Back from playgroup.Master Polkadot had a blast, but the Princess slept through the whole thing.Ill need to add to my list to find the surestart schedule so we can go to another tomorrow
Im just going to buy my Hallmark card suite upgrade and then Ill head into the downstairs bathroom.Once Ive done that I need to do get the kitchen done.
Ive ordered some Chemico to try to get the floors clean.The kitchen and both bathrooms are tiled with those textured tiles and they are REALLY manky,I just cant get them clean.
I started last week with the decluttering in my office space, and now I cant decide if I should carry on there or go to the cake room.

In from a 6 mile walk with Pip - didn't mean to go quite so far but got a bit lost in a field - why aren't footpath signs more frequent so you know which way to go! Glad I didn't clean the bath yet cos had to wash Pip down with warm water; she was filthy but had a really good run
.
Having a cuppa then better try to do a bit of cleaning in the bathroom before DD home at 3.25. DS doing football club (hopefully indoors - it's cold and raining here) so don't have to get him til 4.25.

tidied shoe rack
folded wet washing - need to find somewhere to put it later

Ironing - done, except for the bits in the washer
Veg Seeds ordered, also went to a Garden Centre [am I sad cos I love a Garden Centre visit] and bought more seeds, just waiting for a lovely Spring day so I can get going with the planting
Visited Lottie - waterlogged but hey, who cares, it'll drain away eventually

Just checking in, haven't done any physical flying yet today. I spent the morning at my friends trying to sort out the mess that is my finances
I'm even more depressed now. Have to go back again tomorrow once I've had some calls returned, see where that leaves me
I'm currently watching an old John Wayne film I've never seen before then I've start on the bathroom before DD2's dad comes over to discuss him taking the girls away on holiday.
I was wanting to taken them away myself but I don't see I'll be able to afford it now0 -
I hope, Dragon, that your news was good today. Thinking of you.
I'm in this week, but I won't be able to do anything until Tuesday, so I'll be running to catch up all week. The time I've got today will need to be spent decluttering various hot spots that have accumulated while I've been working on a couple of time-consuming but immensely rewarding projects. I simply cannot understand why I can't concentrate on more than one thing at a time. My office looks as though a bomb's gone off and showered the whole place with fabric, paper, dog junk and STUFF. Thank you Dusty for the list and Natty for last week's - I'd go mad if it weren't for you guys.Better is good enough.0 -
Dragon, thinking of you hope todays news was good
wendy sorry to hear thing are difficult, you have taken the first step get things sorted a bit them perhaps aim at a nice day trip or something with the girls later in the year or next year
was about right half the washing up done, got to boil some more kettels to do glasses and stuff that need clean water.
did tidy all the magnets notes and junk off the top and front of the boiler wiped it down and cleared the work surface under it
wind is really picking up here but drizzly so not bothering to try hanging anything out in it.SPC~12 ot 124

I completely failed last week as we bought two gorgeous little rascal puddy tats that took over my week. Had to keep an eye on them as the first one was petrified of us (wouldn't know for looking at him now all cwtched up on the bed) and the other one is only a baby so she likes to be carried around 24/7. However this week I'm in and have completed Mondayalthough I am away in London Wednesday daytime and Bristol all day Thursday so I might have to get the OH to do some flying
