Squeaky, well my hotspots somewhere alone, warm but not too hot, but only in my head, nice place to escape to when I need it
Not got much done yet, been at DS1s appointment then had to get him sorted, fed and down to school. Started on bedroom but by no means finished. Needed a cuppa to get me goingForgot that Post Office closed here Tuesdays so will have to wait to post as my cars poorly
so can't get anywhere else to post this afternoon.
Dogs been out, sheets washed, most dailies done, just about to go put the spare duvet cover on when I have finished my coffee. Take noo noo up there when I go to vacuum up there, plus window cleaning cloth etc which I forgot last time. Hotspots hidden, under my bed, everything ends up under there, ok it's in boxed but under there, going to sort at least one today.
Right off to catch up on other threads, then get stuck in, keep up the good work everyonettfn
One day I might be more organised...........

My post from last night seems to have vanished into thin air and it nearly did it again - not sure if its our PC and something to do with changin ISP but it's not the same as before :eek:
I will sway from lil_me's list today as I change the bedding on a Friday and the master bedroom is needing several hours spent on it and I don't have that much time on a Tuesday, so I will leave it until later in the week. So my list looks like -- [STRIKE]Daily[/STRIKE] & Nightime routines
- lounge - [STRIKE]declutter[/STRIKE], [STRIKE]hoover and dust[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]bathroom[/STRIKE] & ensuite - make shine
- [STRIKE]pot out bedding plants [/STRIKE]and plant more seeds - carrots, lettuce, radish & beans
- [STRIKE]kitchen floor - I ran out of energy last night SO WILL DO TONIGHT[/STRIKE]
My hotspot is one that will take me all week but I have started to clear out all the clothes from DD1 which I have been keeping for DD2 as I have been keeping far too much and most of it has been wrecked from outside play, I am also clearing out DD2 clothes to see what I can sell on or take to charity, so the dining room is currently looking like a stall at a jumble sale:eek:
Off for some lunch and will then get on with some more before DD2 has ballet.0 -
Just noticed we're supposed to be having a finance meeting tonight :eek: Oh well, guess I better sort out all the cash transactions since payday into my new notebook.
Should be able to update my sig later as well

wash loads 8 & 9 in now.. 5 lots hung out 3 lots brought in and one lot folded.. *sigh*
DW and BM been on.. not had time or the motivation to do anything else.. I was at college this morning and had to have lunch and feed tiddles so not really had much time to do anything really.
Think I might need an early night tonight.. I've been out the last 5 nights and am pretty exhausted.. so bed at 8pm sounds pretty fantastic right now... I have to get to bed before I start hankering to go out lol.
No idea what is in the freezer for dinner.. got some chicken portions out defrosting for tomorrow though.. have those with.. new potatoes or salad I think.. depending on what I can be bothered to cook. Junk food tonight I fear!
I need to do a tesco shop for tomorrow as well.. the cupboards are bare.. plus I have a £15 code to use
What else can I fit in today??
2 more wash loads I think.
DW will need to be on again
Uniforms for tomorrow.. DD4 is off until Tuesday after tomorrow as they have a polling station in the nursery.. might end up in the park Thursday and Friday.
