Hi all, I am in again although already a bit behind this week. I've been very distracted by starting my new care job and being a little too obsessed with the phone hacking scandal. I'm hoping to spend today catching up.

Please can I ask what frogs are? Are they jobs that you keep putting off? Sorry of this is explained somewhere but I couldn't find it.

So today I intend on:
Tidying living room, hoovering and mop floor
Tidy kitchen and mop floor
Change bed covers
Clean bath and mop bathroom floor

Frogs (if I have this right):
Finish painting hallway
Sort out spare room/office which has turned into an absolute dumping ground
List some items on ebay

Obviously I won't get all those frogs eaten today

Thanks everyone

RachelS

That;s the thing about frogs...slippery little s*ds! I just did one of mine...phone the gas company...and it's turned into 2 more tasks. Both of which WILL be done today!

Come on greent - you can join me for a HHC!

I did and got the following done:

stripped bed (inc mattress and pillow protectors) and loaded WM with it
polished our bedroom, landing/ dressing area and bathroom (wooden CoD in there) in c all mirrors
dusted and dewebbed the above
put 3 pairs shoes away (2 x OH, 1 x me)
hung OH's dressing gown
put some clothes from floor in wash
tidied a drawer out
sorted a present for another teacher (away on Mat leave since Nov but coming in for last day....)
changed towels
cleaned our bathroom - sink, loo, bath (inc anything on the surfaces) (just shower left to do and floor)
put a suitcase away at back of OH's wardrobe
put all clutter away from surfaces - except teachers' presents which will be wrapped later and go to school tomorrow

Now to hang first WM load out and grab a cup of tea before starting a frog, I think..:D:D

I missed my HHC cause I forgot a friends Birthday, so popped to the shops, also gifts for teachers....I was looking for some small picture frames but didn't like any I saw, so need to pop to the chemist in a mo. I'm going to get DD to draw some pitures to put in them as I'm sure the teachers have enough wine/chocolate/flowers etc. I have, however bought 4 small chocolate cupcakes in Aldi's and I'm going take them out of the packet and wrap them individually and tie some ribbon around them.

Happy Birthday Froddington xx

Right off to the chemist and then straight into a HHC when I get back....if I can get the dailies done before work it will be something!!! (picninc on the school yard this afternoon so very little will be done then......AND it's raining.......fun!!!)

RachelS

Greent that is a lot in half an hour! I am going to be inspired and do some speed cleaning in a minute!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRODDERS
(in Pompey colour)

I'm bored at work again. Slightly more work to do today but I still have an hour to kill. I've got no money to spend and my clubcard plus is empty so I will have to be very creative in the kitchen until DH's pay day.

DS1 was last to bed last night. He left every single light on downstairs which made me pretty cross this morning at 6.45.

Downstairs is quite respectable. MB needs lots of flying attention so that is my task for this afternoon.

Anyone fancy joining me for a HHC 11.30 - 12?
