    Hi
    Foot was feeling a bit better last night so with the help of the kids managed to get most of the list done!! I am happy.
    DH is way with work (typical just when you could actually do with them about) so will have a go at the list, except for turning the matress, cant bear the thought that it might catch my foot.
    Always on the hunt for a bargain

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    Morning all.

    No time to type out my list today just yet. I've got a meeting with DD's headteacher about the school website at 9.30:eek: Was up until gone middnight drawing up some designs for it. Inspiration decided to hit at 8pm last night...only been trying to work on it since October :rolleyes: Funny what a deadline can do :rotfl::rotfl:

    Anyways, after the school run (9am) I'll have time to put the washing out, change my top and head back to school :rolleyes: Hopefully I should be done by 10am BUT this man can talk for England so it could be later :confused: Also need to go shopping today. We're down to 1 pear and citrus fruit :o

    Right, off for school run. Laters :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Do dishes
    Clean kitchen
    WM x 1
    Tidy living room
    Hoover through downstairs
    Clear hallway (again)
    Todays flylady (except bed) if I feel up to it

    I'll add whatever crops up later
