OK - a new day begins and I woke up to a kitchen piled with a filthy wok, chopping boards, knives, plate, mugs, an empty tupperware container and 2 saucepans - DH cooked for himself last night (I was out and had spent the previous hours since school run time ferrying and feeding various children) and did no clearing into the dishwasher whatsoever
- and he wonders why I was grumpy about it! (It's my job to do it all, because I'm at home - fair enough for most stuff, but to not even put his dirty plate, cutlery and mug into the dishwasher.....? - sheer laziness:mad:)
Anyway, here goes:

Morning all, just catching up before school run
Didn't want you to think I had done my disappearing act again..lol.
I'm not sure I can cope with these early mornings much longer..lol. Still good news is that at least I am up and about by 7.30am and normally showered and dressed by 8am..then off out to do the school run..or should I say do battle with other mums and their driving
Will catch up with the rest of the post later when I get a wee bit of time to myself, whenever that is..lol
Hugs and love to everyone, hope you are all doing okay.Mortgage Free as of 20.9.17Declutter challenge 2023, 2024 🏅 🏅⭐️⭐️

Hi all
Supposedly on another day trip today to Cannon Hall Farm. It's teeming down. Oh well. We won't melt. But my hair will go frizzy.
Bedroom tidied, bed stripped, dusted and hoovered. Will do rest later.
All tidy upstairs but DS has his train track on lr floor and DD wanted her slide in conservatory. Along with two airers as nowhere else to dry the laundry. Weather pants this week, still, the garden will like it...Bossymoo
Away with the fairies :beer:0 -

Didn't sleep very well - so warm last night and no air
Bed stripped & in the WM. Hopefully DH will hang it out when he gets in while I am at toddler group (he will probably just stick it in the TD though)
OK - I need to do some toast for Miss T (she has only had 2 breakfasts so far this morning apparently! :eek:), then attempt to brush her hair (doesn't look like it has been done all week)
i am feeling a bit bad this morning as I was asked if I could have the bubba today (he is 8 months old). I said I could, but are they ok to pay me (I am a registered childminder). The mum came back to say she didn't have any money, so she would get a friend to do it. I did feel bad for saying no, but it is my business, not a charity - and I was hoping for an easy dayBecause they are young, I am normally paid through a government scheme, but that has finished for this year.
Ok - breakfast now i think.....0 -
Hi Ladies :wave:
I am here just not been posting, am in as best as I can be this week, have a busy busy schedule this week! Thanks Juliejim for the lists, I will do what I can when I can, didn’t actually get sitting down until 9.45 last night! Sister in law is down from Dingwall & kids have a lot of stuff on. House is not too bad really but a bit dusty, going to try fit a few HHc’s in after work tonight! I have deleted the extras, not a hope of doing them this week. We have cinema tomorrow night, swimming lesson Sat morning then blitzing the shops to get our holiday shopping done on Sat afternoon. Leaves me Sunday to get caught up! Hope you are all well, I have not had a chance to read back.
