Evening all

Welcome Claudesmum.

Lots of laundry done, our bed remade and dishes done and that is it. Never mind. Find it hard to settle to doing stuff with workmen in although he is mainly outside.

Paid stuff early in the morning until lunchtime and then back for another Gov meeting at 4pm so not going to be very productive tomorrow I fear.

Just need to sort out ironing a dress for tomorrow and then I may call it a day.

Welcome claudesmum! It really helps. Try setting your kitchen timer for just 15 min then tackle one small corner. You'll be amazed how much you can do. Have a box for rubbish, a box for recycling, a box for stuff that needs to be sent to another room etc. Then have a brew and survey your progress. Hopefully you will be spurred on to do another 15min. Once you've started to clear stuff away, it's surprising how quick cleaning can be.

Pigpen, how are your grandbeasts nearly 1???

I go on holiday 8 weeks tomorrow! :T We all have loads of clothes, but DD needs swimmy bottoms and I want a plastic shower curtain. So I can make them a paddling pool on the beach when I need them to stay in the shade. Last year my mum had to carry DD screaming out of the sea - people must have thought she was being kidnapped

Not a lot achieved tonight - FIL is here, so we've had a little natter but he's not very talkative tonight. Anyway, he's been fed and given the remote control so in true man style he channel hops to the most boring program then starts to nod off, till I try to reclaim the remote "oh I was watching that" :rotfl: still he put the garden chairs and bikes away whilst I bathed DD. DS been swimming so showered there. DD came home with blue hands. So I needed to soak her

Kitchen dailies done, clothes out for morning, packed lunch made etc.

Nearly zzzzzzs time I have an early start tomorrow.

Well I'm up and about so first things first need to declutter tea into myself and DH then pack him off to work. I have a doctors appointment at 9:20 so hoping to get some flying done (and finish the kitchen at last) before then. I know I should have moved on to the next days rather than lingering, but it really needed doing and I've managed to get rid of a lot of gibble, so it's looking much better for it. Just need to reorganise and clean the cupboard I avoided yesterday because it had a HUGE spider in it , clean the fridge, mop the floors and then it's done!

Hope everyone's looking forward to a full day of flying - I need to stop being distracted by the tennis and nice weather!
