    Morning folks.

    Getting in quick before the site crashes again today. It could be an interesting one, as i may end up resigning depending on what i am told in the work meeting I have to go to, because i am not going back full time. Will see how it goes. I thought i had sorted this in JAnuary, so yet again school are changing the goal posts to suit them and i am fed up of it.

    Anyway, after marking till 11pm last night i then had a quick 'powerbath' and slept really well. Charlie didn't wake till after 7am, which i think is because he ate loads yesterday.

    The cheeky monkey. I toasted some fruit loaf, and had him in my arms while i was buttering it, and he leant over and grabbed some and started shoving it in his mouth before i even noticed. :rotfl: 7 months old and nothing is safe - the monkey. He is so funny!! I wouldn't have thought he was up to eating it, but he showed me he was more than ready for that challenge.

    Anyway, todays list, and i am not playing catch up at all for the next few weeks, apart from washing all bedding on Friday:

    Morning everyone
    I’ve had a low few days, I think my hormones are still haywire after having DS eight weeks ago. DD is out for tea and then being taken to Rainbows, so a relatively easy day. Will see how much I can get done, will make me feel a bit better if house is more in control.

    Morning all, :hello:

    Glad you're back on track demonicangel :D . Where did you find your motivation? Was it under the ironing pile like I said or had it fallen down the back of the fridge? My mum once found a dessicated fish head down the back of hers! :eek:

    What a lovely surprise!!! :rolleyes:

    I found the motivation under the washing pile and seeing the state of my flat! Dont do ironing but do nearly always put all the clean washing on top of my tumble drier and under that, there was my motivation!

    Thats made me a bit scared to pull out my fridge and clean behind it, knowing my luck, I will find a mousey under there! I have a small mouse problem...the problem being he doesnt want to be caught and nothing can tempt him! EH tried and he would not take the bait! Doesnt like food, just paper it would seem!

    Another easy day for me, not much to tidy in here luckily.

    Dailies:
    Washing
    sort out clean nappies
    Buy more nappies ;) Want to buy one from hyena cart so will take about three hours looking!
    Decide whats for tea.

    Made my cheesie chicken pasta bake and it was really yum! Thought I had messed it up when doing the cheese sauce, I tasted it when I mixed in the pasta and chicken and it was yuck! 45 minutes later being in the oven, it was lush!
    Can add that to my short list of what I can cook from scratch!

    Off to post office now and hoping to squeeze in the recycling before I have a nursery pick up to do.
  • Have managed to do all on list again today. I did do half of it yesterday as my living room is dining room as well. I decluttered a box of rubbish which had been in the living room since Christmas. I love the new thread layout. Thanks Lil'me.

    Sorry everyone, late starter here, well done everyone, spent morning viewing special school, think it's going to be the right place for DS1, just the LEA application to sort now.

    This afternoon got rid of some clutter on freecycle inc chairs, spent 2 hours trawling scrap yards for parts, ewww!!! all filthy, now home have dinner on the go, done some washing (drying indoors again!) few calls to LEA etc and had a quick tidy but nothing major. Will do the list this evening after I get back from taking DS2 to collect his glasses, then hopefully 2 hours study time when they are in bed.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Afternoon all

    Not started my flying yet apart from kitchen after breakfast. Been out, done some coupon shops. Got some more soda crystals and microfibre cloths - do you all use these, I think they're great.

    Eraser blocks - they had 2 packs in Wilkos not flash but look the same 99p

    Got some storage boxes for the loft. Right just time to do the hoovering before the school run - looks like it will rain bang on 3:00pm just like usual:mad:

    Boston I love your smilies how comes you have such flashy ones?
