    Frog List
    Do 2 items from your frog list that you didn't do last week


    Tuesday - Choose a neglected room - argh! All rooms are currently feeling neglected!!:eek::eek: Will look at doing dining room (rarely gets done as the kitchen takes priority) and a bit in family room (NEVER gets done!:o)

    Slightly different today
    Do a 60 in 60
    Do a HHC putting things in their correct places
    Clear a hotspot

    Morning all! Rain stopped overnight but doubt it's gone for good!

    Another nice easy list - got all the washing and drying done yesterday, DH did some ironing too - made all the difference! Gets the working week off to a good start which I like.

    I agreed ages ago to make a nappy cake for a relative - I don't mind BUT it's always us that ends up doing the running around, dropping off presents at Easter, Christmas etc - but it's 100/150 miles to each set of relatives, so that's a whole day out of the weekend, means leaving the hounds at home (not allowed in mother's warden assisted flats, fair enough). I get annoyed at leaving them alone for hours (longer than we do for a working day when it's 4 hours max but no one says to go to theirs and bring them - even though they have dogs!) So this will be the last one I make for them, if they come to pick it up in future I might consider it! Sorry to rant, it's been this way for years but I'm gradually realising I've been taken for a mug for years. Rant over! Other people are expecting me to make things for them in about 2 weeks flat, I've got other stuff on the go, I can't do everything! I did offer to make something before Christmas but nothing was mentioned, and now it's panic stations and time is getting short. It really gets to me though, I wake up at silly times of the night worrying about it - 3 am last night - and can't get back off to sleep!

    Oh well, work beckons - well the shower does, anyway! Hope you all have a good day, enjoy the last week of the holidays those that are off - I'm enjoying the quiet roads!
    :j Almost 2 stones gone! :j

    :p I WILL be tidy, I WILL be tidy! :p

    Morning all, yesterday turned into a wash out and the only thing i got done was an online shop. So MrT coming at 1-3 and MrA coming at 8-10 tonight.

    Boys have Easter club today and tomorrow so that will leave the house quiet. So i'll get the boys dropped off, find out when my floors are coming, lift meds, lift money then home to crack on. DD say's she'll give a hand. :D

    DW and WM both on so far, best get the boys up.

    Sagaris ((big hugs)) please do whats right for you. If they leave it too late to ask just tell them you can't do it. I know it's hard but you need to put yourself first. xx
    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

    I'm trying to decide which is the neglected room while I have a cuppa.

    Kids have wrecked the LR so I may start in there.

    As always WM is on.

    Sagaris Could item be posted?

    Anyone heard from Jojo?

    Back later

    Jojo has been on Facebook :)

    Sagaris I know a nappy cake will be bulky and delicate, but like Dancemum said, can't you post it? It would save you an awful lot of hassle, is it not possible for them to come and pick it up?

    Well I've done the DW and the kitchen, part tidied the LR (cups for the DW) just having a brew then I'll go and get customer's washing out the boot and get that done. The sun has come out to play :T

    Sagaris - tell them you can do it, but they need to either collect it or pay you for petrol and dog sitting if you have to make a special trip to deliver it.

    Breakfast eaten - juice made from ancient citrus fruit so will have to wash the juicer later. Windows opened for some fresh air in. Need to go to the post office for cash to pay for last week's decorating...

    morning all
    hope everyone is well and enjoyed the long weekend
    Sagaris, it not nice when people dont aprechiate the time and effort put into hm gifts and it does sound like you have to do all the running about to get them delivered, id make it clear in future stuff needs collecting if you are kind enough to agree to put all the hard work in.
