    Skies have turned blue - so washing is on the line. I have to pop out now, but I've ironed yesterday's washing and stuck it in front of a sunny window - DD's uniform was washed, so it's ready for tonight now.

    I shall send the rain away *waves magic wand*

    Thank you Honey Bear
  • Ebay stuff all wrapped and a few letters (which should have been sent ages ago) are done and ready for posting.

    Dry clothes all gathered up and more clothes hung around house. WM and TD both on.

    Right off to see what I can get done before DS3 goes to playgroup. :D

  • Good morning :D

    Been a busy week here workwise. I have had my Friday lie-in today though ;) Start work at 1.30 today, and have pick ups at 2 different schools. DD2 wants to use one of the children for a photo shoot in prep for her A2 photography next week (with agreement from parent & child). It is cold & wet out, so we will have to set it up indoors. We retrieved lots of dressing up clothes from the loft for other photoshoots on Wednesday - which resulted in piles of stuff everywhere! Lots of fun was had (I had forgotten we had so much!), and lots of hoovering afterwards (the feathers on the fairy wings have seen better days). Some bits needed washing, so they were line-dried yesterday & it is all safely stored in the summerhouse now (out of the way, but easily accessible ;))

    Took the dog for a walk after dinner last night in the evening sunshine with DH. It was lovely and we were treated to a sighting of a barn owl in flight :) I have never seen one in the wild, so we were quite excited.

    A slow start today. I am going to get myself sorted, then do HHPaperwork at 11.30 if anyone cares to join me :)

    Thanks to everyone for get well wishes. My migraine is gradually subsiding, but I am left washed out by it. I don't get flashing lights - "just" painful pressure behind the eyes, totally muzzy head and enormous fatigue. I slept most of yesterday.

    Joining you now, GI. Am going to fill in my short tax return, if my brain cells will cooperate for a few minutes. I might tackle the Gift Aid claim this afternoon....or I might not. Will see how it goes.

  • Hi everybody - back in after a busy morning. Thank you, Dusty, for the lists - I think you've been visiting here! I have descaled etc bathroom taps and tiles and we've had a clean and hoover through this morning, paying special attention to our bedroom. I even sorted out my bedside table drawer, which was SO cluttered! Just mopped the conservatory and kitchen floors and now sitting with a cuppa and a toastie as I'm in work this afternoon.

    We intend to have a day out tomorrow as it's looking sunny up north, so we aim to go to Liverpool for the day, and have a nice lunch out. I'll wave en-route to any nearby flyladies!!

    Good health vibes winging their way to all those poorly, Ionafan, I used to get a lot of migraines, and they are horrible. I hope you are soon better. Good luck vibes too, to those DCs with driving tests or exams looming.

    Back later! R x

    *sound of ball on raquet*
    returned!

    It rained where I was ... about a mile away. I'm not sure it rained here; mattress cover almost dry. More washing pegged out. Apparently hospitals will be cleaner/air (in them) fresher if they open windows (well durr). DS has his window open all the time. I love having the window open -and - when I am cleaning kitchen, the back door. (Garden secure; gate locked) - you can't beat fresh air! I am popping to mum's shortly to pick up her list and her Mr M vouchers.

    Good luck, mummyroysof3! That's just how I felt 8 weeks ago.

    Tax return done
    2 emails sent
    Some old financial papers (earlier than April 2007) decluttered
    2x WM done and hung out in the sun
    Rolls in oven for lunch

    Not much, but it's a start.
    I might need to sleep again after lunch...

    How did you get on, GI?
