legally you are supposed to give them their branches back ..

Our grass needs mincing again.. ..

I havent even got to the grass yet - I hacked back her hedges from my path in the front and off my driveway at the back, hacked the bushes in the front and some more shrubs which had completely taken over the back path - that took me a good hour and a half..! The grass will need to wait until another day, but two footballs are now completely submerged out the back... so I probably shouldnt leave it too long or DS will get lost next.

I heard you can put their garden waste in their garden, but shes 80 if shes a day. I would feel bad - still, she should get her flipping gardener to do it when he does the rest. Im sure she doesnt just to spite me.

I am exhausted. Off to find a list and see what actual progress Ive made this week.

How are you keeping Piggers? Are the brood and Dot behaving?

Hi all

Would have better today had the rain not been falling - it is like autumn here I did the school run in full wet weather gear- got no washing out today. But did do the following

Clean bathroom and toilet
kitchen all done
done loads of paperwork
shopping
and a frog - thats been around a while

The I had a great evening DD got two achievement awards at the awards evening at school one for English the other for Maths that means she is in the top 3 pupils in her school for both subjects I am so proud of her. She has just been chosen to do summer school for the first two weeks of the holidays including 2 days and an overnight stay at a university. She goes up to high school in september.

Put it in her garden bin?

She doesn't need to pay him to do it.. you do it for free!!!! Maybe you should say to her she needs to get it chopped back as it is taking over the planet! ay you've hurt your back and can't.

I'm not dead yet.. despite the trawl through Ikea today and 3 hours in the car.. that's a bonus..

Dot is a slob.. it barely moves although it hated the middle section of the M62 today.. the vibrations played havoc.. though i did need to loo so it may have been objecting to a bladder squishing its face!

The brood are all loopy.. DD3 is being a cow (hormones, almost year 6 and end of yearitis.. ggrrr) DS3 is being special, DS2 keeps beign aggressive, DD4 keeps trying to emulate DD3 which makes me wants to throttle her..

£900 decluttered today.. 3 beds, 2 mirrors, 10 bed sheets, 2 underbed storage chests, 2 highchairs, 1 office chair and a bookcase... (to go with my £1200 Next yesterday and the £500 plasterer :eek:) ... I am not spending another bean all month.. apart from the decorator and paint and the carpet for the girls room

Done 4 loads of washing.. tomorrow looks busy...

Before 12noon...

vacuum Brum
Bath Squeak
Pack bags
Load car.. tv, tv stand, BBQ, 3 bags, box of toys, pushchair, highchair, 2 laptops and 3.5 people!!! :eek: We may need a shoehorn!!!!!!!!!

Morning

Yesterday was very busy flying wise.

I went and bought my drawers last night:j Perfect match to the triple wardrobe I have so I'm really chuffed. Only been looking for a set for the last 12 to 18 months.

DD1 and her BF popped over last night at 9.15 and it was nearly midnight before they left. I swear she' nocturnal! So I didn't get much done last night.

Just having a cuppa. Then I'll do a quick HHC before I get ready and go too work. Then home, another quick HHC to try and straighten the place a bit more. Pack (I have no idea what to pack) and then I'm away til Sunday. Will be busy solving a murder:D

Morning TAG and everyone else

WM is on - I'm not going into work today but I need to finish an application form and deliver that before 12 so I'm hoping to get some jobs done today as the house is like a bombsite!

I seem to have started with a cold - must be the stress.

Mum and Dad's for tea tonight so don't have to cook anything. Other than that I'll just see how the day goes.

Have a good day all

Hugs

Jue
