    Its quiet in here tonight!

    Just popping in to update my list so I can see whats left to do on Friday. Tomorrow is paid stuff and I also need to do the ironing so DD can do most of her packing for going away on Friday night. Its a bit more rushed now she's in seniors as she'll get in from school about 4pm, but then she'll be out again by 5-6pm so everything has to be done the night before! Especially as she'll need a bath before she leaves. Which reminds me, I need to check a couple of things with Ex tomorrow about times and who's doing tea for her etc!


    Personal:
    Thur: Order for work
    Fri: DD away from tea time :D

    MUST DO:
    Sort smoke alarm replacement
    FILL IN PASSPORT FORM AND FIND RELEVANT PAPERS
    Ironing

    Manic Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Level One

    Wash the washer drawer out if it's gunky - still doing laundry, will do this Friday after bedding etc is done. ;)

    Tuesday Living Room :j:j:j DONE:j

    Wonderful Wednesdays - Master Bedroom & Landing
    Level 1

    Remove and wash bed linen. - Fridays job as I'll be changing DD's as well since she's away for the weekend ;)

    Thursday Bathroom :j:jDONE:j:j

    We don't have a separate study so that all gets lumped in the with livingroom stuff so it looks like I'm ahead of myself for a change . Off to watch the rest of my programme then I'm headed to bed :D Night all :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Didn't do master bedroom today, instead blitzed DD' s room and 're made bed for any trips home from uni. Looking lovely and smelling fresh in there. It was becoming my room of doom! Tonight after work I have Fed WM and TD x2 (including DD' s bedding), made lasagne for tomorrow's tea and made packed lunches x 3. I have also sorted a few bits to put on eBay this weekend. My bed is now calling me.

    Books renewed
    Another item sold on ebay for much more than I had hoped so need to work out postage for that today.

    Cuppa anyone?

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Having a tea and doing paid stuff til about 11, then will get back to the flying. Would really like to sort out the lounge today (I know, I'm really behind) and maybe even get a couple of listings sorted so they can go up for the free listing weekend.

    Flying went totally to pot yesterday after a ridiculous visit from the 'rents... Dad really surpassed himself this time! :rotfl: So after that I just cooked and drank wine :grin:

    Feeling a bit brighter this morning now, but it means I've still got yesterday's jobs to do as well as today's :eek:
