    Thanks for joining me TMD, how did you get on?

    Sorry for the tardy reply TC, I've been at work this evening. Once I jumped into gear, I rang the hairdressers to see if they could squeeze DS in for a chop and they said to come along at 12 noon. Cue mad rush:D Managed to hoover kitchen, wash pots, steam mop kitchen, strip DS's bed, wash bedding and get it out on the line and get ready all in an hour! I was like a woman possessed. We only got back after 3pm having decluttered too many pennies in town. DS's room is tidy, hoovered, dusted and aired and he's had a declutter of old toys which he wants to carboot.

    Not likely to get much done tomorrow - working 9 til 3 and then 3 hours of parents evening! The joys ........

    TMD xx

    Golly, this thread gets longer and longer.........lucky I didn't look at it earlier or I wouldn't have got anything done! But nice to hear what everyone is up to. My summary today:
    - back to zumba at last, after Easter break then face break!
    - remembered to post letter and collect prescription on way home
    - hoovered all downstairs
    - dusted/tidied lounge/diner as client round pm
    - washed and hung out one load
    - did 2 separate stints of weeding
    - watered in greenhouse and lounge
    - wrote up shortish report
    - did a few surveys
    - read through notes made at w/e regarding freelance work
    - swept kitchen floor

    Well past bed time now; I keep meaning to go earlier so I can get up in the morning, but somehow it never happens.........
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.

    Morning all, not much done on the flying front yesterday. Mind OH was painting the roofs of the charity building and will be back up today to finish. I'm away this morning to collect gutter for same building, just hope they have it ready.

    Need to get DS3 another birth cert as I've misplaced the last one (did have it a month ago and don't know where I've put it. :mad:

    I've tech tonight and DD is at her club, hopefully she'll be ok (took a nasty fall last week down 4 stairs and has badly bruised her knee plus her legs are very sore anyway with the CP).

    Right best get boys ready and go.
