yesterday.
Listing 5 items on eBay took me an hour - why?
Also, does anyone else find the Boots website slow? :eek:

Ooh dancemum - I would be tamping! Hope you're all ok hunny - don't hesitate to call the police mind, at the very least it's harrassment.
Umm - been naughty by catching up with last night's BGT and oh so tempted to just sit down and watch tonight's now. I'm getting up at 5 in the morning with DS2 when he does his paper round anyway - I don't have to because he gets up himself I just like to so that I can get on So - do I be good and get on or be naughty, relax and carry on in the morning?

No news here about Olympic tickets either

my transaction still isn't showing (just the imbalance between credit limit and available balance) I only know through phoning the cc issuer. Fingers crossed for you.

Dancemum hope you are all ok

love of Toots and LL

I've done well with the flying, sorting but still loads to do. I'll start by cleaning the LR tomorrow as that room has been decluttered and then move on to decluttering the family room later in the day.

Piggers -thanks for the frog lists, I quite like somebody else choosing which ones to do - I've managed one today but I'll do the other one first tomorrow - too tired to concentrate now - might do another instead

Evening All

Hiya Frodders :hello: and Kazm :wave:

First day back on the wagon, the house looks SO much better. Thanks Piggers

Where's my lovely Toots? *looks round*

Not sure how I'm going to manage the whole lists/work/children/life balance, but given how bad things had got, it's gotta be done.

I've finished all of my maths resources for the first week back. :j:beer: Just the literacy to do now, and if I have some spare energy, time and motivation, I may try to do another week's worth of maths planning to get ahead.

Moon has just put the sheets on the bed, as my back is still hurting when I twist or bend over.

Think the cat has been rolling in the grass again, as my eyes have really flared up since touching him (I expect Moon is covered in grass pollen too from cutting the lawns) - I've dosed up on antihistamine tablet and eye drops in my now bright red and swollen eyes.
