    Done some flying
    Went with DS1 to get his MMR. He was going on his own but it is tricky to park in the village car park so he asked me to go along for the ride.

    A bit more paperwork done. Off to clean the bathroom now and gee DS1 back to work.

    I am going to embark on 2 hours of flying before I put the dinner on and get ready for 4 hours paid work.

    During the 2 hours (3.15-5.15) flying I am aiming to:
    • Sweep and mop the kitchen floor
    • Clear and wipe the kitchen work surfaces
    • Sweep and mop the bathroom floor
    • Sort meal plan for next week and make shopping list
    • Sort through the cupboards, fridge and freezer and make a list of food
    • Do online shop
    • Check bank and move money around as required
    • Quick tidy in the living room
    • Decide on dinner for tonight and put the oven on
    Apart from this list the only other things that I need to do today is make dinner and do paid work tonight. I will return later to update on my progress and see what I need to get done tomorrow in order to catch up.

    Today's plan was:
    - gym x 2 1 class only as Pilates full
    - post office DoNE
    - dentist DONE and has put me off doing much else - had an old filling replaced which involved sharp needles, copious drilling and filling and now my lower jaw and tongue are numb. As if my poor face hasn't been through enough this week!
    - finish digging bed for peas as the shoots are ......shooting fast in the greenhouse I still have good intentions, but owing to aforementioned dentist, feel I am owed a sit in the conservatory with a Kindle, trying not to think of what else I could have usefully spent £49 than the dentist!
    - Take photos of our pond as it needs a cleanout and new liner, so will be getting some quotes (you have to be really careful when you G00gle "Women with Waders" as opposed to....anything similar.) Have sent photos and enquiry
    I guess I'll look at some folders..........have checked work e-mail twice for 0fsted updates, but not done anything yet with folders
    Then whatever takes my fancy. Finishing off at the local Thai restaurant with friends. Huh, dentist said don't eat on that side today, and it will be numb for 4hrs then "sensitive" but will settle down. Methinks a bowl of sticky rice and a small spoon will be tonight's meal
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.

    Not too much 'cleaning' left to do mainly paperwork and sorting types of jobs. Going to have a cuppa now and browse a couple of magazines before making dinner.

    This is my new best friend: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Smartcafe-Cafetiere-Hot-Graphite-Grey/dp/B0007MTNGS/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1366988466&sr=8-8&keywords=coffee+cup+plunger had a bit of retail therapy this week, including new jeans and swimmies, a fab coffee cup where I can have just one cup of fresh coffee without making a load of cleaning up :) new pumps for tots, a new lamp to match my hallway decor, a pretty beaded heart dec for my living room and some pretty nail art gizmos. Everything but the mirror I actually was hoping to find...:D

    Curtain rail mended, work finished, kitchen gibble cleared away and coffee made ;) even stuck up a little 5 hook key rack on the inside of my wardrobe door, with n0 m0re n@ils :D so I can hang my favourite necklaces there and remember to wear them :T
