Morning all
Been up since 6.15 when DD came in all excited about going to summer school :j I managed to get her sorted and we headed out about 7.40 to school as I was expecting a queue at the cash machine & in the shop but there wasn't so we were at school for 8.15 when she was supposed to be there for 8.45ishThey're being really good though and giving her a personal timetable instead of being in her group so she doesn't have to stand and watch when her allocated group are doing sports. So in theory she will get to do a little bit of everything
They've also been informed she won't be there first thing Friday due to physio. I'll speak to them more about her later when I've had a chance to put my thinking head on as my mind went blank

Right, I'm off to make a few more phonecalls while I remember. I could get used to being this productive this early in the morning:rotfl:
Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0 - Livingroom:
-
In my HHC I have
- swept and washed bathroom floor (S&S was done earlier)
- found cobwebs *under* the bathroom cupboard doors (spiders obviously lying low!) and got rid of them
- dusted bedroom including clearing bedside cabinets
- remade the bed (sheets and pillowcases already washed this morning)
- vacuumed 3 bedroom floors and halfway down the stairs
- sorted hangers for HHI this evening
- unloaded WM and put another load in
My back is aching so I will simply *have* to have a coffee break now!
Will finish downstairs later. Have to get ahead with the list as going out tomorrow to visit DD and DGSs before DGS1 starts school - and it's DD's birthday on Thursday so I can take her present.
