    Might bung a few things on ebay free listing. Going to make DS1 do a car boot with me next month but I think we have too much to even get in my large estate!

    Morning All

    I've been up since 5.30 as DH got in bed at 5 after doing a night shift and I couldn't get back to sleep. I've just been doing paperwork and stuff. I also put the WM on which has just finished so I need to empty that. Not sure what the plan of action is today yet.

    Happy Birthday mummyroysof3 - have a wonderful day!

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    I've been trying to catch up so have forgotten everything - please take (((hugs))), congratulations as required.

    I am feeling particularly dopey this morning, even though I've been up nearly two hours, although Mr B's alarm did go off at 5. Not sure if it's the medication or lack of sleep!

    Definitely need to find some GUAG - lots of little jobs on the list today, so hope there's fewer by the end of today!

    Might need to have eggy bread for lunch - used to make that at Guide camp.

    Morning all -

    Wm x2 9finished)
    TD x 1 (finished - thought it was going to rain)
    DW x 1 - finished

    I have a delay on the WM and woke at 5:30 to transferred the WM to the TD and switched on the DW (Economy 7;))

    There's LOADS I want to get through today - now that the DR furniture is out of the LR I want to make it look cleared and clean agin; put rest of cupboard contents back in DR - I have washed ornaments and glassware so that's been a long ongoing job, a drainerfull at a time, but they all are gleaming now.
    (Although they're dusted regularly a good wash of the stuff works wonders; I don't wash my Crown Derby though!)

    I also need to change 2 beds; iron; go to PO; list on flea bay; clean hall & stairs & PC area.

    s'pose I ought to make a start!

    Valli's list

    Change my bed
    change DS's bed
    spray flea stuff upstairs again
    vacuum upstairs
    spray flea stuff in lounge
    clean lounge
    spray flea stuff hall etc
    clean hall etc
    bathroom
    kitchen
    Post parcels (one return; one ebay)

    Oh!

    well - I DO hope the Vallikids are going to their dad's!

    Morning all

    LW - DS2 and I have eggy bread/French toast without salt and pepper. We like it with fresh fruit and chocolate dessert sauce (DS2) or plain yogurt and honey (me).

    I'm cross with myself for achieving so little, so that's got to change today. At least I've got a new power lead/adaptor thingy for my PC and DS2 has new school shoes and trainers. He enjoyed his time in the lego shop (did Lord of the Rings quest and played)

    We didn't make it to Decathlon or Go Outdoors because we went with a friend and I took DS1 to his interview first. No news on the job yet - they said they'd let him know. Company doesn't have a good reputation as employers, but at the moment anything would be a start. DS2 is at a footie party this afternoon, so I'll send him and DH to look for a new top (needs one anyway), birthday card and gift voucher for the birthday boy. I'm going to get on with the list while they're out. DW is already on and I have WMx2 to dry. Not looking hopeful outside.

    Hope everyone has a good weekend. x
