    Today I need/should/want to do:
    [STRIKE]DW[/STRIKE]
    laundry x 6 (3 done, 2 ready to go out and one waiting)
    get clothes ready for tomorrow (DS2's and mine) - almost
    [STRIKE]tea[/STRIKE]
    find out if school needs notice for DS2 to start taking sandwiches
    (make up packed lunch if they don't)
    make a list of all the things DS2 could have in his packed lunch
    buy some eggs
    make meringue (want to make a pudd with strawberries, meringue and mascarpone)
    make a loaf cake and/or some biscuits or similar
    sort money for tomorrow
    [STRIKE]go to the church event next to DS2's school (they're raising money for roof repairs)[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]a HHC or two[/STRIKE] changed beds and put stuff away
    school stuff
    save jojo's emoticons to word doc for future use

    I acquired a bag of eating apples at the church, so it looks like crumble for pudd. Just the main course to sort out, then. Crumble tomorrow or Tuesday now.
  • Ok. List update:
    [STRIKE]put up new smoke alarm[/STRIKE] (DH needs to do this but needs BIG kicks up the @r$e as he isn't doing anything at the mo :()
    walk the dog
    meal plan for week
    [STRIKE]food shop[/STRIKE]
    DW on
    clear up kitchen WIP
    clean upstairs bathroom sink done

    Ok. that's a start. i haven't done a mealplan as such, but i did look at what we already had, and think about what we needed before I went shopping :)

    DH has put up the new smoke alarm and cut the grass :eek: He is now laying the paving slabs as stepping stones to the summerhouse, before the garden gets too boggy & we can't get to it! I was hoping to have the summerhouse sorted with electrics & insulation by now, but we sort of run out of funds :( DH seems a little happier for doing something useful, so we both win :D He is saying that he will book a docs appointment tomorrow (he has been saying that all week now).

    OK - I think I will do an HHC in the bathroom and maybe finish off the kitchen.
    Off I go!

    Kitchen surfaces wiped down, downstairs floors hoovered somewhat sketchily :o sitting room windows wiped with vinegar as they've been looking very cloudy, but there didn't seem to be much dirt coming off in the paper. Kitchen and hall floors washed. Downstairs loo bleached.

    I really want to get rid of the living room carpet as I'm sure that's what makes it feel so dirty. Need to empty the hoover and wave it around upstairs at some point, then the house is clean enough to be left.

    I must remember to clear the bathroom window sill and take down the bedroom curtains in the morning so there is nothing in the way of the decorator.

    Thats the bedroom and bathroom done and a tidy everywhere.

    Keep safe in these winds we are expecting everyone.

    Just been going through my photos and had a few tears over Mam but they were happy ones remembering Xmas, Birthdays and Christenings.

    Off to make a lasagne now then to catch up on some tv I recorded.

    Hugs, spoons and sticks where needed.

    Toots and Lady L Thinking of you both.

    In my HHC in cleaned the bathroom and the kitchen :j
    DH is ironing :T

    I am going to update my spreadsheet with my food shop I did today, then see about doing up the ebay parcels to be sent tomorrow.

    Just looked at the stuff I shoved in the summerhouse last weekend, and the saucepans that DD1 wanted are still in there :( I need to take some stuff to the CS this week (should be able to manage that as Litle Miss Sunshine is on holiday this week)
