    Ive been really lazy today - dont seem to have done much at all. Mind you, the house is clean and tidy, so didnt need to do much anyway.
    Have started painting the downstairs loo, DW is on with the dinner dishes, which was HM chicken nuggets and HM chips - house does smell like a chippy now, so kitchen window is open in hope that the smell will go soon.
    Right, going to whip the hoover around and make tomorrows packs while im waiting for the DW to finish.
    Will be back for tomorrows list later.

    Very busy day, horrible drive across Kent and back today, and an excellent day's course in between!

    Sadly, except for dailies, no time for Flying. But if I hadn't done this for a couple of weeks, it would be impossible to keep up! Thank you to moggins again, and everyone else for all the encouragement!

    I am aiming for a PROPER early night tonight.. ha-blooming-ha!!

    I have done everything I can today and I have collapsed in a heap on the sofa.. in my pj's.

    I need to find uniforms, feed hoppies, and have a quick 'pick-up' in the front room. I must vacuum in there tomorrow! I need to finish the hallway, or at least do a bit more tomorrow.. I can't do it all at once, I'd be asleep by lunchtime! I have filled half a wheelie bin today, given away 2 boxes of records and a suitcase of books, taken 2 binbags of carp to charity shop and found the little landing and half a hallway (it is 26ft long!)

    Potty training must be ongoing, she CAN do this, she has been telling me for long enough when she needs to go. I have 3 beds need changing and send a cheque to school for DS2's clarinet lessons.

    You do all realise that when you have made me tidy my entire house I will feel compelled to make the playroom/garage into a playroom?? Which means I will be in decorating mode which means I'll end up painting for about 2 months.. I LOVE decorating once I get going. .. now laminate or crappet for my bedroom?? With my 4 poster bed, gold walls and purple taffeta bedding *grin* I simply cannot decide!

    Thats a memo for my tomorrows jobs done! I'll be back later to check on what delights Moggins has in store for us, if it is too scary I may stay in bed!

    OOOOOohhhhhhh... payday on Wednesday!!! I get to pay some bills!!! How exciting! I need to get out more!

    I'm having a bit pf a problem. Until PixxySu has edited her post I cannot post tomorrows list as you can't do the big blue writing on quick reply and when I click on post reply the page is about 3 foot long!
    Organised people are just too lazy to look for things

    hi all

    could you not just post tomorrows list in normal type using quick reply for now, so those waiting up can go to bed so we can get an early start tomorrow!

    and then maybe it can be edited into big bold blue type tomorrow.

    Thanks for everything you are doing here - i have not posted before and have only being doing the tasks since tuesday - but the house is so much better and i feel so much better thinking i can do this cleaning thing, rather than letting it all get on top of me,

    thanks again

  • MOGGINS it is a real glip istn't it - don't stay up late waiting though as we must prepare oursleves that it might not come until tomorrow (if i had smilies would be an eek and a wink or big grin!!)
