Morning ladies,

Todays plan:

Do my list of 10
iron
change both beds
hoover downstairs
go to M&S to take stuff back

After I have done the above I will start on Mondays list

woah - cat being sick - off I go!

greenbee

Kazw and Jue - I'm sure at least one lot of my guests will help, but I do want to have most of it done before they get here so I can enjoy their company

Lamb is in the SC, pineapple has been juiced (it was in danger of walking out on its own it was so ripe), DW emptied and breakfast made and eaten. Next task is washing up, cleaning the DW filters and starting to refill the DW.

While that's going on I can cook the bulging wheat for the tabbouleh and then have a break before making the cake. After that it should just be a case of chopping a few bits of veg for salad (which i can always do once people are here) and refilling the DW.

Kazw - well done on the weight loss

Frog list

1. Ask neighbour for chimney sweep details and book
2. Fill charity bag for Wednesday
3. Pick tree surgeon to ring and book site visit
4. Review bathroom quotes, respond with any changes
5. Decide on bathroom colour scheme and find tiles
6. Call electrician re. updated quote for bathroom electrics and book work
7. Identify 3 solar PV suppliers to call for quotes
8. Choose bathroom lights
9. Tax return
10. Sort shoes

Well its a start... Lots more where tho came from, which strangely I thought I'd get done last week...

Hopefully my cousins will bring the sunshine with them as it's not nice outside right now...

Happy Birthday for you MOJ2 - hope you had a lovely day
Juliejim - there is a garden centre near here that is owned by the same people, which also has a Lakeland just opened so we went on Saturday. It would be a good place for a meet up though, about an hour for me.
Greenbee - isnt it hard to let other people do things?
mummyto5 - sounds awful, I hope they get it under control soon

Must go and find my list of ten again, but I did the shower head yesterday so I have eaten my first frog.

I am busy reading Housework Blues in the hope it re-energises my attitude. So far it has made me see that I have really cut out my dailies other then the DW/WM routine and that things are suffering as a result.

Dusty- I like your five rooms focus and I think I will copy you as I have a tendancy to just do the kitchen and then run out of time. Today I want to focus on our bedroom whilst OH is about to make sure the boys are not destroying downstairs. It has been a dumping ground for ages, and is far from the escape it should be.

I am going to make another cup of tea, and get the washing into the TD. I want to clear the washing basket today as well.

Have a good day everyone.

Typical...the one day we plan on taking Littlies out for the day and its pouring with rain...who knows what we will do now...OH still in bed so DW on and WM x1 on.

If we do still go out I will be leaving lists of jobs for the Teens..mwahhaha xx

fedupandskint

Ok, I had 3 glasses of wine last night, the most in ages and guess how I feel this morning? Not that great! Think I'll take the dog for a walk in the rain to come round a bit

Then sort out some sort of list to do

juliejim

Anyone joining me for a HHC @ 9.15?
