    Morning everyone :) Not doing too badly already. Want to get my bedding washed today though rather than wait for it to come around so that should keep me busy. Also still making on with straightening kitchen and reorganising cupboards (doing this bit at a time so it's taking flipping months!)

    I seem to have been away for ages but DH has gone back to work today so I should have more time. I am going to be working from my own list quite a lot over the next three weeks while I have more spare time. We still have our cleaner but I am starting to think it would be easier for me to do it again. I am going to concentrate on decluttering and getting some order to our smallest bedroom and then I'm going to discuss with DH about not having her anymore. I have left what I need to do on the list and will add my list at the bottom.

    I know - I think her brother had it last week (he and OH came home early from London due to work/cricket commitments!) - he sweated his way through it, but she begged to see the GP.

    She is back in my bed again.....

    and the nurse gave us medicine (DD2 can't swallow tablets) - 2 spoons twice day for 5 days, but according to my Maths she's given us enough for 10 days....

    Off to get the stuff and then to Iceland to buy some strong flavoured icecream as DD2 is a wimp!

    Tonsils are very silly lately. We've all had it here over the last few weeks.

    Well, we slept in this morning, after a giddy night where both tots ended up n bed with me. But they are bundled off to nursery, I did a very quick whizz round @ldi, and home again to work.

    So it's just a quick check in to say, I'm here, might flap a bit, but still trying to take things easy. I'd say level one.

    Thanks for the list and here's to a more peaceful week for all...

    Morning all

    up bright and early considering it's the hols. Have read Chapter 1 of the book I have to read for work (honestly!)

    If £146M was dropping into my bank account today I would be resigning with immediate effect *dreams and sighs wistfully*

    As it isn't I'm off to the PO to post stuff - ebay sales - stuff I, at one time, would have binned! How life has changed.

    *Slurps :coffee:*

    Anyone ready for elevenses? :coffee::coffee:

    Thanks for the new list Dusty, I'm in and hoping to do better than last week when I didn't get off the starting blocks - too much watching of Olympics and not enough pushing the vac round :o

    Hi guys. I'm back from Brum and am in this week. Just realised I will have 2 houses to fly in from October. Agggggghhh.

    Also just heard from garage that my car is not worth repairing so I now have to find the money for a new car as well as all the expenses of buying and outfitting a new house. It never rains but it pours.
