Sounds like a great idea! Tomorrow it would have to be after 6pm.
I have Rainbows tomorrow so won't be home until around 7 p.m. I think I'll be aiming for a HHC at 7:30 p.m. (if I type this now, I might actually do it!!)

Morning all
Breakfast x2 done (DS2 was up at 6am :eek:), DW emptied and re-loaded, lunch x2 sorted and I've had two cuppas.I've checked the weather warning, but it shouldn't be too bad around here. Kids will be hyper, though.
Time to get washed, dressed and off to breakfast club/work. Have a good day, everyone. x0 -
Morning all. Start of the new me today. Up with DH at 0645 so I'm already almost 2 hrs ahead of myself. DW emptied and loaded, DH packed lunch made, had breakfast. Just catching up on here then will walk dog and then fly until my new exercise class at 1015. Go me. We'll see how long the energy lasts:D
Flying wise. Kitchen looks fine after the weekend :TDitto bathrooms so only S&S needed there. Hall will be decluttered to charity shop, stairs are clear and living room clearer than for ages. So really dusting and hoovering. What am I going to do with this extra 2 hrs? I'm sure I'll find something :rotfl::rotfl:

Good Morning People!
I am back in this week, after a long absence. Placement just takes it out of you its like work and school rolled into one, I have been working shifts (including 2 weeks of solid nights) as well as trying to learn all about the ward, gain new skills, work the computer system and do uni work, complete assignments and revise for an exam - as well as being a mum and wife!
I am pooped, so may only end up doing level 1 all week, but its something cos the house needs a bloomin good "autumn" clean.
Final exam for my nursing today, so will be starting late (PM) cos I can't put that off. Bag of nerves completely sure I will sit at that desk and forget everything I have revised!
But looking forward to Flying with you All again!Donna

I'm in again this week.
I was meant to be gardening with DD1's grandma but I don't think that's on the cards today or tomorrow by the looks of the weather.
WM is on, it's bedding which can be TDed. I'm decluttering a coffee while I wait for the girls to get ready for school then I'm taking my meds and going back to bed for a bit
Terrible nights sleep, distrubing dreams and now carppy thoughts that won't leave my headI think I'll be making a Dr appointment when I get back up.
Todays jobs will be S&S kitchen,
Mop kitchen floor
Clean bathroom & floor
Load WM with white wash, girls left it on bathroom floor and one of the kittens peed on it :mad:
Change cat litter again!
See you all later :wave:0 -
Well done with your list items, froddy. I'm planning something similar myself and I'll take Mrs B's advice on going for 30min in the room of the day, as anything has got to be an improvement.
Not sure I'll be around at the same time as you and Froddington - I foresee a Half-Hour-Room-Of-The-Day-Challenge theme here. :rotfl:
Had a very strange night's sleep - think I was probably stressing as Mr B's work hours for the week have changed as of last night, and with me being away for three days I am going to have a few extra issues to sort out before I go - so all in all overslept and shot out of bed at 6.15 am all flustered.
Still managed to complete 3.5 jobs off my Dailies List AND made Mr B's sandwiches which he wasn't supposed to need. Work now.
