Morning all :hello: Boy am I so not in the right frame of mind to do anything this morning :mad: My brain just doesn't want to wake up and I overslept until 7am again :rolleyes: An early night for me tonight I think.

Last night I dyed my hair again instead of going straight for a bath and then I got distracted by CSI, CSI Miami, washing up and getting stuff out for today so I finally got in the bath at 11.50 I really need to work on getting in there earlier as I fell asleep and woke up at 12.15 freezing cold and with a sore neck :rolleyes: All in all not good prep to go to my first finance meeting :rolleyes:

So my plans are to tidy up as I go along, school run, post office (parcels are already in my bag ready ), finance meeting at school, Asda for some fruit (extortiant prices in the local shops :eek:), dailies at home, then set too on the school website links pages, tea on, pick DD up from her friends house (in theory she's still going ... will have to check with his mum) , tea and then veg out infront of the TV :rotfl: Just remembered I want to put the edited website on my pendrive just incase I don't think OH would have thought to back it up for me when he backed up the computer the other day as it's on my desktop. :rolleyes: Right, need to down my coffee and check my bag etc :wave:

DH has been a sweetie for me and done two of the small jobs off my list, but he has saved me a trip to the post sorting office to collect my parcel, so he is in the good books today.

I now have a decision to make on my marking was better than i thought, so can i handle more than the papers i have already. As cash flow is a bit tricky at the moment, i think i would have to say yes, so i will see how much i can get done today and base my decision on that.



So far, me and baby fed, cats fed, one kicked out so the other can eat cheaper crunchies (as they had £3 worth of food yesterday, and even Charlie doesn't get that much a day :rotfl: have visions of him crawling along trying to eat this gourmet cat food too! And then we will need to remortgage :eek: )

I've just made a 2nd cuppa as Charlie was in with us from 6:20, and i am feeling it a little. Will need to get a scoot on to get dressed and started, as i have fell down the naughty mummy feels guilty route of sticking him in front of kids telly.

Hugs all round.

Get something done pigpen and scaredy cat and stop shirking your flylady duties. Says me who didn't do much yesterday either

See you all tonight.
Michelle, x

So upstairs I creep... the bed linnen is now in the wm, the load I put on last night is out on the line, my windowsil in the BR is clean and so is the window. the Floordrobe is tidied.. I just can't hoover, dont want to wake up the baby!

Blimey Becca, well done, slow down you're showing me up :rotfl:

Shirley, I use either lemon juice or vinegar and salt on brass. Spoon of salt in the juice/vinegar and rub, wash off (don't want acid leaving on) then buff up, always works for me.
