pigpen have you tried soaking it in a strong bicarb solution to get rid of any lingering smell? The Vanish hygeine wash additive is good for getting rid of nasty niffs (green lid).

I've got my Vit D today by walking the kids to school in a t. shirt and treating the lawn with a weed and feed product. Several loads of washing have been pegged out on the line so I think I've got it covered.

Flying has consisted of s/s of kitchen, hoovering of all downstairs and 3 x HHI.

HHC on MIL. DH took his frustration about his op out on me. Hurtful spiteful words. I held it together until I got to MIL's house then cried on her shoulder for HH.

Goregous day outside, Spring is well and truly sprung.

I feel better now but have told him to do the school run as I look a right state.

mrs-moneypenny

got my vit D at work walking round on the school field for 1/2 hour.

just been really embarrassed i know DS1 puts some of the covers he sings on youtube and i particularly like him singing mack the knife so decided to watch it, should really have decluttered the table before letting him set the camera up for that one:o publicly shamed:o

going to grab a coffee them declutter my handbag and do the table - rest of the room looks ok

Doing very well in the garden, nearly all the jobs for the back done, just a bit more sweeping to do. Then I need to start potting on some weeds,not a favourite job so I'll just start with one tray.

DS1 working until 5:30, DS2 staying late at school working on AS stuff and DS3 at after school cricket so I have another golden hour of peace.

Done some paper work and decided to have a cuppa and a sneaky biscuit after...............Had refilled the biscuit tin after visiting @ldi yesterday so had plenty of choice...............until the lid came off in my hand and the tin landed upside down on the work top and half the contents all over the floor!!!

Floor has been swept after hoovering this morning...................

Good afternoon everyone. The morning has been busy with client appointment therefore not much flying done yet but I have had 15 minutes outside (delivering avon books) and feel a bit better for it. Flying wise this morning I have only managed to make the beds and put a load of washing on.

I have an hour before I need to go and collect the kids so think I will:
Dust for cobwebs in the porch and hall
Hoover all round the house
Pick up papers, leaflets etc and put in recycle pile
Dust the tv and other electricals
Prepare the crumble ready to go into the oven
Meal plan for the rest of this week
This should be more than enough to keep me busy for an hour so lets see how much I can do x

Success I managed to get all of the list done (just) before I collected the kids. Grabbing a nice refreshing o.j whilst deciding what to tackle next since dd is having a nap and ds is playing.

Time for my next list (4.30-5.30) - this thread really does help to keep me motivated and actually get some flying done so thanks to everyone that keeps it going.

For the next hour I am going to:

Do the handwashing that needs to be done
Make the dinner, which is scampi and chips tonight. Will also make the crumble and some cakes whilst the oven is on
Check the airer and move to the ironing pile
Do some of the ironing pile
Sort the clothes for tomorrow - will do the lunches, bags and list later
Look in the bedrooms to see if there is any new washing lying around and collect up anything, which needs put into the laundry basket
Declutter purse and handbag
Fold and put away the clothes that have been lying in the TD for a couple of days

I think that is enough for me to work on for now, as my hip is giving me a bit of jip today if it gets any worse I may give the mw a call but probably just part of being preggers x

MIL gave DH a flea in his ear for upsetting me. He's taken DS3 for a haircut and bought me the sandals I admired in the shoe shop window this morning. The S word hasn't come out his mouth yet.

Dinner is cooking. All the ironing I did this morni g has been put away. HSL hoovered.
