Well, I did pln to have this afternoon to sort car for ready for caravan, but the head asked me, while I was in b'fast club to work this afternoon. So finished at 3:30, took DD to get a halloween wig, then took her to her halloween party at 5, came back, done some ironing, picked her up at 6 and took her to Brownies for 6:30. I have clothes ready for the weekend just in case I have to work tomorrow. DD's room and the main bedroom are looking good. I'll sort out what needs to go in suitcase in the morning.

Hope all have had a good day xx

(Started writing this at 9 and lost internet!!!! Now it's 11:57, hopefully will go through ) xx

so glad I am recording what I am doing.....so much for a gentle flying day, but after nearly 2 weeks with you fly ladies and fly gents my house is straighter than it has ever looked, and I can say hand on heart I would not be embarrassed it someone turned up out of the blue, albeit I wouldn't take them in the study atm! but the rest of the house is looking great!

feeling like I might actually be able to go into the study for an extended period tomorrow and do some serious froggy filing, without it grinding everything else to a halt .....

night one and all, catch up with you [STRIKE]in the morning[/STRIKE] later this morning

Morning all. Did just the dailies yesterday, although Jazee's joint looks ok thanks to this thread. Will probably be just the dailies today too around the paid stuff, but I have written myself a very optimistic list and am planning a HHI.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning all,

Plan was to go to toddler group this morning, but DS has been coughing so not sure now. Will see what he's like in an hour. Don't want him coughing all over the babies...

We might go for a walk instead, doesnt look frosty like the forecast warned...

Dustykitten

Morning peeps - yay it's Friday and the last day of this half term.

Morning dailies nearly done, off out with a friend for most of the day so will be flying later.
