    Morning all

    Only day off this week :eek: and it it, of course, raining.

    Ah well (GLAD GAME ALERT) at least the pollen will be dampened down - DS was horrendous with hayfever last night. Mind you he had been out, in the sunshine, playing football for hours...and my water butt will get a top-up, and my spuds, strawberries, rhubarb and blackcurrants will get a good wetting!

    Emptied DW and WM; 1 load in TD as I type.

    Morning all :D

    Slower start to the day. I've got a cracking headache and I'm really sleepy so apologise but nothing has stuck when I've read the thread so hugs, vibes, wishes & sticks to those who'd like some! Might go and wash my face with some cold water and see if that wakes me up.

    Paid stuff yesterday, and scheduled paid stuff today. Just waiting on my computer to do its scans & updates before I attempt to start. Pointless before then as the browser runs so slow and I'll just get very frustrated.

    I did the bathroom earlier in the week so I'm not to worried about flying today. Paid stuff takes priority.

    Errands - HB, Charity

    Sort out account format that works for me & print sheets!

    Look into POB stuff / get postcards with info printed on / recanvas using postcards

    General:
    Beds made TFSS
    Washing up
    TFSS
    HHProject TFSS
    HStuday TWTFSS
    Finances TFSS
    Check school website (before bed) TFSS

    Frog list:

    Off to put the breadmaker on & get some butter out the freezer. Glad I picked 2 blocks up as I'd forgotten DD has her cookery test today and the block I got out yesterday is basically gone. Another coffee is needed as well I think. Might put a sugar in it.

    Morning all. Decided to gym, shower and walk the dogs so bedroom is neglected again. Paid stuff now so I'll see what I can catch up on after.

    Have a good day everyone.

    Morning

    Kazw, he is posing, that's all :D

    Kitchen sorted, cooking done, DW on, WM on (is raining :() kids fed and face paints dabbed (DS has a dragon tattoo on arm and DD has love hearts on her cheeks). Now having :coffee: and going to look at my lists...

    I also need a HH paperwork at some point - mostly stuff that needs filing, but need to create a slot for school stuff now!

    Morning All :wave:

    Didn’t get much done at all last night, DH’s new phone came & he was working so he asked me to set it up. Didn’t get to the high school either as kids were still eating dinner around 4.15 & the uniform people were only there until 5, so I will go tonight. Got the bedding done, & general nightly stuff. My hotspot to do tonight is going to be the ironing, its spilling onto the floor, need to sort it into manageable piles!

    Skint– Hope your DD gets her appointment soon & manages to get the support she needs to help her quit.

    I have a Week 2 Morrisons Voucher if any good to anyone? I do my shop 4-weekly so its no good to me.

    Monday ~ Living room, Hall and downstairs Loo – ALL DONE!

    Morning all

    Just wanted to say thanks for the wishes for DH, they have worked, he is going back to work tomorrow :]] 6 months of pain have now gone, hopefully forever, fingers crossed

    I had a blip yesterday but am back on the bandwagon today :]]
