    Forgot to say thanks to Dusty for the list yesterday - and welcome to all the new babies!

    Job looks ok for now (well as ok as any local govt job can be these days), it was an 'error' apparently - well that's ok then!

    Got quite a bit done yesterday and today's list looks good BUT I have a full Governor's meeting this evening so I'll have to see what I can get done.

    Nice weather forecast today - enjoy it everyone!

    I was a real lazy moo yesterday - took DS2 to see the Olympic torch after work/school (only out of the house for just over an hour) and made tea for me and the boys, then spent the rest of the evening doing not very much at all. :o Must try harder. At least I did some of the LR list at the weekend, so it shouldn't be too bad.

    Dust the electricals - TV and stand
    Hoover the floor - need to hoover under furniture this time
    HH tidying, decluttering, sorting
    Cobweb extermination
    Clear and clean windowsills - done on Saturday

    Thank you dusty for the lists, and juliejim for last week xx

    The house is pit-like, DS is here all the time and making mess :mad: Today I am going off to work and leaving it all - he can hoover, load the DW and clear the kitchen. It had better be done when I get home. Although I am going out for 'one drink' after work to celebrate a colleague's birthday so I may not care a fig when I get in :cool:

    I hope everyone is well, healing vibes for those in need. Oh, and a virtual kick up the backside for you, witchy :p

    Byeeeeeee

    Morning all

    DW and WM both on and yesterday's laundry put away.

    Must do some useful tasks on here then shower and floors for me first today.

    Mums with new babies - please do not attempt the whole lists, you are still recovering and your babies need you!
