    Morning All,

    Another WM x 1 done (including winter coat ;) ), and all clean washing put away. :D

    My knitting book arrived too. :D

    Hurt my finger again though. Boooo. And woken up with a stiff neck. Another booooo!

    HUGS to all who need them.

    Today is the first day in a fortnight that I've felt better from this awful lurg I got. Got I have a plan and it involves going to the dump a lot and getting rid of the detritus from the garden.

    Other than that yesterday I mainly looked at finances and claimed back some money from an overpaid credit card.

    Blood test not done, it seems they asked me in 2 weeks too early!

    Ordered on line a new washing machine, via quidco as well, plus it has £30 off, with free delivery, so well pleased. As the belt has come off my one AGAIN this morning, it is now happening every time I use it each wash, I spent more time with its back off putting the belt back on than actually using it! Should be delivered on Tuesday, so I'll work from home that day.

    Wm is on again, fingers crossed.

    Aerobics class done with baby at creche
    bath scrubbed - boy oh boy was that gross!:eek:
    sink and loo cleaned
    bath mats on to wash

    Morning - just about!

    I hate sleeping in - it's like I've wasted half the day before I've even started.

    So straight into some vacuuming to the sounds of the radio, I think. Then I have to get my pit looking more like a room again.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

  • Been AWOL for absolutely ages - so totally out of the loop and have no clue what's going on with anyone.

    Just seem to have been really busy lately. I've finally got a day to myself as DD2 started school a couple of weeks ago but this is her first full week in and as I'm now working 4 days a week rather than 5, this is my first day where I'm not working and I've got no children til school pick up time.

    Anyway, I have been flying while I've not been here so the house isn't horrendous and I have managed to do a few things today too.

    Monday ~ Master Bedroom and landing
    DONE:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    Tuesday ~ Living room, hall and stairs
    Level One

    Declutter and degrot the floors
    Vacuum/mop floor
    Level Two
    Dust and deweb
    Wipe all the paintwork in the hall and stairs, including doors
    Wipe the sofas, remove all cushions and vacuum underneath
    Level Three
    Check smoke alarms

    Wednesday ~ Kitchen and Dining area
    Level One
    Sweep and mop the floor
    Clear and wipe worksurfaces
    Shine the sink!
    Level Two
    Wipe fronts of appliances and units - not forgetting the kickboards
    Descale iron/kettle/etc
    Wipe table and replace cloth if needed
    Level Three
    Clear and wipe tops of microwave/fridge/freezer
    Sort baking ingredients.. what needs binning what needs restocking and what can you use up this week? Christmas cakes will need making!!!

    Thursday ~ Childrens rooms, spare rooms or anywhere else
    DONE:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    Friday ~ Bathroom, loo and study!
    DONE:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    Not looking too bad - just the lounge and kitchen to do now really and even they aren't too bad either. My biggest problem is the ironing pile - there's soooo much its driving me mad!

    Having a chill out for half an hour and watching Thelma and Louise that I recorded last night - loved this film when I was a teenager!

    Booked a haircut for Saturday afternoon (in Dutch - ooo er!). Saturday is going to be quite busy. Groceries coming betwee 10 and 12, then haircut at 2, then off to knitting shop I found on t'interweb, then back home for batch cooking whilst drooling over the guys in Supernatural! Mmmmmm. I'll be doing some cleaning/flying in between all that too! :D

    Mmm, Supernatural....*also drools* I am a Dean girl! Oh & I may have a bit of a thing for Jeffrey Dean Morgan (the guy that played their Dad) lol. Can't wait for the new series!

    Hi everyone I've been working hard just a bit busy, as those on FB will know I've made a mad decision & this little guy comes to live with us on 7th of October

    So we need to be 110% sorted by then. Got lots to do :D

    Oh wow!!! Adorable, absolutely adorable!

    Flywise:- I have completely ignored the lists this week, eek! But I have done some much needed decluttering - the clothing situation is really starting to come together, so much so that I have the motivation to finish it I think! I am on holiday Mon-Sat next week though so who knows if I'll actually achieve this before the motivation wears off, but I am going to try :)
