    Morning all. Quick catch up then off to my first appointment - if he turns up on time. He was over an hour late last time and I had left the building!:mad:

    I finally finished the case studies and have just printed them off ready for tonight. I've skimmed through my morning dailies & DH will carry the baton for the rest of the day now while I do paid stuff.

    I completely forgot I also pruned the apple tree yesterday! :D But I'm especially happy about the understairs cupboard. :j
    Have a good day everyone, & Pigpen - try to rest a bit. You might not be on your last legs (yet) but I'm exhausted listening to your exploits. You need to throttle back a bit.

    Right, I'm back in... Currently off work due to severe morning sickness and the house has gone to poop! Flylady really helped me before, but I fell by the wayside when returning to 12.5 hour shifts :o I'm going to be super slow at getting through the lists (feeling very sorry for myself) but really need to do as much as possible while I'm off - we can't even properly get into the soon-to-be nursery (but currently ROOM OF DOOM) at the moment :eek:

    My HHC turned into more like an hours challenge but I did everything. :D

    Next, by 9.30am (hopefully)

    Put washing line up (I have one I only put out when I have lots of washing, and I have loads today)
    Hang washing out
    Put next load on with 2 hour delay
    Sort money bags out to take to the bank & fill out paying in form
    Get bag together to go to town.

    Don't want to leave any earlier than 9.30 as the buses will be busy with commuters/students/kids. Back soon :wave:
