    Good morning all

    Sorted through the last box of paper work last night. Filed and shredded as appropriate and have added the last pile of receipts to my spreadsheet.

    Have wrapped an ebay parcel to post as the person asked for a bin price, which I added. They then asked me if I would do first class postage instead of 2nd - and I said I would - but the cheeky blighter then went ahead and immediately paid the second class invoice, and Im presuming he is expecting me to pick up the additional cost!

    Anyway - best get on... the school run beckons then work :(

    :D I will declutter my house and debts :D
  • Bed aired and remade. Curtains and windows wide open.


    The splats are all crashed out in pretty much the same positions this morning. All blissfully happy.

    I'm sitting here with an incredibly strong cup of coffee, in amazing, perfect silence.

    This cannot last. The children at the school along this road have to start wandering by in the next five minutes, someone has to get into their car, something has to happen out there. This house is just outside the town centre - how can it be silent?


    But it is. :)
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

  • Good morning :D

    1 load in WM, DW emptied & partially restacked, 1 bag of recycling put out, LR all ready for Miss T, breakfast eaten & dog put in the sunshine in the garden. Sounds like the washing is nearly done, but it may have to wait to be hung out. I am only working this morning, then have a few hours off before school run time. i will do it then :)
    :)

    I didn't sleep very well last night - a bit restless :( I woke up at about 3.45 & Dh was awake watching a DVD. We are all a bit zombie-like this morning!

    I think I will go to toddlers this morning with Miss T, then have HM soup (made yesterday) for lunch & then start on the lists. i will update later.

    DW emptied and loaded, WM emptied and airer emptied and re-loaded. Need to take laundry upstairs in a mo.

    Dog walked - managed to avoid the torrential rain. Yay.

    Off to Zumba at 0915. Bit apprehensive but I'll give it a go. Will then have DH around for the day when he gets back from hospital. May put him to work :evil grin:

    Bedroom not too bad but really need to hoover everywhere. I hate hoovering. Aim to start on the business filing frog today :eek:after I do a couple of hours of paid work.

    Have a good day all.
