    Afternoon all :)

    Hugs to all and CONGRATULATIONS to the safe arrival of Holly :j

    I'm in again this week, nothing ventured, nothing gained and all that !

    This week is mainly going to be about the ever growing piles of paperwork .... I need to demolish them, as opposed to just moving them around ! Mentally, they are my weak spot currently and I need to just tackle them head on.

    Really frustrated as DD built an ace snowman, and some eejit boys have just come along and smashed it, so that'll be one unhappy bunny when she comes back from school.

    Right, work manic today, but making myself take a lunchbreak to do some of this paperwork ... 15 min chunks, yes?!

    So, pre-work:

    1 x WM
    1 x TD
    Non ironing sorted and put into piles for DH / DD to put away their stuff later.
    Bed stripped
    Airer decluttered of washing
    Leftovers eaten for lunch
    Vague plan of what to cook for dinner formed (risotto)

    Right, enough procrastination ....... 15 mins ... starts ... NOW :)

    Congratulations, skintfamily!!! And what a beautifu name!

    Just havin g a late lunch, but managed to squeeze in some flying, and will pop out to have a go at the drive (although my neighbour has done a path for me :A)

    Work is quite busy, but the remote server is too, so some of my imports are taking a while, hence eating and flying ad-hoc :D

    Next job to look online to see if there's any news re bin collections... ahh they are focusing on the green bin rounds so won't bother digging a path out just yet...

    Update before school run:

    Manic Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Level One
    Clean floors
    Level Three
    Dust any extra furniture in dining room, checking for cobwebs on way round
    Wash the washer drawer out if it's gunky

    My jobs:
    Filing
    Ironing

    This is the most I've done since I've been 'back' so really pleased.

    Hex if you come on here before FB please check your email account it may have been compromised

    Rug cleaned for the second time in the snow with DS1 - the dirt that came out was surprising, tomorrow I'll be able to tell how successful it was.

    Feeling a bit better now so I've cleared the driveway and path in case I want to go out in the car tomorrow.

    Time for a cuppa now and then I'll put WM on.
