  • Morning all :hello:

    A bright chilly day today in Kent.

    I have a combination of housework and study to get on with today.

    But first, big :grouphug: to all that need them, and special 'wake up Ed' vibes :lovethoug When he comes round he will report with amazement a chorus of female voices with different accents all chattering in his head :eek: :D

    So my day looks like this:

    Morning all,

    Been to WW and lost 1lb (think it might've been the blood donation yesterday - every little helps lol).

    DH has taken himself to JobCentre and then onto Dartford on an errand. Good job as otherwise I would've spent money in the shops that I don't have :p

    Just going to make a start on our bedroom, then try to catch up on some things I've missed this week. Ironing mountain almost up to the windowsill in the spare room, so that is now a priority.

  • I'm joining in very late this week again. Not had a chance to catch up with the thread but I hope everyone is ok.

    I'm extremely busy this week so just doing level one all week. Tbh, I hadn't done anything till this morning (just finished a good 2 hour session flying). Just cleaning toilets and changing bedding left. I better do it quickly before lunch so I can spend a good couple of hours studying this afternoon.

    Hopefully things will go back to normal next week and I'll be able to do a bit more and post more often too (I'm adding catch up with thread to my to do list for this week ;)).

    Afternoon

    I've done the bathroom and toilet this morning. One load of washing draped round indoors (the sun is making the kitchen lovely and warm) and a load of towels out on the line blowing well. Took me four attempts to get the bird bath clear of ice, kept having to put in hot water and bash away at it.

    Come on Ed, we're waiting :)

    I've been doing some paid work past two days so playing catch up today.
    What I don't manage to get done I'll roll over to tomorrow. Not so stressed as I used to be by housework, think its because the house doesn't look too bad even when I get behind with things now.

    Food scoffed.. toast for dinner again tonight lol... I decided a switching around of meals for me is a sensible option.. it means I eat way less.. has to be a good thing surely!?

    Babies hoofed out of bed at 9.. Dot down for a nap at 11.. she was not impressed at being woken up at 9 lol. Squeak down at 12.. both are being woken at 2pm so we shall see how they like that ;)

    right.. HHC.... 1:30-2... anyone joining me?... involving kitchen reclamation... and OH kicking... MWAHAHAHAHaaaaaaaa...........
