    so much bad news - big hugs to all those who need it.

    Pigpen - you might be interested in some free access to an old open univeristy course on duties of school governers http://labspace.open.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=1502

    Busy few days at work but home today, with some flying to do - not too bad really as I do have a good tidy round on a nightly basis. I think the biggest difference the flylady stuff made for me (apart from making me clean the whole place thoroughly originally) is making me do a little bit every day so that it is never that bad again. Such a change from the knee deep pit of junk we were living in a year ago.

    Bit cloudy so not too tempted to go outside instead where I need to get on with weeding the borders. DS1 is 4 on Monday so we need to go shopping for some bits for a family party at the weekend. He is still clean and dry, now gets indignant when you ask him if he needs to go :T .

    I still havent sorted the toy boxes out :o . Someone kick me......

    Morning All Firdayits.gif

    Woke up feeling much better back wise except I slept in. I had 7-8 hours sleep last night and I feel no better than I do when I have 5 :confused: Must just be becuase it's "that time" :(

    I managed to get some jobs done yesterday after I'd posted on here last. The kitchen looked fantastic (except for the pile of dirty towels waiting to go in the WM) and the livingroom looked good as well, now they don't :rolleyes: I've got a list of food related jobs to do in the kitchen now that I have finally managed to get some space in the freezer. :rotfl: PLUS I want to tackle our ironing pile - OH won't be happy, but I want him to do bigger jobs over the weekend out in the garden and some painting which NEEDS to be done. ;)

    Oh well. My list looks something like this now :
    • Dailies
      • Beds
      • Bathroom S&S
      • Dishes
      • Kitchen S&S
      • Evening meal - Fish, Chips & mushy peas :D :drool:
      • Post - praying my new book arrives
      • Hotspot - EBAY PILE
    • Livingroom
      • Tidy
    • Stairs (incl. hall & landing)
      • Hoover or sweep
      • Dust & wipe banister rail.
    • Bedrooms - both!
      • Hoover (sorry...not under the bed this time. I did that Monday)
      • Dust with feather duster
      • Wipe windows over.
    • Ironing.
    My priority today (after the kitchen has been sorted) is to get the ebay pile done. I have about 4 crispbox sixed boxes to go through and photograph and then they need to go under our bed (the whole reason I cleared it :o ) so that I can then put the bookcase back in that area ready for the IL's coming Thursday as there is no room to move in the sitting area ATM.

    Right, time for the school run. Better be off. :wave:

    Stripped and remade my bed, done two loads of washing and spread it round indoors - it's raining.

    Vacuumed all bedrooms and landing, after dusting bedrooms.

    Don't have to cook today because we've got stew left from yesterday - hooray!

    Going to watch Waterloo Road in a minute.
  • So far today I've managed to put on one load of washing, drink 2 cups of tea and eat a flapjack!
    Really need to get flying.

    DS has had a great day already not only did he get a plethora of certificates in assembly he also won a prize in the Easter raffle. So he's be a happy (easter) bunny.

    I'm really going to go and clean something now......
    ...it is not of more importance than daily life, which I have an enduring wish to make as useful and beautiful as possible.

    Good morning everyone (just)

    Been quite busy this morning - have made the beds, leaned the bathroom and toilets, swished the kitchen, put the recycling out and made Easter chicks with the LOs!!!! They are now eating the lunch, whilst i decide what i will have for mine!!!
    So, still to do today will be to give the living room a quick swish, clean the downstairs loo (will do that when the LOs have gone home) and also hoover through downstairs, another job for when they have gone home.
    School uniforms and lunch boxes will be cleaned/washed later once they are home, and then put away for the next 2 week, yea!!!!
    Right, better check on the LOs, have a great day, ((HUGS)) to all who need/want one xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Nothing done so far except photographing ebay stuff! On my last box now so hopefully I should just have enough time to get them all photographed (the most space taking part!) before leaving to pick DD up at 1.30! Oh and I've had a speed flick through my new book *grin* I'll let you all know how "Anthea" does it later LOL.

    *runs off to find where she put the camera when the post man arrived*

    I'm not having a good day.. the hours are flying by.. I have spent all morning feeding the children and the afternoon paying my many bills and working out new totals of who we owe how much to.. irritating stuff... New balances on siggy strip!!

    I have a blinding headache from staring at the pc monitor for 3 hours straight!

    The WM's have both been on though.. I am flinging the wet stuff in the TD's in a moment and reloading them both. The DW needs loading and the BM as well.

    I have found some more stuff to ebay so I'll photograph that once I have done the above tasks.

    Away we go!!!!
