    S&S bathroom
    make bed
    put out rubbish
    take medication
    WM if needed
    ironing if needed
    check bank online
    tidy SR at bedtime
    tidy conservatory at bedtime
    tidy kitchen at bedtime
    deal with post
    declutter for at least 5 mins
    lay out clothes for next day
    charge hand control for bath lift


    dancemum (((hugs))) and good news about your Mum's visit - she must have been pleased to be out and about.
    vanilla - hope the visit went well at the new school and DH's lump removal was straightforward

    goodintentions what a shock for her family and all her friends - i hope she gets the appropriate help and support to get through things
    cazmanian - thats a lot of boxes!!!
    Dusty hope you survived Mother visit
    juliejim congratulations on being debt free:T:T thats a great achievement:D:beer:
    embb sorry you didnt get the house you wanted - - keep positive honey - something will turn up or happen for you - if you really dont want to move then ask about grants for the improvements - you might be entitled to full funding if you are on any benefits - every council is different - and what about the cavity wall insulation - that was free for a while - might still be - that would help with the heating bills - its so frustrating -you need to make a plan of action - do you know any friendly electricians that could check your wiring and see how bad it is - then you could go to the council and tell them its dangerous? ((((hugs)))) great news about the bed !!!:D
    pigpen you need to be taking echinea to combat these colds and bugs - you are bound to catch things from squeak! hope you feel better after food and a sleep - try to sort things out with OH before bed - 'never to go to bed on a cross word' I think is the saying. (((hugs))))

    I had written loads more replies and suggestions but decided I am sticking my oar in where its not always wanted so decided to delete my opinions.

    lots of frogs being gobbled which is great
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

    Got an e amil which tells me it's free listing this weekend so have been snapping away like a good un - I have LOADS to list...

    can't find my glasses

    got all wound up - parked on road so that 'the gentleman' over the road who parks his lorry outside my house couldn't - so he didn't - then had to nip out and he moved it

    then remembered Chris (HYDER) and thought of my mum's young neighbour J (who still needs prayers from believers...atheist that I am I believe in the power of positive thought which is, I suppose, praye rin another outfir) and Diva who left us too soom and mummyslittleboy...

    and I am just going to ignore it because in the great scheme of things who cares where he parks his wagon

    (now whether I'll still feel like that at 6:30 if he has to reverse out again and sets his reverse alarms off..)

    anyhoo off to label me piccies

    and emmb - fling the drapes this way - I'll wash 'em!

    Well I've just ordered a new certificate from the AAT - £12 - but seeing as I passed in 1999 and I have no idea where my cert is, it's money well spent.


    I have one of those :cool: but haven't paid my membership for at least 15 years and haven't worked for 9 years :o

    Garden is ready for the Dutch Barn arriving tomorrow. Hopefully whirley thing will be operational again soon.

    Is it just me that sits down to report on jobs done then can't remember what they were?

    Should have sent me yours then!:p I haven't paid my membership since I passed and I haven't been working in that line of business but I need it for a job I'm applying for and I know they'll ask to see it.

    I have 5 kids here and they're driving me mad already!
