Last weekend of the hols is upon us. Ds2 just up, preparing for a gruelling day on the sofa with a video game. Just mentioned guitar lesson later, prior to which he will have to take a shower, you would have thought the world was ending.

We have a day in London tomorrow, which means all the back to school prep will have to be done today. Also that I will have to cook meal ready for when we come back tomorrow, as well as cooking all today's meals.

Torrential rain here, revising plans for tomorrow to include less walking and more tube journeys. Boys will like that I expect.

OH is supposed to be putting up shelves in kitchen today, so I have to be on constant hover in case he decides to start.

Happy days everyone.

So far today I have:

Scoffed toast x 2
Watched 'yoof' TV prog to see if DD, who was in audience when it was recorded, was shown - she wasn't
Placed 2 bets on the Grand National
Planned dinner (HM chinese)

Mega dust and de-web of landing, stairs and hall
Wipe down paintwork
De-clutter PC desk
Get DS to smash up PC desk (its kn*ckered)
Pull up hall carpet
Start painting hall :eek:

This is not a list for today, or even the weekend, but once it's written down it should be easier to get going.

Bye for now :wave:

Calming vibes please peeps, OH has started the shelves.....

Afternoon all

Calming vibes to all, there seems to be a lot of angst around.

Not done much so far, washing on the line, wm refed. Been to town with DH to open our ISAs, returned some library books, picked up an order and got some fruit. Need to go back down later when I have a list for a food shop and to visit the new bike shop.

Time for a cuppa and phone my mother. Hoping for an hour in the garden, we have some sun but it is very chilly. Need to make cakes for charity event tomorrow too - it is for Ed - Not much news, he is still with us and has moved hospitals to a specialist neuro rehab unit. Still no real progress but everybody will wait as long as he needs.

Jazee

Hello all. Have done weekly shop, walked and bathed the dogs, vacuumed living room. That's about it. Just seen that someone is making cakes, think I will do that too, love baking.

Pollybear - I wear knee pads when washing the floors to save my knees. Got mine at the garden centre, and have been known to answer the front door looking like a skater!

Catch you all later.

greenbee

Fairly unsuccessful shopping trip, although I do now have a couple more watering cans, a new mop bucket, furniture polish and rubber gloves. I have polished the chest of drawers. One load of bedding has been washed and dried, so I need to get the next load on. The dyson has been given a bath and is drying... Unfortunately it means I can't hoover for a while, which needs doing badly, but it was so filthy it probably wouldn't have cleaned very well!

mummyyof5

So far have been to L**l..had to get Taxi back as car is poorlysick:(:(

Dwx3..5 loads of washing done..3 were outside but rained while I was out..now have about 6 loads waiting their turn for TD:eek:

Carbonara for tea..rice pudding in slow cooker,chocolate cake in oven.

Bathroom cleaned
fridge cleaned..very little thrown away
recycling done twice

Will need to pull sofa out soon as have lost my knitting pattern..cant finish my cardigan without it:mad::mad:..will clear underneath at the same time.

Calming vibes for Helensdatters OH...I leave the house when OH does DIY..either that or bite my tongue a lot lol.

Keeping Ed in my thoughts Dustykitten xx
