Morning All :wave:


Hope you are all well, there will be no windows getting opened at my house today (I am at paid stuff) but itis blowing a hoolie here. :eek: The wind kept wakening me last night as well as the thunder(actually DH snoring) :rotfl: he will have a sore back this morning, don’t know how many times I dunted him!! Didn’t get the iron out last night, had to go get some shopping & then I started on the kitchen at 7.30 last night. Also cleared & cleaned dining table, TV unit, TV & all light switches (now chrome so they are very easy marked) Will need to bring the iron out tonight, my aunt has asked me to take up a hem on 2 pairs curtains:eek: I like to press them first before stitching. I don’t need to do any deep cleaning in LR hall or stairs, all newly decorated & de-cluttered & my sister will be getting my sofa when my new one arrives (hopefully by end May) so it will be given a quick clean before she gets it. Going to try get a wee read back on Fred.

Morning :wave:

Bright, sunny, and blowing a hooley here this morning. WM already on but not sure if I should risk putting it out whilst I go to work as there seems to be a good chance it will blow away! - decisions, decisions.

Bossy - great news re DS's school choice - I remember those anxious days waiting for the confirmation.

Skint - You've done loads - well done, but remember not to do too much!

We all slept in this morning - 8.30 :eek: - was quite a rush getting the kids out the door with breakfast on the go, packed lunches made and appropriate sports kits for after school clubs, but somehow each child reached school by 8.55. I didn't break the speed limit, honest

Off to shower now before the paid stuff.

Thanks. Nurse said improvement, still one cut edge not healed so she's put another set of steri-strips on and wants another look on Thursday. I've never had this much medical attention in my entire life!


prepped a few letters for m@il surveys oops that's secret; now you'll have to kill me

Hope your feeling better soon & I also do ^those^ surveys :rotfl:

Bossy - So glad you got the school you wanted, must be a weight off your mind!

Bedrooms tidied and DS3's dusted. Just taking a cuppa upto Dust the HSL and S&S sinks and loos wilst WM1 finishes. Promised DS1 I'd take him out to practice driving at 10:30. We can stop at MrA for me to return something and to teach him how to put petrol in a car.

pigpen

Well.. I am sick of waiting for the boiler guy so I am going to wash my wig.. it hasn't been done in far far too long and is gross.. not having a shower/bath is no longer an excuse!



He is coming 'before 1pm'.. not very precise! You can guarantee I'll just get the soap on and he will knock at the door!!! lol

OH on with the DW and I have the WM's to fill next.
Bins all emptied and recycling and composting out.

Dot is going to be gagged if she carries on screaming.. gggrrrr

AGirlWrites

Wow! You flyladys are inspirational. I live alone and find it really hard to motivate myself to clean. I am out of the flat every night this week after work so i'll have a quick clean on the weekend, but I shall be joining you all next week. This may be just the motivation I was looking for!!
