    Hi all! Just popping in to report todays (lack of) progress. I overslept and didn't get up until 4.50 :o which meant that I had to get straight on with tea. So today, done: Mow lawn (DH was handed an extention straight after work and got on with it :) ), Hoovered and mopped floors, clean sink and shine taps, wash windows, wiped hob and oven. I have also done 3 loads of washing and am just waiting for one to finish before I can go to bed as DS got his school jumper dirty and doesn't have another.
    DH and I planted up some sweet peas and livingstone daisies before tea too.
    I've also cleaned most of the inside of the oven but I wore out my brillo pad!
    I have training tomorrow from 9-12.30 and will then have to do some errands around. Then when I get back, I shall get on with things and try to catch up with the last 2 days lists!

    Good morning

    Not much more than urgent stuff/dailies managed last night. DS1 helped by pegging laundry out before work and DH brought it back in last night. DS2 helped by getting on with the homework he'd been stuck on at the weekend (writer's block, I think ;)). :A

    Hoover/wipe the sofas one done
    Dust the electricals/clean screens
    Wipe some paintwork, skirting boards

    Pigpen:-

    Given the evidence presented on this forum I don't think there's a jury in the land that would convict you (provided it was an all female jury!;);))

    Is it the same ex that was ringing your O/H in the past? She is seriously out of order!

    Off to make DD1's breakfast! Catch you later...

    Morning all. Yesterday I didn't manage the list or doing my bedroom so glad that's on the list today, although I'm not sure I'll have time today either. Took SickDog to the vet and decluttered over £100 though, and she has another ailment to add to her very long list, although she's actually doing really well at the moment.

    Right, as I've had a lie in, I'd better get moving and walk these dogs before the paid stuff.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning all

    Nicki the grumpy and tired you can do little about but surely you can prevent a sunburnt child from arriving home tonight?

    Off walking this morning then I need to finish my neighbours garden and strim the grass between the strawberry patches.

    Cricket later so hoping the sun shines for a lovely relaxing evening.
