Been working hard the last few days, started on the garden too now the weather has warmed up a bit. Spent ages hacking honeysuckle off the trellis that blew down in the gales a while back. Now need to reattach the trellis and try to weave what's left of the honeysuckle back through it.

Almost finished delousing DD, I bought a Nitty Gritty comb from Boots on Friday as I wanted to get it over and done with as soon as poss, and having just checked the website, I've found that you can get it on prescription, which means that if you have little ones it's free, see this link:
Nitty gritty on prescription.

Happy flying everyone, think tomorrow should be fairly easy for me as I got the kitchen sparkly last week for its photo shoot.

Got a really busy week coming up trying to sort work out before I go away on Saturday and a few things on evenings so going to be hard to keep on top of my flying. However, determined to leave the house sparkly and tidy (as I usually leave it a tip when I go away and it's awful coming back to it like that) so going to make a real effort this week.

I will be leaving the house at 7.15 in the morning and will only be home for about half an hour tomorrow evening before going out on a Market Research group and won't then be back home until around 11pm, so have got ahead of myself and started tomorrow's list already - set the timer for 20 minutes and really went for it!

Happy new summer-time week, everyone!
Having to use DS2's nap time for a meeting for a potential host for the Spanish students tomorrow, so will have to be ruthless and allow no prevarication.
Managed to clear the ironing pile & the washing pile this weekend, and caught up with all the toddler group fundraising stuff I had to organise, so I should be OK. Determined to take control of finances, now I have control of the house, so that is my main extra-curricular activity this week.
Have taken on one 'favour' last week - to recover some cushions, so I'll have to factor that into the evenings. Shouldn't be too bad now that the laundry is under control! I'm also limiting all TV watching to only when I am doing something else constructive and only to watch planned shows (Corrie, corrie and more corrie!)
Ok so here goes (and it is a lot less daunting this week than last week!)

Got loads of stuff out of it today and have enough to have a car boot sale. Feels good to have broke the back of it anyway and looks soooooooooo much better. Am whacked now xx

Work - where I am at the moment;

Still to do:
Groceries;
Dinner;
Puppy starts Obedience classes tonight - and boy does she need it!

Will do a general tidy up before bed - but that's about it for me today.

I ask myself - why do I bother?
Darling DH, whom i love enormously, father of my children and provider of dosh for me to be very very very careful with, has just left for work with the parting shot 'Darling, perhaps you could be a little less efficient with the paper work? - I used to know where everything was'.
I clarify that in the 'used to' days the paperwork was littered around the house wherever he had opened it, complete with empty envelopes and was frequently at the mercy of DS1's writings and cuttings, and fast catching up, DS2's scribblings.
