I've not been getting on with my frogs list really
I'm back at uni tomorrow to shift all my stuff from my halls to my new flat. Thankfully I've got my OH and brother to help because I'm apparently rubbish enough at stairs without carrying heavy boxes
I slipped down a step today as I was carrying some books, they went everywhere but thankfully I only slid down one step
I get to use my phone as a sat nav today so hopefully we won't get horribly lost like last time we drove
Ahh, and it's 5am and I just woke up. I hate my sleeping pattern being ruined in this direction. Stuff happens until 2am, but from about then nothing happens til at least 8am!

LL~ good luck for today
XXJoXX~ are you sure your spread sheet is adding up correctly, if it was right, and now seems not to be, maybe some of the formulas (sp) have altered and need correcting, or have you removed some lines and thus altered the end totals? if you want me to have a look at it for you, send me a pm.

My ears feel 'odd' today, so goodness knows what is up with them, if they dont feel better by lunchtime, I'm ringing the dr's, as they seems 'deafer' at the moment.

Morning all! Is it bad that i'm eating cake for breakfast??? It's going to be one of those days!
I proper, proper, proper hate cleaning the bathrooms. Anyone want to come do it for me? Bring your ironing and i'll do that while you clean!
Mind you, a management training lady once did a course at work on time management and she said you must always BANJO - Bang A Nasty Job Off. Meaning just do the worst thing on your list first and get it out of the way. No excuses and no "running out of time" and having to do something else. Maybe i'll just go for it and do the bathrooms first thing this morning.

Morning lovelies! :wave:
Well we've got Lily backshe looks fine if a little skinny, so feeding her up and giving lots of cuddles. She's proper hyper though, but then she always was but I did think she would have grown out of it a little, she's nuts so she'll fit right in.
Not looking forward to this mornings job, it's the couple who lost their Grandson a few weeks backI never know what to do or say and going off to clean the bathroom seems wrong even though that's what I'm there for.
Got a structural engineer coming this avo apparently, time was never confirmed, so need to sweep under the kitchen units as that's where the crack is, and have a good tidy and hoover through, other odds and sods.

I think by roof she means ceiling.. and i need to do mine too it has bits of mouldyness on it which is quite unpleasant on the eye.
Squeak snoring.. and hasn't been up coughing or spewing .. she is waiting for me to go up and just get my eyes shut isn't she?
:rotfl: yes thats what I mean.... I dont know why, but no matter what i do, windows open, extractor fan etc - my bathroom roof gets manky black dots in patches.... it needs a good dose of bleach.
Hope you had a good night with Squeak.
KAz - thanks for that - the formula is right... its my administration that is lacking. There must be something I am overlooking. Out with the bank statements again tonight!!
Have decluttered some crumpets, sorted out the recycling, brought in the bins and half-filled the WM, am off to have a run round upstairs and see if I can fill it and get it on before I go to work

Morning all
Not enough washing for a load today, which is good as it has already rained and then got sunny. I got fed up of hokey-cokeying yesterday.
I've done the bathroom/toilet full clean, then vacuumed through downstairs and washed the kitchen floor. Then DD1 came in so I washed that bit of floor again and then the plumber came so I washed it a third time. I hope that's it for today! Still, the flush is mended now so that's one thing less to fret about.0
