  • Good evening :D

    Not a bad day today :) 1 Ebay parcel posted. I didn't send the other as I had underestimated the postage. I have contacted the buyer (it was overseas, and they hadn't checked with me before bidding. I have refunded & reinvoiced after asking them what they wanted to do. All very amicable :))

    DH has cut the grass, dug up & replanted a shrub that he had put in the wrong place (a climber in the middle of a bed :eek:), weeded & dug over the beds.
    Our bed stripped, washed, hung out & remade. Mr T shop done. Planted some seeds with the child I had today (whose mum paid me 2 weeks money she owed :j just last week & this week to pay for now :o). popped round a friend's house for a cuppa & a chat :) Made 2 dinners, DW put on (needs emptying now). DH has done the ironing.

    I have also munched a frog by phoning tax credits. Hopefully they will start paying me some money soon! ;)

    Hugs, sticks & spoons to anyone that needs them. I am going to update my list then go to bed. Full day at the paid stuff tomorrow :)
    Night night all x

    Just eaten a big frog (filling in forms) and now hopping off to bed. 8) Ribbit!
  • Not a very productive day as I just could not get myself motivated therefore I did not achieve anything apart from making the meals and doing the online shop but like DH said I was probably needing some time with my feet, as I am almost 6 months pregnant.

    My plan of action for Thursday is:
    Clear the mantle in the living room and give it a good clean
    Clean the glass doors in the display cabinet and clean the tv screen
    Do some of the ironing pile and put clothes away
    Plant some of the vegetable and herbs seeds
    Do some of the laundry
    Clean and sort through the drawers in the kitchen
    Clean the drawer and filter in the wm
    Spend HH sorting through recipes
    Dust the front doors and clean the glass
    Spend HH decluttering the living room
    Dust the living room
    Strip the master bed linen and wash and replace
    Clear the master bedroom floor and hoover
    Dust the master bedroom for cobwebs
    Do any mending, sew on buttons etc
    Sort out your summer tops in hope of some nice weather
    Spend HH decluttering the master bedroom
    Clean bath, shower, sink and toilet
    Clear and wash the bathroom floor
    Quick hoover around the house
    Clear any clutter from desk
    Wipe keyboard, house phone, sockets, switches and mouse etc
    Wash your bathroom mats and shower curtains etc
    Hunt out the sunscreen
    Clean some shoes, get your sandles out.
    Get school clothes, bags and PE kits organised for next week
    Spend some quality time with DH (i've been a bit grumpy tonight, think its my hormones)

    Ugh wide awake with upset tummy. It was better yesterday but has started again.

    Living room done yesterday.
    Dailies were done
    Shopping done.

    DD is fine. She told me the whole story yesterday when I saw her. Apparently she had threatened to knock him into next week. It's her last day on the course today so she is pleased. She said he got a shock as he hadn't expected her to retaliate.

    Nothing needed out the house today so will see what I can get done.

    Macpep. Congratulations on DHs new job.

    Hugs,spoons and sticks where needed.

    Good morning Ladies.

    I'm not working today, so I hope to get some flying accomplished.

    We are a poorly / injured household. DS1 has pain in his ear and jaw. DS3 had his hand bent right back playing football. I met DH at his consultants appointment last night. As he suspected his hearing has altered so he's been given a course of Steroids. DH is beyond fed up. He is so deaf, it's really causing him problems at work. We didn't get home until 9.30.

    I saw a bad accident driving home. 4 cars in front of me. Onne car ended up on its side. Pool ice ambulance and fire were there before I managed to turn my car round. Very impressed with their fast response.

    I hope everyone has a good day.

    Macpep great news about DHs new job.
    Bossy you have enough on your plate without worrying about getting back on the blood doaning register at the moment just concentrate on yourself and your LOs.

    Well done to everyone that does give i used to do it (started years ago when there was a war and it was needed (Falklands i think) but after about 9 successful pints between pregnancies i got asked not to keep trying as the last few attempts i was always too low in iron, they never found a reason for it but obviously if you are ill enough to need blood you need good quality stuff not my watery effort. i did get quite upset and cried when i was asked to stop going as i felt id failed but DH started going as a result of me doing it so they still get his pint.
