    Mummyroysof3 gentle kick coming at you!!

    Everyone has had a really good day by the looks of it today :T.

    I've just done roast beef and then apple and pear crumble and cleaned up so feel very proud of myself (sometimes it's just beans on toast for dinner as I find it hard thinking what to do :o!)

    Got my ironing down to do whilst watching Superscrimpers at 8 so that'll pass the time. Just got the small matter of getting DS up to bed and he's being a little tinker :mad:

    Come back from Beaver and Cubs and I'd forgotten to move the bin so the dog has eaten the contents and give himself the runs - so half of my kitchen floor has now been disinfected - good job he's only allowed in the kitchen when we're out!

  • Some progress made today, as I have cleared and wiped the kitchen surface and table, sorted through the cupboards and made an inventory of food. I have given the hob a good clean but need to get some scrubbing pads so that I can get rid of some stubborn marks. I have done some more work on the budgets.

    As well as the jobs that I have got done I have also managed to get all the work done that was in my diary for today, however this sadly does not include my course work, which I really need to get my head into, as I have so much to get done.

    Hope everyone has had a good Monday.

    Evening

    Thanks juliejim for doing the thread this week, and to Dusty again for last week.

    Wow seems like quite a week again for poorlies so big hugs and healing vibes. Missed end of last week so hope Ed is waking or improving in some way Dusty.

    Northern Meet

    We're still meeting! Sorry I was MIA for the past couple of weeks. I've send pms tonight to everyone who had contacted me previously to avoid posting details of the meeting on the thread. Please let me know if I've left you out. I'll keep a close eye on posts and pms between now and Wednesday morning.

    Flying - well, that's another story. I've decluttered a car and acquired a new one, as well as sifting through and pre-sorting two large boxes of paperwork. I also lost the weekend either to some bug or just accumulated tiredness from the half-term. :o Did nothing from Friday night to this morning, apart from collecting the car and putting a few meals together. I'm hoping to post a list in the morning, but it will be customised.
