    Hi Boddy :wave:

    Slept like a log last night. Must have been all that scrubbing and cleaning yesterday!

    DD's new bloke has very nice - I approve!

    Work today. Hopefully it'll be quiet so I can get on with other stuff. I told the head honcho the other week that I have spare capacity so during the quiet times in my official job, I help out another department and get paid overtime for that even though I'm doing it during the course of my ordinary day IYSWIM.

    I ought to go out and do the second job this evening but I may leave that until Wednesday.

    I will fly at some point I promise! Thanks for the list Dusty

    Morning all, Rhys has been up and down most of last night. :( My plan is to get the kids up now and crack on with the list. They will all be helping and hopefully sleep better tonight.

    Dusty thanks for the lists.
    Soappie lovely to 'see' you back, hope things settle and improve soon.
    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.

    Morning all :wave:

    Woke up at 2.10am after a nightmare around work ended with me being pelted with stale cake?!?

    Then woke up at 6am to see an hallucinatory hairy caterpillar crawling across the pillow :eek: ...that wakes you up quickly :(

    Not sure writing the listys was such a good idea after all....if it's freed up my brain to implode _pale_

    ETA oh I forgot from my listys today I'm going to:
    Complete and Post Council Tax forms
    Make dentist's appointment

    Rx
    Then I came into the LR to see......a CLEAR horizontal space :T:j:T thanks to flylady' motivation yesterday. True it's a small clear space, but it's a space woop woop

    So while the kettle was boiling and the toaster toasting I put a few bits of recycling into the bin and unpacked a bag of groceries...delivered 16th July :o ...not food I hasten to add. So that's a little teeny bit of kitchen floor unearthed. Go me :)

    Got to go to work now - hope no-one brings cake in :rotfl:

    Have a good day everyone. And THANKYOU xx

    Thanks for the motivation.

    1 load of washing out
    1 load swishing around in the WM (hopefully will get both loads dry before the rain sets in later - they say midday but I'll not hold my breath.

    Bathroom cleaned.

    Pesky mouse has eaten the peanut butter from one of the traps leaving me in fear and trembling again. May have to try one of those ultrasonic repellers. Has anyone tried them? They seem to have mixed reviews and I know it isn't very money saving but I am paranoid desperate!!

    Right, off to have a whizz around with the hoover and remove all visible dust - I'm too scared to probe too deeply!! You may all laugh!!!

    Morning all

    I was up at a reasonable time for the first time in ages. :D As a result, towels are pegged out, WM x1 has just finished and x2 is on. DW emptied, a couple of pans washed by hand and I've already done one round of decluttering in the dining RoD. :j

    Clear those hotspots WIP
    Empty the bin and wash if required
    Silver
    Hoover and mop floors
    Shine your sinks
    Gold
    Wipe the sides
    Clean WM/DW filters
    Wipe out the fridge, use up where required Done not long ago, but going to use up as much as possible before we go away (leaving enough for DS1, who is staying here)

    Morning All

    Working from home today, plenty to be done once the team get the databases all refreshed. Oh joys of being a number cruncher, lol. Still, it's handy having a mini-office in my dining room! (Newly decorating dining room at that!)

    So, have whizzed round to do dailies before getting tots off to nursery, am pleased to report that other than the garage of doom, we are extremely tidy. Just a few clothes I've collected that need putting away.

    My new cabinet arrived at 7.30am, is in the garage of doom awaiting construction. I will attempt that this evening!

    Need to pop to Sainsbobs at lunchtime, low on milk and eggs. Annoying, as I was aiming for a 5xNSD. Still, I have also had an idea about a winter coat. I need a new one this year as I've lost a bit of weight since buying my last one. But I've decided layering is the way to go. I have two long-ish fleece jackets, so I might just get a summer longer length anorak for over the top. Think I saw some in Sainsbobs last time, so might get one of those...

    Anyway, WORK!
