Morning lovelies! :wave:

On littleys netbook as my laptop gave up the ghost Boooo! will have to get a new battery for it. The WM is on the blink too double booooo! Gonna be an expensive week cos littley has to pay £120 towards her school Spanish holiday too this week, they must think we're all rolling in it :rotfl:I thought payment scheme meant just that! so much a week! not a lump sum as and when they can be bothered to ask for it, anyhoo it'll all work out in the end we just wont be eating this week.

It's darn cold out there, the car is frosty white so have to go and defrost it so I can go and get petrol, gas/elec and a picture for my new bedroom which I simply must have as it's not often a painting hits me but this one did, gotta have it and it was the only one left so need to go today.....should have got it ysterday when I was looking at it....I never learn.

Washer load on the rads dripping wet (it's not spinning) so windows are fogged up and watery, need to do a few dishes and S&S the kitchen, put some rubbish out and whatever else turns up along the way.

Morning all

Very frosty and sunny here again today.

I've stripped a bed so far this morning. Lacking a bit of motivation. I need a little list to focus me:

[STRIKE]Print and [/STRIKE]check credit card statement
[STRIKE]write to tax credits, again[/STRIKE]
file DH pension stuff
photo for driving licence
library
small food shop
joggers for DS3 for PE
fix holes in troussers
DS3 2x homework
Clean the trumpet to put away

Ironing later with Ski Sunday and Dancing On Ice

That will do for the minute.

Goodintentions

Good morning

I am up & dressed (sort of - will need to change if I want to go out!), bed stripped, WM on, 1 load in TD, had breakfast.

I am going to HHStudy (or 2!), then I will do a WM/TD shuffle & maybe reorganise some kitchen cupboards :eek: I also need to do a food shop at some point today.

Ok. Off I go. Will catch up later

A very late check in for me for Friday. I had a night out with a friend on Friday celebrating her new job. Then I'm ashamed to admit that I was just far too hungover yesterday to even consider flying. But I got up early ish this morning to get caught up.
I've done the bathroom - should probably do the kitchen and some cooking this afternoon as well but the freezer is quite full at the moment so nowhere to freeze my batches.
Anyway - upstairs is done.

Belated birthday greetings kazw - sorry I missed saying happy birthday yesterday.

I've spent the morning doing washing, putting away dry clothes, finding homes for all the 'lost' items that have been dumped places by other members of the household. This usually involves me dumping it in their doorways so they can't get in their rooms. I am SO grown up!!

More tidying to do now to try and get ahead before a busy week xx

House is staying much tidier now DH has gone back to sea, so hoping I can keep it up when MIL goes back home in a week or so. She is working her way through my ironing and doing the hoovering and I'm fluttering with the rest.

My aim for today and tomorrow is to tidy my wardrobe and put all ironing away. Also need to give B's room a quick tidy as I trashed it when bathing him this morning.
