Yep, this weekend.
So, if anyone wants me, I'll be
a) ensuring the builders can get to the windows AGAIN to inspect them for the third or 4th time on Monday morning (roll eyes smiley here)
b) having a belated birthday lunch at Jamie's Italian
c) ebaying...‘Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.’ David Lynch.

:j a week and a bit into 'Flying' and the old [STRIKE]pigsty[/STRIKE] sorry, home is looking a whole lot better and I feel a lot more positive too. DH has been a gem and as for you my dearest Flyfriends I couldn't have done it without you. Thank You all for your encouragement and support, I'm so happy I could cry. There is still a long way to go, thankfully I'm not a hoarder we are just untidy:rotfl: but I actually believe it can be done now:T0

Kazmeister- he has swum every day this week because the heater was broken last week. On top of that he has his out of school swimming lesson that I pay for. I've spoken to his teacher today to inform her that he must shower to get the chlorine off. She was a bit dubious but I rolled up his trouser leg and she actually winced. After today he's back to just Tuesday and Thursdays. I will cream him 3 times daily and use the hydrocortizone x 2 a day so that should make some improvement by Tuesday.
DD2 is complaining of a sore throat still. I have sent her to school as its a non uniform day for taking a bottle in for the tombola. I think I will get a phone call when the carrots wears off.
2 loads of washing done. DW unloaded, reloaded and unloaded again. The sun is shining. Dare I put washing on the line?
Going to go and give my bathrooms a good going over now.0 -
Morning all
Very breezey here so wash one going on the line and first lot of towels are in the machine. Hoping to get the gate open next door to strim their grass.
DS3 home tonight, it seems a long time he has been away so I need to get soup and cake baked this pm as he is only here for about 1 hour before I need to take him to the play off game up the boro'. Night of taxi driving for me for all of the boys and DH, should get some ironing done whilst trying to stay awake and some more emails dealt with (down to 87 now which is a bit of record for me)

Morning all
I've already done all the rooms this week but today I've got some washing out (sunny and windy but cool) and I've tackled the cupboard under the stairs. Not a huge amount to chuck out but some, and I've stacked things better so it at least looks tidier.
I've also done some more shredding.
Can't go out walking because I'm waiting for a parcel delivery, if it comes early enough I'll try to get out then. Good excuse really, I still don't enjoy it.0 -
