    Evening all

    Balmy day here not long back from second Governing meeting of the day. Wine now being glugged.

    I'll create a list for those who are achieving far more than I can hope for this week and then may head up to bed once I've fed the WM

    Thanks for the new list. Dusty.

    Congratulations to Sexymouse and Moon

    I'm still reeling from last weeks upset, I saw Mum today and she's being brainwashed by my sister who won't let anyone else have a point of view.

    I haven't heard from the interview but no matter because I can't balance the books if I get the job. I had another interview today and I hope to hear tomorrow if I've got the job.

    Minimal flying today - I will tackle the lists tomorrow before a training walk.

    Morning All

    DS got in bed with me at 2.20 and I've been awake ever since so I'll be shattered tonight - well I am already! Nothing on tonight so far apart from a quick weigh in at SW so hope fully should get some stuff done unless I just collapse in a heap.

    Congratulations to sexymouse and moon.

    Sammi - are we going to see you on TV then?

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Not sure whether DS is going to be going to school as he's rather offside so I may be at home today as my parents are on holiday so they can't have him.

    Morning all, big kids are all back to school today. Got a call last night to say the boy's BB display is this saturday night..:eek: so thats 2 nights running about finished.

    Rhys has been in with us again last night, he's got such an awful cough, sticky eyes, won't eat (hasn't had much for over a week), coughs until he's sick. So i'll be booking him in with the doctor today.

    Didn't manage any flying yesterday but did get loads done in the garden and polytunnel. I think today will be more ofthe same.

    Sexymouse big congrats to you and moon, so chuffed for you both. :j:j
    Juliejim hope your DS is feeling better soon.
    Mumto5 fingers crossed for today's interview.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    Morning all. Have just vacuumed living room to get rid of dog hairs again, and finished cleaning in downstairs loo as did the toilet & sink in there yesterday. Just off to have a bath and walk the dogs before work but hoping to get some of the kitchen jobs done later today. Have a good day everyone.

  • Back to the fold, after 2 weeks of being a house of sickness. Had a good day yesterday, having printed out the lists I found it very therapeutic to cross things out when they were done.

    Became clear to me though that anything we do is invisible, it is only the stuff that hasn't been done that can be seen!
    :)Motto for 2013: GET MORE DONE! AGAIN
    Do an hour a day on my BOOK! Also, lose weight. And be nicer

    Not posted for a few days but have been trying to follow the lists. Yesterday I did the living room as we don't have a family room or study. ALthough will probaby need doing again if it comes up later in the week.

    Also yesterday I sorted through & bagged up all the 6-9 month clothes we've been given ready to put in DS's chest of drawers when he grows into them.

    Will update later with today's lists. Have a good day everyone.

    Congrats sexy mouse and moon :j:j:j

    If you can get organised and decluttered now it's so much easier when baby is here. I'm still being ruthless even now.

    Took Ben to get his jabs and he was so good and didn't cry. My chunky monkey also weighs in at a shocking 19lb 9ozs! He is 15 weeks old tomorrow. Am annoyed at the health visitor as he says I should be cutting his feeds down as he is "overweight". How can they say he is overweight when they haven't measured him, some of his 3-6 month clothes are to small for him I length so I'm going to take that advice and ignore it.

    Off to do a give Ben a bottle then do a Hhc.

    It annoys me when they don't measure the length, they should do that automatically. I'm 5'8" and DH was 6'2" our children aren't going to be small! They told me to stop feeding on demand with DD, till they measured her length. Lo and behold, both length and weight on 91st centile. Doh. Carry on as you are, you're doing great!

    Hmph.

    I did a swish and swipe two bathrooms last night and cleaned the kitchen, including shiny sink. I'm off list I think this week, DS was sick yesterday, all down his chicken pox tum, and has a chesty cough. So it's mostly laundry and cuddles here (with the children, not the wm).
