    At last - I've finished the planning! Unbelievably slow. I'll have to do better for next week, as we're being observed for a couple of lessons.

    Cup of tea, then iron shirt, pack bag, quick tidy round, and make a lasagne for dinner.

    See you all tomorrow pm, I hope!

    poohbear - very pleased to hear you're all okay.

    Love and hugs
    It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be

    Poohbear thank goodness you're alright; good job your DH didn't feel up to work today, hey?

    I've finally dealt with today's list - only taken me most of the day (interspersed with a couple of bouts on the WiiFit, plus numerous time-outs cos my shoulder was giving me hell). *rolleyes* I've had an awful job getting anything done - I keep dropping things, forgetting what I was doing, and generally taking one step forward and two back.

    hello everyone. I am rather weary. A full school day of work followed by school pick up and a trip to Mr T. Dinner bought for next 3 nights and stuff for sandwiches - this morning's bread was stale but not green suede!

    DH worked from home today and brought me some lunch into work. Miraculously the phones stopped ringing and we had half an hour quality time eating lunch together at my desk (I work alone).

    I've not done any more flying since I posted my list this morning. The WM has been put on for the 2nd time and I've put some bits on the airer. I nearly completed the ironing challenge for NYE but it has crept up to 2 basket fulls.

    I'm going to start dinner now then I will attempt to do at least one basket tonight.

    been busy-ish

    Living room has had a proper clean now the decs are cleared; have made 2 cottage pies for tea - well one for tea and one for the freezer. Changes vacuum back for the upright and am impressed with much-improved suction

    (I'm not, really, but it looks like I've not done much:))

    OOOh Poohbear that sounds scary...

    Hi guys :wave:

    poohbear OMG!! Glad you're ok and very glad DH was home with you, scary, hope the mess cleans up ok x

    G&B I can't even imagine a full tin of paint spilling, what a mess, and belated birthday greetings for your DD, I hadn't realised it was on the same day as Jues DD xx

    Welcome new people and returners :hello:

    I've done the bathroom as it was shameful :o I also cleared rubbish and threw out half used ancient bottles of congield gunk yak! Filled another packing box :j I think it's almost under control now :cool:

    Also done DW/kitchen, WM & TD, tidy LR etc etc amen. Found littley's English exercise book which she needs for tomorrow, she sorted the rest and is all ready to go back to School. I've been dead busy but it doesn't look like much written down :D

    DD1 is coming for a bit tonight so no doubt we'll make the usual trip to Asda, cos that's what we do - shopping! I don't need anything though *coughs* well I can't buy food anyway as I'm trying to run the fridge freezer down ready to go into storage :p will get some cat food though as princess Lily refuses to eat Asda's stuff *tuts*

    Ciao for now xx

    Upstairs hoovered and rugs down. I'm not washing the floors at this time of day as it will make ute condensation worse. So tomorrow I need to hoover downstairs and wash the floors before I head to my desk.

    Decluttering and tidying are going well, although I still have all those odd bits that just don't belong anywhere.

    I'm now going to spend a couple of hours trying to get my head round some very boring work and do some planning for the year so I don't end up getting in a muddle with my workload later on...

    Evening all :)
    I don't know what's come over me but I stopped in a supermarket on the way home to buy cleaning products and I can't wait to get cleaning with them?!!
    I have to get my catalogues delivered first but when I come back I am going to get stuck in :) I don't know what I completed on the list from yesterday yet but know I got quite a lot done so will check later and catch up with anything I didn't do :)

    poohbear - I have been trying to search posts to see what happened but I'm glad you're all ok whatever it was hunny x

    Ok best get cracking - will try and get back on here before I go to bed :)
    Jen x
    Everything happens for a reason :)
