    CPN has been out, it say's it all really when he came to see me first. He said he wanted to hear the truth first.

    Right i best get my mop bucket ready...:rotfl:
    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.

    Afternoon all.

    Just having a quick coffee break & I'll be on with my accounts. I've hit christmas sales now & things are getting more complicated :( DD has decided to craft some pressies up in her room while watching DVDs so apart from the occasional trip upstairs to help her I can actually get on with work in relative peace :D

    So far today I've made breakfast & lunch, paid the credit cards, WM/TD on and helped DD getting started with her crafting. I have done 3 weeks worth of accounts, but its taking forever as I keep getting interrupted by calls/texts and I really need to work on my filing system :o

    This week:
    Wed : Shops with DD for start of uniform, Work - evening
    Fri : Possible ex-ils dropping in, possible sleepover for DD's friend
    Sat - no ex here, must remember ;)

    Dailies :
    Dishes
    make beds
    HHT(idy) before bed
    List 1 box of stuff to sell (19 boxes in total 3 listed so far)
    HH Physio x 4 for DD (including laps on her crutches - I will get her out of the wheelchair for going to the local shops!) M x 2 exercises
    Personal accounts (1 statement month a day)

    Monday - Bathroom
    Level one
    Clean the sink and toilet
    Level two
    Hoover
    Wash the floor
    Clean bath
    Level three
    [STRIKE] Wash any winter coats[/STRIKE] Sort out coats under the stairs
    Wipe the tiles and window ledges
    HHI

    DD's jobs:
    Deal with clean laundry x1 so far :D
    De-button rag bag stuff (buttons to be used for decoration on her camp blanket for guides ;))
    [STRIKE]Tidy bedroom[/STRIKE]

    Dishes out and on with these flipping accounts :mad: :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Apart from an extended lunch break with DH it's been quite a productive day. Lots of little jobs and it doesn't really show yet, but I know I've been busy.

    Got another 40 minutes now before I need to head off out. Plan is to nip up into town in the car so I can get back in time and walk down to DS2's school. Not enough time to do both on foot. Off I go.

    I'm using this link but have never tried either before. Usually make jam but have lots left from last year as I'm the only one who likes it. I've made cordial before too which is good.

    Glad people around have the measure of your XH. Please stay strong and whilst you're at it get that bathroom done :rotfl:

    DS1 has kindly helped me cut the next door neighbours hedge, need to clear up but it's a tad hot at the moment so it can wait.

    DS3 away to tennis for an hour and a half, DS2 kindly cycled him up there and he has cleaned the upstairs windows.

    Pancakes made for lunch as a reward.

    Sports Direct and Next orders both arrived and very little to return. Just need one more shirt for DS2 for his new 6th form and may get a second suit if he likes any of the decent priced ones. He has new shoes.

    DS3 new trainers arrived and fit lovely. He needs new school shoes and probably troussers. Friend giving me all her sweatshirts as her DD has left year 6.

    DS1 still need to sort some shoes out.

    Time to update my list and have a cuppa I think.

    Those not feeling well please rest, the flying will be there when you are better.

    Lunchtime crazy runaround, completed list! Get me. Run out of flash, though...

    Monday - Bathroom andHall/Stairs/Landing
    Level one

    [STRIKE]Clean the sink and toilet
    HH clearing the clutter from these areas (not needed!)
    [/STRIKE]
    Level two
    [STRIKE]Hoover these areas and wash the floors
    Clean bath and or shower
    [/STRIKE]
    Level three
    [STRIKE]Wash any winter coats (kiddies have new ones, and I need a new one - its too big hurrah!)
    [/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Wipe the tiles and windowledges (did bath and shower room last week, so will just do the sink / loo areas and not all the walls)

    My own extras:
    [STRIKE]Defrost FF. Like, today. As Mr T coming tomorrow aft... Need to move stuff into second freezer, which is almost empty.[/STRIKE] Then I'll move it all back and turn second freezer off until winter, I think.
    Give new shed door a second coat of woodstain. And buy it a shiny new rasp / lock thingy. What are they called?
    Have another kids books sort - some of them are far too babyish now, even for my baby!

    FF defrosted, found its little channel hooray so it all just poured into a tub, which I just had to empty a few times so could get on with my work. Have washed inside and rubber seals, but not done drawers yet they are sat on the back step...

    Spoke to boss man and he said he isn't in the office this week, so don't bother about going in :D so WFH all week and not spread the germies
    Bossymoo
