    have signed up for BT infinity - at the moment I'm with 2 separate providers for landline and internet and I'm just at the end of the internet contract. Done through Quidco so it looks like cash back AND a voucher for Mr S!
    So, if I go missing...:rotfl:

    Thanks, valli. I'll use checking this out as a reward for chomping some kitchen frogs! I've been waiting for someone from BT to call me since the beginning of the holidays (they called a few weeks before and I asked them to phone back) as I'm fed up with talktalk and the contract is up for renewal. Sorting it myself and getting something back sounds very tempting.

    Oops, buildings & contents insurance is also on the list for tonight. I'd almost forgotten. :(

    Hi all

    Done some flying this morning before friend and daughter came for lunch and play (she's lovely but boy is she loud, and it was catching, as my two became even louder than usual too, lol, they had great fun)

    Monday - kitchen and dining room
    Level one
    [STRIKE]Sweep and mop floors[/STRIKE]
    Level Two
    [STRIKE]Wipe worksurfaces and small appliances[/STRIKE]
    Run the large appliances through a clean cycle
    Level Three
    Clean out the fridge
    [STRIKE]Wipe the hob and oven
    Clean the table and replace cloth/T towels/washing up sponges etc[/STRIKE]

    DW is on but full, and I'm running down the fridge before our hols.

    I think the BD is trying to chase me too. I feel a bit drained after being at a wedding this weekend. Tired of putting on my party face for everyone. Also starting to feel a little anxious about the holiday.

    Still, I have got our suitcase down, got our swimmies together and the kids clothes. Tonight I will sort our washbag and my swimmies. Working tomorrow, in office, but wfh on Wednesday. Thursday at home with tots and getting our last bits and bobs together.

    Sooo tired my head feels too heavy for my neck...

    Glad you've posted Goodintentions saw the news and hoped you weren't caught up in it x

    Awww, thanks. I didn't think anyone would have missed me :o

    I have cleaned the kitchen work surfaces and given the microwave a good wipe round inside & out. I then exploded some quiche in it, so had to wipe it again :o Washing up done, DH has washed up the BBQ. I have also decluttered 2 episodes of 'Enders & 1 of Corrie. I have some catching up to do!

    I am going to make another cuppa, and then choose 1 thing from my list and just DO it, instead of flitting around and doing a little bit of everything and not achieving anything :( Now, what to choose....... (procrastination is my middle name!)

    DD1 is doing online job applications and getting very frustrated :( Some good luck vibes would be appreciated :)
