    Just got back from the shops. Having a 5 minute sit down before I put all the shopping away (no freezer stuff and all the fridge stuff is in a coolbag in the shade so will be okay for a littlebit) rather shocked when I got to the till and it came up at £49 :eek: Mind you I did buy some extras of cereal, meat (got enough to do us the whole month) and some other bits. Not bad I suppose but I could have done better. Nearly killed me walking home with it all as the coolbag is a rucksack so I had that FULL to bursting point, plus a shoppingtrolley and a carrier bag. It's not even that warm yet and I'm boiling from the effort :o Starting to cool down now I've had a pint of water.

    I need to crack on and get some jobs done so I can hopefully pop out this afternoon to visit cousins, if they get back from the hospital in time :rolleyes: Oh well, the meat won't but its self away so I better shift myself :wave:

    went to bed last night with terrible headache its just easying off now, so this morning gave bathroom a quick going over, stripped the kids beds and then hubby took me morrisons before he went work so i could see what they had on their bargain table loads of fruit , veg and salad stuff so fridge is now full.

    ds and dd3 have to do their own rooms i just give it a quick tidy now and again . so im going to do the downstairs shower room and give kitchen and living room a quick going over, just waiting for wm to finish so i can hang the load out and put anther in. Need a cuppa first though.

    Hello again - another quick pit stop. Not doing too badly today. Am off to tidy the kitchen and do a bit in the utility now. Am allowed out to play later. Hooray!

    [STRIKE]Wash bed linen and clean window for DD1 [/STRIKE](may dust as well if I feel inspired!)
    Have done this for DD1 and DD2 and their beds are now made up and all fresh. Also dusted in DD1's room and cleaned the window

    [STRIKE]Finish ensuite

    Clean bathroom[/STRIKE] - cleaned dust off heated towel rail and panels on the doors too!

    Remove germs from laptop!!

    [STRIKE]Playschool run (x2)

    School run (x1)[/STRIKE]

    Swish and swipe kitchen

    Clear junk from utility room

    [STRIKE]1 load of washing[/STRIKE] - - Now in the dryer

    [STRIKE]Make pizza for tea (need to get some fresh veggies to put on the top!) [/STRIKE]veggies bought, breadmaker on - under control I think

    [STRIKE]Do a 27 fling thing in my disaster area![/STRIKE] (if feeling brave!) - unpacked a box of junk from DD1's room from when we moved 2 years ago, so feel I've done my bit for today!

    Right, it feels good to cross things off the list. Must empty dishwasher and S and S kitchen next, then it's on to the utility. Computer may have to wait until tomorrow though.

    Hope everyone else is doing ok, and look forward to reading all the posts properly later!
    Bye
