    Morning All

    Going to start the morning off with a HHI as with me being out all day Saturday none of the ironing has been done and I need to iron the kids' uniforms. WM is already on and the dishes need doing but they may have to wait.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Good morning everyone!

    Had a good weekend, managed to clear all the washing and ironing too - so much nicer getting everything dried outside too!

    Not sure how much I will get done this week, I'm out 3 evenings! One governor's meeting, one governor's course and Mary Berry is paying a visit to the area so DH got me tickets to go and see her! Things are looking better generally though so it seems we are keeping on top of things.

    Hope everyone has a good day and takes advantage of the nice weather.
    :j Almost 2 stones gone! :j

    Roofing people turned up to redo extension roof. Now I will HAVE to clear the passage. So may be flying off list for a couple of days. After exploding microwave yesterday the kitchen needs a good scrub as well.

    Have a good day all.

    Thanks for the list!

    Lil_me - Good luck with the exam. I should have had one today, but thankfully our tutor has delayed it until after the Easter hols. Few! Hope it goes really well for you.

    Potterhead - welcome

    I'm in this week and will try to stick to lists now I have got the main rooms into some sort of order, although after the weekend my lounge and kitchen looks like a bomb has gone off (nothing new there then!).

    Will get nowt done today as off to college in a mo, then chiropractors, then it's DD's mass promise at Rainbows tonight and she wants me to go and watch. Will see if I can squeeze something in between chiropractors and Rainbows, but I doubt it. :)
