    Morning all.
    Moggins I hope your daughter okay and feeling a little better today and got a good nights sleep.
    I got nothing done yesterday as my dad fell over the washing machine door mum had left open (to air it LOL) and I spent most of the day in hospital waiting for xrays etc, and running an ambulance service (as he couldnt drive as arm so bad) Luckily they eventually decided it wasnt broken, but has torn muscles and so he cant drive etc etc for a few weeks, luckily they are only 12 miles away, so I will just add their trips to tescos etc onto my flying lists.
    So hopefully I can do todays and yesterdays.

    Goodmorning Ladies!!

    Moggins hope your DD is feeling better this morning. I had a quick look at the daily thread and I could not work out if it was an allergic reaction to medication or washing powder?? Was very late and eyes were kind of blurring at this point.

    House a mess (not hugely but to my now "normal" standard!) Got busy morning DD1 to Preschool, DD2 to swimming lesson (I have to get in the pool too - best go shave my legs!!), get meat from market, pick up DD1, get home, do their lunch and then think about all the other jobs lined up for today.

    SIL coming to stay for weekend so need to make bed up in kids playroom.
    Cook Gammon Joint for tea
    Make sponge for MIL birthday cake - joint effort with girls
    Make some more cookies - again with girls
    Spend 1/2 clearing kitchen after girls cooking frenzy - lol
    Tidy bedrooms
    Clean light-fitting in kitchen (spotted friends the other day and it was manky - made me remember to check mine)
    Hoover stairs and landing.
    Clean bedroom carpets - still not managed this
    Ironing - do in kitchen, settle girls at table sticking and glueing so I can keep eye on them.

    Oh!! can I just go back to bed and pull to duvet over me and come back out tomorrow please, oh wait its work at the weekend.

    Right, more coffee, get kids and me dressed and get on with it!

    Nice to see all the photos.

    Busy few days at work, now back flying. Some months ago when we decided to move house and double our living space. I am pleased to say that six weeks in to the new house, three days mess now makes a thin veneer accross everything rather than hiding the entire carpet in one room. Result I think. Today I need to play catch up - so freestyling as usual. Never been very good at taking instructions.....

    Childrens rooms/Spare room - Tidy, hoover, clean skirting boards and windowsills. Change bedding. I'll whizz the vac round the boys room which is almost habitable still and fo a 30 minute pick up in the girls room.. it is bit of a bearpit again in there!! Most of the bedding has only been on a few days the only room I can do is having the plaster knocked off one wall tomorrow.. so I'm not even going in there!!!

    Quick hoover round downstairs and tidy ready for the weekend... back to the back room today!! nowhere else seems to need doing this much! I almost feel motivated at the moment.

    Good morning everyone,

    Up early again today, so have done quite a bit already.
    Beds made, all windows open upstairs. WM (including DDs bedding) done and hung up, breakfast dishes in the DW. Bathroom and toilets half done, kitchen worktops wiped and paid2clicks done as well.
    Just going to take DS and DD to school, then will be back for a cuppa and some breakfast for me, and a snack for the LOs - then i need to dust the front room and shelf in the hall - also want to make some pizza dough for dinner tonight.

    moggins - hope DD is ok this morning (and the doctor arrived, and you managed to get some sleep)xxxxxxxxx

    Take care everyone xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Moggins - hope DD gets better soon

    Well done to everyone who's still flying :D I'm amazed how much doing a little bit each day makes a difference.

    So here is todays List :
    • Dailies
      • [strike]Beds[/strike]
      • Bathroom
      • Dishes
      • Kitchen
      • WM - lights (DD has another own clothes day to raise money :mad: )
      • Hot spot - desk area...ooopppsss
      • Evening Meal
    • Hoover through
    • Dust through
    • Tidy throughout
    • EBAY LISTINGS
    The kitchen looks like a war zone and the desk could give the sun a run for its money for being a hot spot :eek: Guess I should get a move on and do something about it. :o Shouldn't take too long.

    Now it's DD's turn for the computer :rolleyes: Laters :wave:

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
