Argh! Dusting is going to have to wait...so is alot of the cleaning stuff. I've managed to trap a nerve or something in my back and certain positions hurt more than others...just rubbing my eye sends a shooting pain up my back and then through my shoulder! Comfortable position is almost laying back in the computer chair with the pressure spread across my shoulderblades/back. I can already see it's going to be one of those days. Computer / letter writing I think today. Will try to do the washing, if I have the washing line low enough to put the stuff out I should be alright.

Morning Flybabes on this beautiful sunny day!! So lovely to see so many newbies :wave: I love the idea of all those houses getting a good clean and declutter

Well, I've tidied every room trying to find the hour I lost at the weekend but cannot find it anywhere I really needed it after my sisters hen day/night and a christening. If you ever want to lose weight try cheerleading, also good for a laugh

Off to finish yesterdays list and start todays. DS playing with his friend.

Have fun. Love

I almost panicked then!!!

The router power cable just snapped.. it is taped together now.. hubby said to wait until he got back from work.. no bloody chance!!! I fixed it myself! clever me!! *pats self on head*

My list of tasks is almost done already. I am skiving off college.. blaming potty training this week.. I can't take her out in knix yet as she isn't ready but I refuse to put her in a nappy so we are staying here.. we will practice knix tomorrow when we go to playgroup.

What's left?

Window cleaning.
cooker/hob cleaning
Sort out fridge make sure anything that needs using soon is at front
ebay gibble into the cupboard under the stairs from whence it came!
Sort a 4th binbag for charity shop just to annoy hubby, lol.
Move toy boxes out of front room into middle room.
Fill the wheelie bin!
BM
Hang out washing/TD
Photograph new heap for ebay.. I have found about 20 girly dresses to go.. cleared a huge space in my wardrobe for hubby's new shirts and suits.

Fly fly fly.... Didn't I say this week I would be remotivated and start anew?!!

Well done on being a governor pigpen How is your stepfather today?

The sun is just coming through here, it's been very misty and cool. Washing has been out for hours but just starting to dry a bit now.

I've cut the grass front and back, trimmed the edges and swept up out there. Then I vacuumed through the kitchen, hallway and living room. That's it for today I'm afraid apart from the normal things like cooking and washing up. I've had something on my mind which was bothering me but that's sorted out now so tomorrow should be better. Hopefully.

He is still in hospital.. it sin't a heart attack but he has something on his ECG they don't like and they are running more tests because they have no idea what it is, he is also most pee'd off because they've put him on a proper ward now rather than AAU.

I reckon it is something to do with the amount of alcohol consumed.. but we shall have to wait and see!

Thanks for asking.

Okay, I've managed to wash the dishes (turning around fully instead of just twisting helped as did not stretching), and fortunately the bathroom was S&S'd before I hurt my back. I've put a wash load in the machine and I've spent the rest of the morning sitting here with a wheatbag on my back/shoulder. It's helping to ease the dull ache almost to the point of it gone...then I go and do something (like lifting the kettle :doh: ) and it starts hurting again! The pain is now more my left shoulder and not so much my back, but since it keeps moving depending on how I'm sitting/standing I'm not going to try and diagnose what I've done :rolleyes:

OH has let me know that the car failed its MOT on 2 tyres :mad: Fortunately Kwik Fit do a free retest if it's within a certain amount of time. Apparently it's going to cost about £250 for 2 new tyres (long commutes = lots of wear on the tyres) and for the rebalancing etc :rolleyes: No option but to put it on the credit card as neither of us has the "cash" to pay for it. :idea: Just had an idea that OH approves off so I'll be paying on my card and then seeing how far we can make the money stretch for the rest of the month and OH will pay for DD's party food (£30 max including a cake), a pressie (£5-20 depending on what, where and how!) and then we've a trip to his parents place for Easter :rolleyes: We should just manage it.

Right, I'm getting this letter to the tax man drafted (for OH to approve, print & sign....I'm more moneysavy & I understand the mathematical procedures more than OH who just sort of nods and goes with whatever is said ) :wave:

I will see how i get on today, as i also have the dreaded interview, and the trauma of leaving the baby. :rolleyes: Was also up fairly late helping DH do the VAT return for work. Luckily i didn't hear the baby before 7 today so i feel ok - not too tired.

Alot of us know the trauma of leaving our little one for the first time and can really sympathise. When I first went back to work I dropped dd at the childminder and sobbed all the way to work - luckily the girls at work were very sympathetic and sat me down with a cuppa before we got going. Once you're working, if you're very busy, you don't have too much time to think about the littlies thank goodness.

Anyway, GOOD LUCK with the interview!:grinheart

Good afternoon everyone,

Well, so far today i have done nothing!!! Ive been to Tescos, bought a load of reduced items, so had a sort out of the freezer (i suppose) so i could get the bargains in!!!
Ive also done some MS phone calls, so they are out of the way and i now need to get moving and start on the living room, before we have to go and collect the children from school!!! Planning on walking (have the last 3 days to collect them) as its a beautiful day (have all the windows open to air the house, its lovely!!!) and its about time i got some exercise - and now the LOs i look after are older, they can cope with the 2 hills we have to treak up!!

Right - better do something,
Have a good afternoon,
Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
