Mudbath

Methekids - hope everything goes well today.
Lil_me - just wanted to say hello :wave:
Soappie - so tragic about the red arrow's chap, very sad.
To everyone - hellooooooooooooooooo!

My list

Clean lamp shades
Garden put away summer toys / games / furniture
Finish accounts
Start wrapping Christmas presents
£1 shop for bits
Finish vistaprint order for work

Working all day so will try and fit a few bits in between clients. I really need to make a start on the accounts :eek:as there's not much left to do but I seem to have a 'thing' about actually sitting down and doing them. No idea why because I write everything up each time i work so it just needs imputting into the spread sheet. Maybe I need to call it something other than 'accounts' so I don't have that mental block over them!

Hi all

Please can I fly again? I used to do it through this forum over a year ago. I stopped due to taking on more hours at work and the LO becoming more demanding . . my house has never been the same again and I am now fed up of the mess! I have just been made redundant and trying a stretch at being a stay at home mum so I should have more time

Thanks

Good morning All

I feel a little better this morning but headache still there ... hey ho X ray have just rung and said that I have to go in for 2pm for my doppler scan.

Now do I drive to town to look for curtains or do I be good and stay at home waiting for appointment..... hmmmmm:D

I think I will do a slow HHC and think about it as DD arrived on Monday night and the house is defiantly showing signs of increase in mess and clutter...... shoes left in living room.....cups left on the floor.... basin covered in toothpaste!!:mad:

Right 2 mins late I will start a HHC if anyone wants to join me?

Washed pots and backing sheets/recycling

cleared gibble that seems to collect on one worktop
tried to make phone call to XOH credit company - he died in May and they keep calling XFIL. I have already written to them and supplied death certificate. Have been on hold for ages - will try later today and then write again but not sure what to put in letter as feel like I want to get stroppy with them for bothering xFIL every few days.

Headache really pounding now so will make another cuppa and then wake sleeping beauty (DD).
