    DD has remade her own bed:T
    somehow some of the washed-and-waiting to be ironed laundry got blood on (bedding) whether I cut myself accidentally and never noticed I don't know. So there are two of DD's duvet covers in the wash; this weeks and the 'clean' one from last week's wash, I've already rewashed a sheet:mad:

    Binned a cat food dish/tray (with two sections) that I never use

    I now want to add

    Hi

    Not a lot happening here. We've been playing out. Just come inside for a little break from the sun.

    Did my shopping whilst kiddies off swimming. Got DS 2 sunhats, 2 bottles of p20, a hair colour, some gifts for the party tomorrow, and lots of milk that I keep forgetting :)

    I have done another wash which is out on the rotary as the curtains were dry. I'll fold them away until winter. And I did a spot of weeding at the front, and swept the gravel back into its home.

    Mum has just been and commented on how clean we look!

    Might do a couple of hhc later and clean some windows.

    I've got the girls bedding changed and the cot moved out of my room.. I am babyless!!!!!!!!!!

    I have restacked some boxes in my room and collapsed in a heap.. I am absolutely exhausted. I have so much to do I just want to cry. At least now with Dot in the other room I can do some while she naps hopefully. I will have space for the basket and baby stuff to be brought back from DD1's.

    Suppose I best go vacuum the car before I have to cook dinner.. we got the car seats out and have washed the covers and cleaned the seats so it is silly not to take advantage and clean the car too. Actually ... I'll do this instead.. 'OH ... go vacuum the car!'

    What to have for dinner??.... and I need to pay the bills again.. I'll do that now while I recover I think!

    Glad to hear your good news, ionafan. Valli - hope you're not overdoing it. Froddy - have a great time!

    The heating guy stayed a lot longer than I thought and I made lunch for everyone when he'd gone and I'd decluttered £180 for the repair - the part alone cost £100. :( I'm glad I saved enough last month.

    Not sure why, but I'm permanently cold and tired today. Decided to munch a frog and did meter readings, account checks and spreadsheet updates (had to finish last months and start the budget for June). Not a lot of slack next month (DS2's birthday weekend was a bit more expensive than I'd thought. Having DF and MF dates (and trying to bring them forward) is a real incentive, though.

    Note to self: Update spreadsheets daily or at least every other day. Leaving it for 2 weeks DOES NOT WORK.

    Time to play with some laundry, re-make beds and think about tea.

    ETA Jobs for later: meal plan (rough draft only - anything else doesn't work anyway) and shopping list), may clean the fridge while I'm at it.

    Sew curtains
    Make dog bed
    Finish the garden

    Have fun
    Spend less now, work less later.
