    Morning all.

    Nice to see seafarer's wife posting again.

    Well I haven't done any flying since last week, just the dailies. This morning I've vacuumed and swept through the house, but I'm not feeling 100% so will work from home, and doggies won't be walked as I don't want to stray from the house.

    Will go and clean some plugholes. At least then I can say I've done something off the lists!

    Catch you all later.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Well I can't separate the scalextric so it'll have to stay up.

    I know it's early but does anyone fancy joining me for a HHC?

    Mrs mp - LW's on holiday - unless I've lost a week and that was last week in which case she's probably getting herself sorted after being away!

    Just sorting out 1 of the cupboards in the kitchen - can anyone tell me why I've got 3 boxes of frosties open?

    Morning all

    Highlight of the day so far is that the blue (recycling) and brown (garden) wheelies have been emptied :D

    Forecast is poor here for today so just doing one wash which can go on the maiden. Ironing just about up to date.

    Plan is to clean mine and DS"&3s bedrooms and have a bit of a sort out in their cupboards. May pop to Mr T later (coupons) and possibly do an hour in next door's garden if there is a dry spell.

    Also try and find Harry Potter book for DS3 which has somehow disappeared.

    Valli - how did you find out about the spectrum - is there an online test? I have a belief that loads of us are somewhere on it :rotfl:

    I'll join you for another HHC Mrs MP. DD knew how to take the scalextric down so she's just doing that so I'll hoover up soon once I've finished sorting the cupboards out.

    Long list of my own today, too:

    make last lot of jam - started
    [STRIKE]sort through stack of stuff from top of dresser[/STRIKE]

    The rest of the family should be available to help today - DH in between going into town and a bowles match, and DS1 once GF has gone home. I'm used to his mates staying over, but not girls. :eek: Will need to think which jobs I give them to do. (Insert evilly grinning smilie)

    Have a good day, everyone, despite the rain that seems to be everywhere.

    Well, we are not going on our day out, just to the house of the friend we were meeting.

    So, have an extra hour or two with not travelling. Have put wm on, kids are having breakfast and watching Nemo again (how has that DVD not workout yet?). Might get iron out in kitchen with my mini board and do the curtains I washed a week ago... Then will do downstairs loo.

    So can't wait for my new mattress tomorrow... But you know when you build up the idea of a good nights sleep, when in all reality it's not going to happen anyway? Well, it'll be nice to get back in my own room anyway...
