    I've been trimming mad. Next doors garden all neat and so is my lady garden.

    Lunch break now then to decide paperwork, flying or shopping.

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

    She's smothered in "day long" sun cream factor 30 so I'm hoping it lasts ;) She's sitting out in a park all day watching/playing tennis and from what I've heard from when her primary school went, there's not much shade for them. One time the primary school went and the teacher thought since it was cloudy she'd be fine without sun cream on. She came back to school looking like a before and after picture! The back of her was white, the front was red raw with sunburn.:eek:

    I've spent the morning doing paperwork, now time to enter details in my account software. Only 2 years worth to input! Good job I keep detailed paper ones :rotfl:

    Good afternoon everyone. I am struggling with the heat today as it is 23 degrees which does not go well with being 7.5 months pregnant. I am managing to struggle through and get some work done so not too bad.

    Updated list:
    Monday
    1. Sweep and mop the kitchen floor
    2. Clean the kitchen walls
    3. Order pet supplies

    Tuesday
    1. Call at the chemist to collect dd's medicine
    2. HHI
    3. Water plants
    4. Dust and deweb the living room
    5. Clean the fire place

    Wednesday
    1. HH tidy and declutter in dd's bedroom
    2. Check ebay for an idea of how much to list some items for
    3. HHI
    4. Take ds to football
    5. Do mystery shopping work
    6. Catch up with emails
    7. Do some course work
    8. Sort clothes, bags and lunches for Thursday
    9. Laundry (do 3 loads) First load in
    10. Surveys and daily work
    11. HH tidy and declutter in the master bedroom
    12. Sort customer orders
    13. Change and wash dd's bedding
    14. Sort through work bag and get rid of any rubbish

    I think I will do my weekly online shop tonight and get it delivered tomorrow, so that I can order some ice lollies, as this weather is really too hot for me at the moment, however if it wants to be like this after August I will be more than happy.

    Cot stripped, bed stripped.. both WMs on.

    Cuppa glugged, cheesecake snaffled.. Next returns organised..

    I may need a nap now :p

    Minnie.. my sisters garden thermometer says 39.3'C... yes 39.3.. count yourself lucky.. I don't actually think it is that hot tbh... not hot enough for me to take off my cardy that is a certainty!!! I'm not that far behind you in gestation, 5 or 6 weeks I think.. and am immense as usual... and I've gained 2lb in a week.. *cry* It took 18 months to lose 2st9 after Dot and I have piled 2st6 on again already.. I weighed 3lb less after having Dot than I did the morning I went in and had her.. 3lb weight loss to have a 5lb baby is very wrong!!! So I can't even rely on losing most of it in water etc. it is entirely depressing.

    I need to start doing Moomins packing for her residential.. oh, I best ring the chemist see if they managed to get her prescription too! She has 3 injections left.

    Stopped by my bank today to discuss changing the status of my account - it's a regular current account even though I am a full-time student. Submitted all the backup paperwork and from the next fee quarter onwards I will be back to having a fee free student account. Yay! I'm well chuffed because that is also the quarter that they will be introducing quarterly maintenance fees for regular current accounts.

    Dusty - that made me laugh.

    The chalet is ready for tomorrow's arrivals and I've sorted out the details for the next let as well so that'll save me time in a couple of weeks. Decluttered a load of clean old bedding from there because I'm going to managing some accommodation in a few weeks time and it looks as though we'll be using student lets - no bedding supplied. I may have to go to a carboot to acquire a few pillows and duvets. I've also got enough laundry to do another two full loads, but there's a weather warning for tomorrow, so they'll have to wait.

    I think I've broken Mrs Dog. I went a bit mad around the house yesterday and this morning, and around the chalet today. She follows me everywhere at the moment and she's utterly exhausted but she so wants to know she's not missing anything.
    Better is good enough.

    Hi all

    So I finished paid stuff early today, but have to dial in for a call in 10min. But managed to get to mr s for milk and snacky bits, also found black trousers in DS size :T so he's all set now except the sweaters. They also want them to have a track suit for outdoor pe but I'm sure he has the bottoms, so will get him a zip top too. Then shoes, nearer the time. I see a marathon labelling session coming on!

    I have catching up to do tomorrow including laundry, which I haven't touched since Sunday, kids beds and the bathrooms. And I want to have a fridge and freezer sort. Righto, I'm off to my call, then will get the babes, and catch you all later...

    Away with the fairies :beer:
