    Grr. Just lost a post.

    (((Hugs))) to everyone missing someone they care about.

    Ionafan I'm glad today is going better. Holly Skint, good luck for surgery vibes. :wave: LW - thanks for the tip - happy pills being swallowed daily thanks to the reminder on the mobile.

    I so CBA this week. I'm trying to keep up, but it just isn't working. OH is in London for a couple of days, and when he's away I'm not quite so particular about clearing up after myself. (Show me someone that lives alone who is!) Anyhoo, I just joined in the first half of TMD's HHC (inadvertently) and now realise just how much I can get done if I set the beeper for that magic 15 minutes.
    Better is good enough.

    Dinner in SC (corned dog hash)
    Girls yelled at before we even got home from school, I cannot abide squabbling.. they have physio at 4:30 for an hour and God Squad at 6.. dinner has to fit in that gap! :eek:

    15MC anyone? I can't manage HHC at the moment so 15 it is.. I have laundry to fold DW to load and a table to clear.

    Finished paid stuff :T

    Been a busy week again, but got everything wrapped up for month-end and planning done for feb so I can see how to balance it all. Also had my appraisal rating / review so pleased with that result, given the state I was in for most of last year. Means I should get a modest pay rise! Probably about £2 a month :rotfl:

    Off to get my babies in 5 min. They will want feeding, and maybe a bath...

    Quick listy check:
    Wednesday - Living Room, hall and stairs
    Level One
    Wash any throws or cushion covers that need it
    [STRIKE]Hoover floors including the stairs[/STRIKE]
    Level Two
    [STRIKE]Clean a window or two
    Clear and wipe coffee table[/STRIKE]
    Level Three
    [STRIKE]Declutter anything that doesn't belong in this room
    Give all the remote controls and phones a wipe
    Dust the mantle and tv[/STRIKE]
    Extras
    [STRIKE]Eat a frog[/STRIKE]
    Clean and polish some shoes
    [STRIKE]recycle any old newspapers/magazines/catalogues (eg Argos)[/STRIKE]

    My frog was ringing my bank fraud department as they are blocking a transaction I'm trying to make. It's a bit backwards and forwards, but I'll get there. Suppose I'm grateful they are trying to keep my pennies safe...

    Gods, I am Ex-Haust-Ed!!:( Zero sleep last night; Mr LW treated himself to a whisky, and was therefore snoring like a pneumatic drill all night. Even my deafness didn't protect me, so loud it was!:eek:

    Anyways, the bathroom has been sparkled up, and the Dys0n has removed yet another tonne of chocolate-brown fur from the carpets.:cool: The amount she's shedding, I'm surprised Megan has any fur left!!:D

    She's had her tea, and is currently resting on the mat by the patio door; she was snoozing there earlier - goodness knows what she was dreaming about, but her legs were going nineteen to the dozen; maybe she thought she was chasing a cat.:o

    TMD if you do tax online it tells you if you have a MoT hence how I found out on the weekend that I didn't.

    Dusty - Do you know If I do it online, will it highlight to DVLA that I haven't got an MOT, or will it just inform me? - am hoping to get OH's done next week instead if we can put it off for a few days, but don't want to flag up on their system :eek:

    Just rang the garage and mine's ready to collect - they didn't say how much, but we can collect it when we drop DD off at Brownies in a bit.

    I got the whole house hoovered in my HHC so quite happy with that.

    DD has a friend over who I believe "eats anything". So, her being of Spanish parentage, I decided on paella. Everything's defrosted - fish, chicken, chorizo - veg all prepped and guess what, she doesn't like fish. Now have a chicken and chorizo potato bake in the oven - SHE'D BETTER EAT IT LOL!!!

    Right, off to tax my car online ....... ETA : DONE
