    Flying in bathroom and start on living room list
    complete OH's medical form and post it with sicknote
    phone job centre to ask about OH's sickness benefit claim
    talk to DS1 about his plans (college/work)
    [STRIKE]phone GP to confirm OH's appointment time for this pm[/STRIKE]
    collect OH's prescriptions from chemist to take back to GP
    go to GP appt with OH
    take out-of-date meds to chemist
    [STRIKE]update budget[/STRIKE]
    phone council for new bin (lid is now completely broken) £15 delivery :eek: Have texted OH to see if we can collect it. Not sure it will fit in car.
    take DS2 to get his hair cut by OH (if he's at work long enough)
    [STRIKE]nag[/STRIKE] encourage DS1 to tidy the space at the bottom of his stairs
    research home insurance - I missed the renewal date due to OH's illness and the holiday. 40% increase on monthly payments despite no claims! :eek: If I can find it at the old price or cheaper somewhere else it will be worth the £26 cancellation fee.

    This list is growing instead of shrinking! :cool:

    You will probably get more than £26 cashback so should negate the cancellation fee.

    I'm in. Thanks to all at FCC.

    Today I really need to eat some frogs. Get one set of accounts done, and GO TO THE GYM. I may need a few mules thrown at me :rotfl:

    Living Room not looking too bad. Need to do some floor clearing but living room table is clear as we had takeaway last night:p Very bad - I just couldn't be bothered.

    Must do better today.

    I haven't been on for a while as I have been bogged down with my OU studying. I am sure my house will be sparkling when I finish when I am no longer investing the hours into study.

    I have already made a start - one lot of washing on the line and load 2 in the WM. I have set DS up mowing the lawns, and I have polished my sofa leather balsam, never done this before but it seems to look good.

    Quick coffee break and then on with the list, I have no porch so that is one job struck off the list lol.
