    I'm in - we're not back at school until tomorrow so what can I accomplish today?

    Well I didn't iron yesterday, but I did clean the soleplate of my iron...

    Better go and hang the towels out - it is sunny and breezy today, perfect drying conditions!

    Morning all.

    Good luck to Ionfan.

    This morning I've hoovered/swept/mopped through house, washed bedspread which is now on the line, put recycling out and walked the dogs. From the list, I have decluttered and cleaned the shelves in the kitchen.

    Paid stuff now.

    Have a good day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning!

    Good housey vibe to ionafan

    Think we get our school place offer tomorrow! I am in and wm has been fed, tots away to nursery and am paid stuff at home. Got a team call in a few mins to sort out the week. I will find time to get washing out on spinny thing as weather looks good for drying. But at lunchtime I need to pop to nearby shopping centre as I need the bank and m&s for some smalls. :o

    We did have a good put away of toys last night before bathtime, so we are pretty tidy and shouldn't have too many problems doing level 1 and 2 later tonight.

    Happy Monday!
    Bossymoo

    Away with the fairies :beer:

    Oh, and I've lifted DS toddler bed back into spare room as his new big boy bed is coming today (I hope) and I haven't told him! Hopefully he will be pleased when he sees it (been naughty and paid a little extra to have them build / fit it for me)

    Thanks to all at Flying HQ.

    Think I can find some grime in the Kitchen.

    However currently need a GP's appointment for my 'Fit Note' which of course I can't get, so am contemplating attending the Drop In Clinic on the basis that one of the three GPs on duty has been recommended to me. Just winding myself up into a complete stress at the thought of having to explain to a third GP (first on maternity leave, second retired) just how I feel.

    Think I'll go for some distraction and start with some dailies. Could be back looking for some HHC company.
    Work is not my Hobby
  • Plus appliances, plus windows and windowsill. And two loads of washing out on the line.

    Off to clean two other houses now - will do floor when I get back.
    Grocery Challenge - no idea on monthly spend, guessing at £300
    Budget started April 15 - so allowing £150 and revise from there (pantry well-stocked).

    April £150/£1.90
