  • Good evening :D

    I am in this week. Thanks Juliejim for the lists :T

    I have had a good day today :) The LR is sparkling! Everything, I mean EVERYTHING has been dusted/polished/hoovered, etc :A And it looks all Christmassy aswell :D We have shifted some furniture around in the DR, and that still needs dusting/sorting/decorating, and the hall.

    Dog has also been walked, dinner cooked, washing up all done, 2 loads of washing done, last lot in the drier now.

    I will posts my lists tomorrow.
    Hugs & spoons to those that need them, especially Mumto5

    Thanks Good intentions and extended thanks to everyone who posted last week offering Hugs and considerations, it is very much appreciated.

    I'm in this week. Done loads of ironing today so I feel quite pleased with myself. A DF took DS3 to football today and I managed to have a doze this afternoon. I might phone in sick for work tomorrow, this cold is a real nasty one. DH is taking the littlies to school so I could have another day in the warm until pick up time.

    I can cross a bit off the lists already but I'm tapping away on my phone so that will have to wait until tomorrow.

    Goodnight x

    Count me in too, had a busy week or so as have gone back to work and I need to continue my decluttering and clearing out.

    I've decided I'm doing a very sparse christmas too as I am not in the mood.

    Thanks to Kaz for last week and for helping to get the coalition started

    Triker lovely to see you.

    DS3 has just come downstairs with a sore throat and a cough, his school play is tomorrow and he is singing a solo line - oops

    I did my overseas cards but not my governor report so we know what I'll be doing first thing tomorrow after the school run!

    Morning all

    The report is going around in my head so I'm up now to get it written.

    DS3 has stayed asleep so I'll have to see how he is when he wakes. First a cuppa and a list for the week for me I think.
