    Evening all

    List for tomorrow will appear in a bit, long Governors meeting and then dinner and time with DS1 so running very late.

    Dancemum - jetlag makes you feel ill. I get it much worse coming home from US than going out, DH is the other way. Re the sallis - wash no bio if possible, no fabric conditioner, tumble dry if possible will keep waterproof - worse case you can get wash in stuff to re-do.

    OptoMum hope you are feeling better this week

    LW - Yay at the DWP decision :D:j

    Sorry but my tired brain is leaking more than a chocolate teapot :o So hugs, spoons, sticks and vibes for all who want/need them.

    I've just been on the hunt for DDs PE kit...I could have sworn I put the top in her room over half-term but no, its at the bottom of the ironing pile in a right mess. Hung it all up in the hopes some creases will drop over night. I'll be getting up early tomorrow to chase DD to make her packed lunch and I'll iron stuff while she's busy doing that. Too tired now to do it. :o

    Personal:
    Ironing (will do while watching a film or two)
    Big shop - either online or make list! - website playing up, in person it is then!
    Look into eb@ying costs etc (been a while since I sold something)
    Bank
    Card shop - no luck with card at Mr A's. Going to try a card shop near my bank instead. ;)

    Work:
    Replacements/Returns
    Deliveries
    Book list for Thursday
    Type up trial account sheet - maybe this method will work?!?

    Monday - Kitchen
    Basic Flying

    Sweep and mop the floor - couldn't let the mop brigade down :D
    Clean the sink, drainer and taps

    Tuesday - Hall, Stairs, Landing and Livingroom
    Basic Flying

    Clear the floors and hoover them
    Dust any fluffy surfaces
    Deep Cleaning
    Remove any marks from the walls/paintwork - the magic erasers work well
    Give keyboard and mouse a good clean
    Go on a cobweb hunt

    Decluttering
    Sort out that pile of papers/magazines/catalogues and recycle what you can
    Delete some emails, favourites, blurry photos you choose
    Sort out a stationery or desk drawer - do you need all those rubber bands and envelopes


    I'm off to bed. 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!

    morning all
    decluttered boys to school/college -DS1 really cut up about his bike, the moment it was taken have been caught on CCTV so police are hopeful of getting someone (not holding my breath that the bike will be returned but can live in hope)
    DS2 upset that main scout camp clashes with our summer hol week (i did give him the choice and hes opted for family hol) and spring scout camp clashes with something he really wants to do at school. luckily he did get on a school trip that i originally thought was out of our budget but decided to tighten up elsewhere as he really wanted it. so its now looking like the scout pot will be paying for that so its not a problem really. if hed been 'lucky' enough to be free for them all i think id have been looking how much kidneys go for on ebay;)
    damp and miserable here so i hope everyone is alright.

    im going to bite the bullet and collect mils tabs this morning and catch up later. that way i can pull in a brisk walk to declutter some cobwebs from myself and declutter a book i finished reading last night on drs shelf.

    'see' you all later
