    OH and DD2 taking both naughty girl ice skating so I am going to do a major flinging session for an hour.. I can't get much more tired than I am already without collapsing in a heap so it won't matter if I go into total burn out!

    A large shiny orb suddenly appeared in the sky so I am off to put out 2 loads of washing and liberate the hall mat and stuff that in to be washed.. I might not be able to get it back out but it is going in!

    So.. 1HC 1:30-2:30 anyone?? For all or a part of it is much appreciated.

    My goal..

    to clear and vacuum the middle room
    to sweep and mop the loo and bathroom
    to stay awake while doing the above.

    I am a splodge on the sofa!

    2 loads out on the line.. 2 more to go out.. including.. the large doormat from the hallway.... well it did say it was machine washable :p

    Middle room habitable once again :D

    Just need to slop the mop about upstairs then I can put dinner out and then fall asleep in a mouldy mound.

    Actually.. I may need to empty and reload the DW, sweep the kitchen, change the cot bedding, clear and wipe the table, put the recycling out, do a Tesco order and an approved foods order, get the pjs out for the small pinks and I might get carried away and make a cake too seeing as I have nothing else to do!

    Hi All :wave:



    Just posting quickly, & grabbing a list, hope you are all well, no time to read back


    I have been flying-a-plenty, due to spare time on my hands as DS has chicken pox (we only had 6 days until we were in the clear, the spots appeared on way home from communion on Saturday), I am off work; well at least until DH comes in from work, then I offered boss to go in, cannot afford to lose any money (he docked me last time DS was sick). Have also weeded the front garden & planted 64 plants :eek: yesterday & our bed was also stripped & linen replaced, need to take advantage of the good weather while we have it. Plan tomorrow is to strip DS & DD’s beds & 3 hours ironing as I have parents night for both tonight. At this rate I will have the weekend to myself, I must say I have enjoyed being at home spending time with DS (when he is awake) :D



    Monday - kitchen
    Got an hour
    Clean the windows
    Extras
    HHI

    Tuesday - Living room and downstairs Loo
    Only got 15 minutes
    S&S the sink and toilet

    Wednesday - Bathroom
    Got an hour
    Wipe the tiles down

    back from Doc, he is as sure as can be my lump is a harmless cyst:T, so im safe to carry on ignoring it.
    decluttered cans bags and coathangers, posted post, dropped vouchers off even met DS2 out of school and nipped him in hairdressers so thats a job off the list i hadnt even put there.
    havent heard back from DS1 yet but he didnt say when the day finished so he could come home about 6ish if its a normal work day hours.

    just going to throw a pizza in the oven for DS2 while he plays hunt the phone that been left on silent somewhere in his room. then ill clean the mouse out.

    thank you all for your good wishes, they do mean a lot
