    I have actually done all the things on my list, not many I know, so:

    Dogs are walked and bathed
    Washing is dry and away
    Living room is vacuumed
    Winter clothes sorted out and charity bag full
    Pottering in garden done
    Yesterday's paper read
    Puzzle done (got to keep the brain in gear)
    Chicken in slow cooker

    I am going to put my feet up now if the doggies will let me. I have a cuppa and cupcake calling me.

    hello all

    been to watch DS play football in Clay Cross - he drove there, I drove back. I directed him to turn into a one way street that was one way the other way :eek: but we live to fight another day (we halted and changed direction;))

    Home via Mr M to pick up stuff for lunch. logged onto banking last night - there would appear to be a problem with the utility bill - I took my eyes off the ball and the monthly DD has doubled.
    So HM rice pudding for pudding;)
    and veggies prepared for stew to go in SC tomorrow morning for tea; I just need to dice the tiny bit of meat they'll be cooked with, now. They can be served with left over potato from today*insert skinflint smily*


    and, on my frog list

    acces and print out all utility bills with new provider and go through them with a fine toothcomb and check the meter readings and prepare to read meter regularly.

    That'll be fun.

    but first - work work

    Hi Ladies :wave:

    OH has been a darling:A on Friday when I was at my 'other' job, he hoovered the whole house, did all the washing, TD it, folded it, and put it in the airing cupboard, pair all the socks up, (still had 4 left over!!) and had dinner cooking for when I got in, all I had to do was eat it, and he did the washing up / started the DW as well!!! (all that training I have put in over the years is paying off!:rotfl:)

    Been car booting today, blimey it was cold at the bowl the wind was blowing right across the place, but still sold a lot of 'items of interest':T

    Somewhere along the way in the last few days I have had a cold, and now I have lost my voice, which to the amusement of the regulars at the bowl where I car boot, and OH, he now reckons he can get several words in edgways. :rotfl::D

    No voice and tomorrow, I start 'full time work at ' my other job' for 6 months, which should be fun as I am customer facing and have to talk to them all day! Goodness knows what the manager is going to say to her 'newbie' when I turn up tomorrow,:o I really don't want to call in sick on the 1st day of a new contact, it will NOT look good.

    Hopefull fingerscross, although I have been there for some time as a temp, they will put me on induction for the day, if not I am going to ask for a back of house admin job.!

    I don't know what has come over me today. Doggies let me put my feet up and I had a nap with them for 15 minutes. Then I had some more GUAG so I vacuumed & swept through whole house. Recycling is out too.

    This is good though as I'm away for 3 days this week so only have 2 days for flying around the paid stuff, so I'm kind of already ahead.

    Wonder if the mob will keep Jazee's joint clean while I'm gone?

    Well, I have said to DS that when Mr Bloom is finished, he needs to put his train set away. Then I went out into conservatory to survey the atrocity. DD followed me and said "I helpy" and picked up all the teddies. Then DS joined us and picked up his cars. So I reminded him about his trains, and he's put them all away.

    I gave them both a squeeze for volunteering, and told them we are a good team, and we did high fives, lol. Then DS got the cordless carpet sweeper and did the living room floor! :A bless his little sockies, he's not yet 4!

    They are now sat munching jam on toast watching Justin's House, next stop bubbly bath.

    Aww, very pleased with my little angels, let's hope bedtime is as pleasant!
