Morning all!
Isn't education wonderful? You can write your name in the dust in Villa Valli :rotfl:
no sign of tiler but I'm cracking on.
Cross that DS failed to tell me about parents evening - have just lifted heaps of paper off his floor and found the letter.
Email has been sent to head of 6th form.
It's beyond a joke though.
Anyway I have a cupboard wiped out so I'm going to do a HHC to shift stuff kitchenwards
HHC at 10 anyone?Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016

Been having a few probs with t'internet so haven't posted since Monday. Won't bore you with what I've done, but full-on and not a lot of flying
Had a bit of a panic this morning, I got a call from a recruitment consultant asking me whether Wednesday or Thursday was best for a job interview. I said Thursday, so she went away to call the company and said she'd email me the confirmation. Well I picked up the email last night and she put 10am TODAY!! :eek::eek:
Well, I'd have to leave here by 9:15 to allow time to get there, etc so have had to rush to prepare and showered. Luckily the office opens at 8:30, so I called and found out that it is next Thursday. Few!
I'm going off list today.
Going to focus on lounge and maybe kitchen:
WM & line x 1
empty DW
Hoover lounge
dust & polish lounge
clear gibble on my table - made a start on this yesterday
clean window?
Clean mirror
Clear kitchen worktop
Clean worktop

Auntie is coming over today so I need to sort her phone/tv bill see if I can reduce it some how, teach her to text and numerous other jobs shes got for me today.

Oops re dinner register...!
I ended up spending 45 mins and cleaned our bathroom (shower cubicle, bath, loo, sink, floor, chest of drawers, mirror), sorted washing to bring downstairs, put some of birthday presents away (from more than 2 weeks ago!:o) and cleaned 2 mirrors and the tv in our bedroom.

Just cleaned the hob and the kitchen sink (and that is my standing done for the day :mad:)
Oh the cleaning company rep came yesterday and we are having them come clean, first off a complete Spring Clean (whole day or more - really blitzing the place :j) and then once every 4 weeks to keep on top of it all :beer::T:beer:, I can keep on top of the sinks, loo and hob in between.
So now to get my packrat of a husband to PART with some stuff!:eek:Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup

Good for you, Dragon:T I know it was getting you down, not being able to do it all yourself. Maybe Dr Dragon needs to learn the LameWolf mantra... "If In Doubt, Turf It Out!":D
Calming vibes on their way to all the stroppy teens - gosh, if I'd acted up like some of them, I'd have been knocked into Wednesday week!:eek:
I'm ahead of the game for this week:p (thankfully, as I'm cream crackered after the opera last night, and have a Mensa meeting I have to attend tonight), as Mr LW has been on leave for two days (back at work today) and he's done the back lawn, and helped with washing the curtains (getting them down and putting them back up), and we've taken the beeswax to every bit of wood we could find in the bungalow!:T
So I can just do my email stuff, see to Dylan and do our food for today and Friday, and we'll start Flying again at the weekend with the normal w/end jobs (bath lift out and scrubbed, hoovering, ironing - all the stuff that's weekly that I can't manage myself ). I also want to take the covers off the bath lift and put them through a wash tomorrow.:o
Am I right in thinking the clocks go forward this weekend, btw?:oIf your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0
