    went in to work to watch leaver's assembly. Was asked to take photos of presentation to head - i pad - wow (from staff and children/parents) - fortunately I happened to have a school camera in my bag = brownie points earned
    uploaded camera pics to website gallery = brownie points earned
    cleaned pots in kitchen = brownie points earned
    cleared rubbish to tip as was calling there on way home anyway = brownie points earned
    collected both parcels
    cleaned kitchen (staff room) again - dried all mugs cleaned microwave (and turned off for summer) cleaned toaster. Took home colleague who had urgent phone call re ill grandmother in hospital (the 'get the family here asap' call)

    I've just finished the paid stuff and can look forward to a long weekend. This week, I only managed Tuesday's list and dailies as the paid stuff was so busy and I took a day off with DH. Hoping to get out in the garden this weekend to tidy pots but it will be dependant on the weather, today is not good, feels like autumn.

    About to catch up with the washing up and if there's time before tea preparation, I will do some ironing. Also need to take the dogs for another walk.

    Have a good evening everyone.

    :D;)oh they will. A Little bird will REMIND them

    *preens own feathers*;)

    Have now packed the last item, and nipped to PO. Kept hacking bits of card off till it was under 2 kilos, as I had charged for an under 2 kilos parecl. Was supposed to be a collect only (due to fragility). We'll see.
    Unfortunately in my 'enthusiasm' I have TRASHED the DR.

    And DS hasn't discovered the chocs yet - year 5 bombarded me with more gifts!

    OMG

    i have actually managed to do the

    kitchen,
    front room
    hall
    stairs,
    bedroom
    bathroom,
    and the spare room

    while putting away a mountain of laundry - although not doing as much as i would have liked.... - i can't dry it though so it would have been wasted effort...

    Right Bathroom done!

    These are the before pictures from my door, of the bathroom shelf, a close up of the shelf and the dumping ground behind the door (there were some shockers there that were minging ~ my boyfriend works out 5 days a week :eek::eek: and despite my kitchen being next to my bathroom some of the things in there could have walked to the kitchen themselves!)

    This is my bathroom after

    and just incase anyone wonders the pretty little basket was £1 from poundland - and I have a second one next to the toilet with the toilet cleaner and a microfibre clothe in ready for my s&s.

    :A

    Tomorrow will be starting on the bedrooms at 15 minutes each - being that there is 3 rooms.

    and I have so far found 2 hotspots

    HS1 is the Kitchen table
    HS2 is the stairs.

    So I may focus on one of these too tomorrow if I get time and the kids/Owen behave!

    Right now going to find my son being that he was meant to be in at 5.30 and he still isnt home. :mad:
    Time to find me again

    Some paper work sorted here, more washing done some on the line and some in the td. More things bagged up just need to put them out. Bin brought up, dirty washing sorted, fireplace cleared.

    Solicitors was a waste of time, can't do anything to keep him away and she'll start the divorce but it will be 6-8 weeks before papers are done and if KH refuses then i need to wait 2 years.:mad:

    Right back to the flying and i best put some dinner on too.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
