    Morning ladies

    Getting up is a rea problem for me at the moment, goodness knows what I will do next week when I have to be out of the house by 730!

    Am breakfasted and cuppad up and DH is away with the car so need to shower and crack on. Think I reall need to work off list this morning so that it looks like I can actually achieve something instead of the faffing about I have done for nearly 2 weeks :o

    In the mean time

    Welcome the-mango
    Pigpen - I hope you slept well
    Msgnomey - Have fun with the brownies
    Welcome LimeSorbet and thanks for the cake. As for power washing dont do what my husband did when he bought a super duper powerful one and washed the car with it :eek: it never did shine after that even when polished
    Amyloofoo - I'm confused DS is usually your son but the baby will be your niece?
    Mrs Chaos - glad pusscats ok

    Right seems like DH is at the front door, probably without his keys so I better find him

    Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!

    Morning all :D

    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 8.45ish :o They'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 :D 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 :o

    Work phoned, carrier phoned (work couldn't help :(), permission slips & copy of the doctors note handed in, forms ready for council. Time for a coffee. ;)

    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.
    :-))
