    Asthma check and Flu jab later

    DS2 has his first after school club tonight at his new school if he can stay out of trouble. I don't know why I had to fight so hard to get him a statement as no one seems to read it.

    I'm trying to defrost the chilli I asked if I could freeze a couple of weeks ago. It has been in the fridge overnight and is still solid. I'm hoping to use it this evening.

    WM is on.

    Well, I have been in the office for over an hour already again. I can barely keep my eyes open, so have been very non-os and bought myself 2 coffee's from the canteen.

    I'm all confused this week, so will have a bit of an update here to organise myself for later, as I'm not planning on staying late today:

    Monday - Kitchen and Hall

    [/STRIKE]Level Two

    [STRIKE]HHMe time[/STRIKE][STRIKE]
    [/STRIKE]Clean out your cutlery drawer
    [STRIKE]Dust and deweb - Halloween has gone![/STRIKE][STRIKE]
    [/STRIKE]Extras
    HHI
    Polish some shoes
    [STRIKE]Empty all the bins[/STRIKE]

    Tuesday - Living Room and Dining Room
    Level One
    [STRIKE]Clear and wipe table/coffee table - don't pile it all back put it away![/STRIKE][STRIKE]
    [/STRIKE]Level Two
    [STRIKE]Hoover floors[/STRIKE][STRIKE]
    [/STRIKE]Hoover/wipe sofas - give the cushions a bash outside
    Level Three
    Sort out a cupboard/drawer/display cupboard - do you need all that stuff tucked away at the back?
    Dust/wipe lampshades
    [STRIKE]Eat a frog[/STRIKE][STRIKE]
    [/STRIKE]Extras
    [STRIKE]Do something that makes you happy[/STRIKE][STRIKE]
    [/STRIKE]Update your calendar/diary

    Wednesday - Study/conservatory/spare bedroom/kids room (choose one)
    Level One
    [STRIKE]HH tidying up and putting away[/STRIKE][STRIKE]
    [/STRIKE]Level Two
    Dust at least one flat surface
    Change a bed (human or pet)
    Level Three

    OK so my main catch ups are a bit of ironing, clean the sofas, some more laundry, strip and remake my bed (kids done) and start pricing for the nearly new sale at the weekend. The last two need to be the priority, really!

    Yesterday I managed to get some level 2 flying done and a lot of work too. This morning I am going to go out with my son and his carers and OH is coming tonight. So today's aims are to get to gym to do physio, vacuum stairs and change my bed. Also need to prepare for tomorrow's work task which is giving a talk to some trainees. Although if I run out of time that could be done on the train on the way there.
    I am really enjoying the feeling of getting things under control!! Thanks guys!

    [/STRIKE] I've made a shopping list and a Christmas gift list does that count? :)

    Marking off about changing the bed reminded me, we have a new dog! :D
    After having to say goodbye to our beautiful Max I swore I'd never get another dog, but it felt so right when we saw her on gumtree that we had to get her.
    We travelled 150ish miles to get her, she was advertised as a Jug (jack russell x pug) but when we saw her we knew she wasn't. She's border terrier cross something :rotfl: maybe schnauzer, she's about 7-8 months now and we renamed her Penny after the girl in The Big Bang Theory (we love that programme :D ) She was called Princess Bubbles :eek::o when we got her.

    Anyway off to do some work TTFN

    note to self p 6

    bit of flying done at work - holiday/homework projects are coming in and they are AWESOME - I'm very proud of my class!
    They needed arranging beautifully; given the amount of work they've done.

    Been to see Skyfall - jumped and flinched but WOW!


    Glad I wasn't the only one to jump and flinch! And to find it WOW!

    Up at sparrow's cough! Walk decluttered. DS decluttered to work. 2 washloads done.

    Off to have another cuppa then it's time to start the list!
    :jFlylady and proud of it:j

    bossy all kids do things at different times there is no right or wrong age. The time is right for you and your little one when you both decide it is. my 5 all did different things at differnt ages, it does sound like shes starting to make the decision for herself as she recognises that she wants to go and knows where to do it. so give it a try BUT if things dont work out put it off for a while. dont worry about getting stressed over it just put things off a bit longer if that starts to happen. as you have said it could be the distraction you need to help you through the coming weeks. HUGS to you all and "high five" to your lovely little one.
