Not done a great deal today but its been slow going on account of the heat and having dd3 home all day. Gonna keep going in the hope that it will all be done before the day is out. If not, tomorrow is another day.

I have done 1xWM and #2 is in as we speak. Also did a load of dishes (where the hell did all those cups come from?) and tidies the kids room a bit as well as removing some gibble from the bathroom.

so it doesnt feel particularly unproductive.

Had a busy day running here, there and everywhere with school, nursery, work, back to nursery, school visit for DD2, pick her up again then go back for DD1. So the only flying I've done is folding some washing and putting it away (more to do though) and decluttering a pigeon back its owner (don't ask)!!!!:rotfl:

Anyway, tuna pasta bake for tea which I don't feel like cos its too warm but the online shop isn't coming until 7-8pm which is far too late for the kiddiewinks. Oh well, tuna pasta bake it is then.

Thanks for that cat - that's a good idea - unfortunately we're now on plan B which I'd not thought of earlier. I went to cook the pasta then realised that we've not got enough pasta left! But, we have got some spaghetti, prawns and some lovely HM tomato sauce that DH made so I think it might have to be that instead.

Got the girls involved with the flying so I've managed to cross a couple of bits off. Really need to shift the washing off the sofa though then I'll feel like the lounge is a bit more manageable. Perhaps I can get DH involved in vacuuming when he gets home too. I really hate vacuuming the chairs and moving the furniture. Too much like hard work!

Anyway, best turn the laptop off or no-one'll eat tonight!

See you later x

Flying hard. VAT woman coming tomorrow so have to have a clean house. Have to make a good impression - and bake so I have that nice homey smell Thankfully dog washed last night :rotfl:so he won't lower the tone.

Then its a count down to HOLIDAY on 9th July. Finally been signed off for the dive medical so I get to dive/go on real holiday with DH for the first time in 2 years. Yay. But must leave tidy, flyed and de-spydered house or I'll be stressing about coming home.
