morning all! I'm in!

Back to work today - 1 member of staff short and 42 coming into reception....shudders..... here's hoping they don't all want hot dinners - there aren't enough little tables.....

loads of washing done - DD2 brought back a weeks worth from her trip to France. She had a truely awesome time (1st trip abroad - with friend's family) - and seems to have matured a lot!

Fingers crossed weather holds......

list-less

Living Room done.

Just having a coffee before I tackle the understairs cupboard (can't actually close the door now !)

Hall, stairs and landing DONE. Even moved the linen chest of drawers on the top landing and hoovered under it. Haven't done that since we moved in 5 years ago!

Living room DONE except that I need to carry all the ironing upstairs and put it away. A job I avoid if I can as pathetic left achilles tendon limits me to stairs no more than 5 times a day or I won't be able to walk at all tomorrow....

Cleaned DS1s shoes and trainers and packed for school on Wednesday. Two loads of washing on the line in a gale force wind. Made tomato soup using toms & onions from the garden - simmering ready for lunch. Made chicken goujon things for DSs lunch. Chopped, blanched and frozen 3kg runner beans. Will make some runner bean chutney later once Mr T arrives this PM with the shopping as have run out of sugar.

Out to watch football match with DH and DS1 tonight - DS first time at a "proper" stadium (well, Charlton anyway!). Have to put up with the Valley as local and can't afford White Hart Lane.

Here's what I still have left to do -

Dusting, even if around everything
Clear fire surround of gibble!
Put all hotspots into a pile/box and sort through it all while having a cuppa.
Tidy shoes, coats and bags .. wash any that need washing.
Extras
1. Paperwork clearance.. spend 15 minutes minimum sorting through those piles of paper.
2. Defluff behind radiators..

But, on the good side, beds all made, washing all hanging up to dry, been out trimming the hedge and almost filled the green bin ready to be collected (just gone), done 30 mins of my typing job, been playing Candyland and the Bear Hunt game with DS. Waiting for Mr T to come; driver just rang to say he's 15 mins late so should be here any time now. Then lunch *yum*!

Hi all.

Ooh, I'm so glad a lot of today's list is N/A as I'm feeling decidedly grotsville. Probably stressing about tomorrow, but I feel 'orribly nauseous, and have serious gutrot and a vile metallic taste in my mouth that just won't go away.:( Or it could be fallout from the migraine that had me confined to the sofa all day Saturday....:( Oh well....

It has to be said though, that a lot of the items that are N/A are because of Flylady – now all the hotspots are gone, I totally refuse to allow them to reform, and we take the Valli approach to clutter - “don't put it down, put it away”, so it doesn't become clutter, so thanks for that!:beer:
Jojo congrats re the band; hope all is well with your blood tests.

Youngmummy in case I forget to say it nearer to 10th, best of luck with your move.

Jetbag ooh, Labs can be real canine cannon-balls, can't they? Just as well Clive and Derek are small dogs – Lhasa Apsos, although I have looked after a Labrador before. Hope your poor knee is soon on the mend.

WM has been on, washing hung out and hurriedly hauled back in when the rain started. It can stay on the A-frame in the bathroom now; I don't have the spoons for the Washing Hokey Cokey.

Right, time to post'n'delete - although whether any actually gets done today is another matter. And of course, I won't be around tomorrow.
