    I'm in this week, thanks again for the list juliejim.

    -do PPI forms for Dad for Late Mum.

    Eeeeeeeeeeeeek just realised how far behind I am with absolutely everything, taking my foot of the gas all summer may not have been a good move.

    Pencil case done by DS3
    DS3 20 pages of book to be read by tomorrow done - 44 to go
    DS2 doing the homework he has then his pencil case
    I've filled the form in for school and tried to chase the bus card but no luck as everybody else is doing the same thing

    Right to my Mother's paperwork

    A miracle occurred yesterday when I reminded DH that his good shoes needed polishing before we went to church and he did it without falling into a black hole of depression.

    An ever greater miracle occurred this morning when he gave his work shoes a quick clean without my having said anything at all. He has been so unhappy at work that just getting there has been a major effort, let alone getting there looking tidy. It seems that at last his BD really is beginning to lose its bite.
    :)

    2 loads of washing done so far and hung out, another one spinning as I type
    Bathroom S&S'd
    Kitchen Levels One, Two and Extras DONE - will wipe the cupboard fronts when the kettle is boiling for my next cup of coffee, then everything will be crossed off today's flying list :)
    LR tidied, other rooms still fine (except study, which is currently gaining piles of papers rather than losing them - but I will file them this evening)
    A friend phoned to declutter some of her worries
    Downloaded a free image for the website - I think I have solved a major problem with the website design! :)

    I will carry on feeding the WM, make myself that cup of coffee (not forgetting the kitchen cupboard and drawer fronts) and get back to work on the website again.

    Wishing everyone a sunny day.

    Morning All

    Hope you are all well, I am in again this week, thanks for the lists Juliejim well weekend never went as I planned. I was going to spend all day ironing yesterday but ended up totally gutting DS’s room, cleared out wardrobe etc as well. We also had a big roast dinner yesterday so kitchen got a good going over last night. I just don’t seem to have the time to post unless at work, I thought with DS starting school, it would be easier but got more to do at night now!

    Valli - I went on the Boots Appliances site, didn’t go for the Bosch one, went for a Beko which had a rating of 4.9/5.0 and was more in my price range, thanks for informing me, I didn’t even know Boots done appliances, so its being delivered on Friday.

    My dining table is in the LR so no dining room for me, will cross off whats been done.

    Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Level Two
    mop floors
    Level Three
    Wipe cupboard/ drawer fronts and kickboards
    Clean filters on appliances _ DW only, WM going away on Thurs
    Extras
    Empty all bins
    HHI x 2
    [STRIKE]HH Paperwork[/STRIKE] substitute with another HHI

    yep, same here but need to crack on when I get home tonight as 2 sales this weekend, one vintage on Saturday and on Sunday, one record and book sale. Plenty of vacuuming in my future along with shifting boxes of stuff:D
