    Morning. I'm soooo stiff this morning :o My back and thighs just above my knees are aching like mad so I'm going to pass on doing the hoovering today. Walking to school this morning nearly crippled me. Guess I over did it yesterday walking another 5 miles :rolleyes: So I'm going to move anything that I can't do sitting down to tomorrow list, including collecting my pescription. ;)

    So now my list looks something like this:

      • Evening meal

    • POST BIRTHDAY CARDS
    • Ebay
      • Pack up items to dispatch
      • Dispatch items - if I can manage to get there before 3pm.
    THURSDAYS LIST
    • Dailies
    • PICK UP PERSCRIPTION
    • Kitchen

      • [strike]Put things away[/strike]
    • Masterbedroom
      • Dust
      • Hoover
    • Hall/stairs/landing
      • Hoover
      • dust
      • switches
    Unfortunately I NEED to do some ironing - DD has run out of blouses and OH is on his last shirt :confused: I might be able to manage to do a couple of things at a time, or even do it while sitting on the computer chair :rotfl:
    I'm going to set the ironing board up and just do what I can as I can manage. Oh and while I remember ... I AM NEVER WALKING 5 MILES A DAY AGAIN..or at least not 2 days on the run :rotfl: :wave:

    Its such a lovely day that I took the dogs for a long walk on the beach - its was wonderful, but a bit hard work with my naff foot on the sand, but even so well worth it.
    Anyhow I'm very behind so will get up to the bedroom asap, I also have 2 mystery shop telephone calls to make (need to do this before kids home) and have to finish off tidying the utility cupboard, as I emptied it last night sorted it but still have ever potion and lotion imaginable lying around on the worktop.
    Always on the hunt for a bargain

    Well I'm starting to be a bit more flexible :j My legs aren't aching as much now, but it could be that I've been sat on my bottom for the last hour playing games :o

    My mum popped in on her way to the hairdressers so I popped to the post office en route with her but came home. Can't stand the smell in hairdressers...will probably explain why I haven't had my hair cut since November 2005!

    Anyways my list
    WEDNESDAY LIST
    • Dailies
      • Evening meal
      • Uniform / packed lunch for DD (need to make x2)
    • [STRIKE]POST BIRTHDAY CARDS[/STRIKE]

    Going to go and put the last load of washing out on the line and bring the other stuff in. Then I MIGHT do a couple of ebay listings...will all depend on my legs and whether I can stay awake. :o :wave:

    Good luck at the vets Hopeless cook, hope it goes well.

    I've done all my jobs after a slow start and i've even managed to study today. All I need to do now is pick DS up from school, then DD from choir, take to beavers and brownies and make 60 cakes for a cake sale at school for red nose day. I'll get my children to help with those though. Right, school pick up. xx

    I'm not really following the lists :( but I have been fluttering. Living room cleaned well today. My daughter has had her day off today instead of Thursday, so her bedding is done. She's been sorting through her clothes and we've got two bags in the shed for recycling and we've taken two bags to the charity shop.

    Went to a garden centre. The weirdest garden centre I've ever been to. Lots of random stuff for sale. It was like a parallel universe and it felt a bit spooky after a while so we left rather quickly! I was only looking for catmint and they said it was too early in the year.

    Just got back and got all the washing in and folded and put away. My feet ache now and it's work tonight.

    Bad day today,
    I woke up this morning with the most horrific headache !! managed to get dd3 to school and then the day went down hill from their. Managed to get to doc's for blood test at 10.45 waitied 30 minutes then back home to pick DH up and then back to Doc's for the Dn ( he thought going with me would be to early for him!!!! sod the fact i feel like a blasted rubber ball at the moment) from the DN took DH to work 20 min drive away, then went to Cartridge world to sort out printer ink. Then i went on the hunt for a block for the bedroom curtain rail that is falling off!! 3 shops later with No sucess decided a new rail was called for. bought said rail not bad 10ft long £6,99 with all the fittings and hooks. Back home which by this time the House looked like a Blasted bomb had hit it as NO dailys done!! had a urgent mail to send DH work re a !!!!-up with his sickness that is being paid at the end of the month. as doing this i get a call from dd3 school, can i go and pick her up as she has been rather sick and feels unwell. Now home and managed to do daily's and i'm wacked OUT still feeling yuk and having to think about cooking the pending T for dd2 and DH before i get a call to go and collect dh from work about 8pm. suppose it could have been worst and been raining instead of a sunshining. Wishing that you all have had a better day than me???
    ps Veg box arrived today as well but i got no suprises??

    Just back from work and picking kids up so way behind, and have been asked to work tomorrow as well, so need to do the bedroom tonight after tea. I was hoping to have some "me" time tonight.. Only have lentil soup to heat up, made it last night in SC and fry some bacon to go into it, so have a bit more time, not slaving over a hot stove ;)

    dailies:
    hoover
    dishes
    bathroom
    ironing
    WM
    get kids to tidy up their stuff before their rooms get cleaned.

    Well better get to it then. Do I have to, I am enjoying it so much on here..........
