Aj~ hope all well, have you considered getting a local gardener in with a mower as a one off to take the pressure off you? it might be worth the money, to get it done while you do the spare room

I suggested this to DH at the beginning of the season so they could do it well and we could keep on top of it but the idea never got off the ground. It has rained too much to do anything else this evening but I hope I can do the top half of the back garden tomorrow evening.

Good news for Mrs Moneypenny and AJ. :T


Feet up time, watching Scott & Bailey then off to bed. Compulsory Basic Food Hygiene Training tomorrow so I'm in the office all day, meeting my Basic Skills Tutor first thing to see if he's happy to accept my portfolio, in which case, I will shortly be a qualified Basic Skills Tutor myself. Next month I will be a fully qualified Learning Coach too (once the UHOVI board has met). And, if I pass the exam at the end of next month, I will also be a qualified Reflexologist.


I don;t think there will be much flying tomorrow as I have an appointment with night staff at 7.30 so won;t be home till around 10.00. Yawn! I'm tired just thinking about it.



Night all and sweet dreams. God bless. x

Heheh a frog is just something you've been putting off for ages, they are not appetising but you'll feel better when it's not gawping at you anymore...

Thanks TMD & Honeybear and everyone else for the posi-vibes.....DS glasses are no longer lost, I found them stuffed under DD2 mattress and the door to her room locked (given that DD2 has been at a friends for a few days I know it was DD3 messing me around)

Flying today has consisted of:

S&S en-suite sink
change the water on the nappy bucket (in anticipation of a good washing/drying day for Thursday)
get DW on
Hoover LR
Hoover my room
clothes fling from upstairs

HHFolding and re-folding - DD4 clothes drawer as a result of EX MiL "help" last week was also wedged shut and in a big mess, and made up a big bundle of nappies with inserts and paper liners rather than trying to grab and go

HHWeeding the front drive with DS help - 2 carrier bags of weeds decluttered :j

took DD3 for haircut, she no longer resembles a yeti, but more like 80's rockstar mullet meets Japanese Manga cartoon character,
spent all night trying to settle DS as he is very much out of sorts winding up both DD3 and DD4 - he has finally quit and I am ready to call it a day

I MUST MUST MUST get on with list tomorrow! Last day of flying before I retrieve DD1 from Uni and I must get room back so she can put all her stuff in it.

Nighty night - don't let the bed bugs bite :rotfl::rotfl:


PS glad to hear your good news Mrs MP :beer:

Dustykitten

This evening was a momentous occasion - DS1 picked me and my friend up from the put at closing time - cool!

Flying limited, life full on

Valli wishing you well for half term
