    Thanks for the gentle boot, Bonnie; lounge, hall and bathroom have been duly cleaned; I also did HHWiiFit.:T

    I now have some of my voluntary paperwork that's turned up today, so I'm about to see how much there actually is, and get it shifted.:o

    Level Three
    Sort the baking cupboard - do you need anything for festive baking?
    Clean a window
    Extras
    Make playdates, appointments for next week

    The much shortened lists shown above don't really tell a tale of my flying today. I have donned my gas mask, strapped on my air supply and dressed in protective clothing..... I have mucked out the 2 eldest boys bedrooms.:eek:

    Sadly the tidying up I did downstairs yesterday has all been undone by my messy family. The washing machine has been on since 7am this morning (results of mucking out teenagers rooms). Ditto the TD.

    On the plus side 3 ebay parcels posted, house insurance quotes obtained. New policy bought and 300 quid saved with a lower excess.:money:

    I need to get on with dinner now. DH is on his way home to collect DS1 & 2 to take them to watch Orient. I think they are mad as they are also getting up at 5am to go to Alt0n T0wers.

    Hi

    Sorry, haven't had a chance to read the thread today but just came on to update where I am.

    Had to check my e-mails "quickly" before doing this and just saw that I nearly missed a £20 off Tesco coupon that had got lost in my inbox. An hour later I've deleted over 1000 e-mails and placed an emergency Tesco order to make use of the £20 off before it expires :eek:

    Anyway......

    Bossymoo, have forwarded your car prep for winter instructions to DH and DD. They can't say they haven't been told. Very thorough. You are ready for the icy blast at the end of the week.

    Today has been a bad news day for me so no flying except the dailies (washing up still not done, it actually can wait till tomorrow now) and very little paid stuff done either, as so distracted.

    hello
    all

    very pleased with e bay sales *fling*

    have realt, really, struggled today - slept badlylast night and I have wheezed, sneezed and coughed all day.. Couldn't decide whether the high temp was a hot flush; given the accompanying perspiration and the fact that I am now FREEZING it probably wasn't.

    I might just be very kind to myself and not go in tomorrow.

    Yes, be kind to yourself, your colleagues and those kiddies by staying at home. The world won't stop and you'll be better to enjoy next week.

    Glad to be of assistance ma'am *bows* Hope you did take it easy though, and please rest this evening as well. I can fuss from afar... :D

    Soooo much laundry... only 2 of us here though, where the [STRIKE]f [/STRIKE]devil does it come from :eek:

    Off to unload/load again, before settling down to watch 'The Paradise' with DD :)
