    Blues out on the line. DD nit-checked so she's back in the shower washing off the conditioner. Her bed has been remade.

    DS has finished his homework and has just brought me a cup of tea :A "thanks Darling".

    OH is putting some stuff on Ebay. If it doesn't go this week, then it's off to the car boot. Anything left after that is going to the CS. Ragbags and recycling in the boot of the car ready to drop off in town later.

    Time to prep veggies for dinner - house is smelling divine! and then remake DS's bed.

    Afternoon all

    Did not like coming down to the huge mess I'd left in the kitchen last night so I made a flask, grabbed a cereal bar and went to cricket practice and sat for an hour and a half. Do you see a theme with my summers cricket, garden, invigilate, cricket, garden etc.

    House is going to pot so I need to do an hour now and see what I can achieve before the pull of the sun is too great.

    The dates they send them out are staggered, as are the return by dates. I must admit to not looking at my pack. I simply stuffed it in the "In" tray. Really hate this job. I think it is the panic of them reducing my payments considerably that prevents me from dealing with it, as seems to have happened to a lot of my friends. :mad:

    Found the bag of nail polish.. the tootsies are now bright pink and sparkly.. back to my flinging.. :p

    Why do I have so much stuff to fling? Surely if it is flingworthy it should be long gone?

    And why can OH not keep the 2 girls downstairs out of my way while he is sat there doing nothing.. literally.. while I slave my @r$e off up here?

    I accused OH of doing beggar all before - turns out he's put up my washing lines in the long corridor. I was swiftly put back in my place, however, I did have the last word ............... as always :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Roast dinner munched - bloomin lovely. Kids beds are remade, all washing dried, folded and put away and I am now chilling before work. OH has told the kids that the dishes have to be done by the time I go to work. Not much happening on that front!

    HH Cuppa Time if anyone wants to join me. Then I'll shower. Don't worry, I won't ask you to join me in there :D

    He was watching a youtube video on how to make his own sword.. I think that counts as doing nothing.. cheeky toad came up to 'check what I was doing' and put Dot down for a nap an hour ago.. she will be woken shortly!

    I have emptied the baby's stuff in to 2 drawers and put my stuff away that doesn't fit at the moment.. but it will in a few months :p I need to empty Dots CoD's so that can be moved and can then be filled with her clothes that fit so I can ruthlessly sort the ones which don't.

    Looks like I am acquiring a spare child tonight.. glee! At least I know where they are I guess :D

    Back from the tip having de-cluttered 4 black bags full and the old ironing board. Where does all the carp come from? I keep thinking I will be more ruthless and throw stuff before it takes root but I never seem to get round to it:o
    At least the house is looking shiny, apart from the kitchen which I am about to tackle, so I am hoping to keep it that way with next weeks flying lists.
