    Hi,

    In my slightly longer than HHC i

    Took recycling out
    Sorted rabbits
    Cleared drainer
    Wiped table
    Washed up
    Wiped worktops
    Took dry washing off airer
    Put dry clothes from airer away as well as a load from the airing cupboard
    Collected laundry
    Put another load of washing on airer

    I asked Ds1 for his dirty school trousers this morning, for some strange reason he misheard me and brought me Ds2's clean pair. I didn't notice until i was putting the clean washing on the airer.:mad: Now with no td, no heating on and it raining it's taking a day and a half for one load to dry on the airer. :eek: So, he'll be wearing dirty ones to school on Monday. :cool:

    Just having a quick cup of tea then i'm going to have a shower and clean the upstairs.

    Morning all, well bedroom is as clear as it's gonna be. Just hope the wardrobe man arrives soon.

    Plans for today is bathroom and our room and the house will be looking pretty good (for a change).
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Just popping in - bit behind but I do know I need to have a word with Mrs LW - especially to make sure she doesn't disappear from my virtual world - I would miss her contribution w-a-y too much.

    About to chuck some hot water over me, before trogging off with more cupcakes and muffins than I knew it was possible for me to bake to sell at a Street Party. Fingers crossed time. Needless to say it's looking like rain. On the plus side the Red Arrows are doing me a personal demo. :)

    Back soon - I only have to deliver and don't have to be "on duty" until 4-ish. There are benefits to still having a dodgy ankle!

    Wardrobe man been and the wardrobe is faulty, nothing to do with my building skills..:rotfl:So said wardrobe will be moved to big shed and covered until they decide to lift it. :D:D:D

    Need to move the table and chairs from outside over to a shed too, don't want them blowing away on me. Gonna clear the back and front halls as well, shouldn't take too long and i'll try and get some stuff up on ebay too.

    That's about as much flying as i'm going to get done this week. I've just gone and got the bigger laundry basket from the shed as the little one was overflowing badly. :eek: I have no idea when it's going to be cleared. The boys have clean uniform for Monday at least so i'll just have to do as much as i can. If the sun comes out it'll be ok.

    I was going to take Ds2 out for a walk somewhere but it's chucking it down and there's some very black clouds coming our way. So we'll sty put for now.

    After lunch i'm going to see what i can get crossed off my extras.
  • Lots to do today to get anywhere near finishing my lists :o so far I've decluttered a bagel, a coffee and my meds :p and loaded the WM. I've told the DDs that this is the only dark load I'm doing this week so if it wasn't on the pile it's not getting done! :D
    DD2 has her drumming club at 1 so I'll potter around 'til then, drop her off then nip into town. I have a nappy cake to make for DD1's new cousin so need to pick up some bits.
    Then it's back to jobs here, I need to get as much done as possible this weekend as Monday and Tuesday (fingers crossed there's no rain) will be deadicated to the garden and Wednesday will be a tip run with my mum.
    TOOTS list is growing too! :eek:

    DW emptied, Bed stripped and WM on. Anniversary dinner planned - just need to finish meal planning and shopping list then dreaded Mr T. Should have done it yesterday but feeling too grotty. Now its going to be a nightmare.

    Sorted out all paperwork and checked back-ups. I seem to have lost a month or so's work for a couple of clients. Grrrrr. Just what I didn't need. That will teach me to label my back-ups more clearly.
