No houses to view this evening. It should have meant that I then did some actual flying and tackled the ironing mountain. But I have a cold and I was so tired I've sat on the sofa for a couple of hours

Cleaned sink and dish drainer
Cleaned kitchen windowsill
Washed dishes
Cleaned kitchen surfaces and wiped over hob and appliances
Wiped DR windowsill
Wiped DR table

Sorry for being off-list, but I'm just so behind in post-wedding and house-buying chaos that I am using my own initiative. I really appreciate the lists and the thread is just great. I seriously get so much done when I'm posting in on here, so thank you to you all :T

Up to 56 of the 80 squares required for my blanket.. 24 to go
I've done 4 today.. that is about 3 hours spent knitting.
I've ramped up my Next balance again with sale stuff.. there is usually a lot to go back . mainly school stuff, baby stuff and shoes..and undies for DD3 not a single thing for myself of course and maybe 2 tshirts for OH.. I have my eye on a couple of his to fling
Half dead pigeon removed from my kitchen.. still attached to the cat.. so I need to prod OH to sweep the kitchen first thing in the morning as it is full of feather.. as is the garden!!! The disgusting vermin had had its wing almost ripped off so if it manages to survive until the morning it will be taken to be .. deceased. There was nowhere to take it at 9pm tonight or we would have done it already and I am not popping off a rat bird.. just thinking about them turns my stomach
Bed time for me I think..
Tesco delivery in the morning, and a lovely discussion about what contraception we are going to sort for DD2.. and finishing the packing for the weekend and an epic vacuuming session!.. oh my day is filled with delights!!LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
Morning,
After my sort last night I left a butterfly clip and cute compact mirror in DD room. She's just seen them;
"Mummy what are deeees?"
"They are for you. One is a hair clip and one is a mirror. I found them and thought you might like them."
"Oh, are dey for me?"
"Yes, sweetie"
"Oh dey are really nice, fank you mummy"bless her. I think we're in for a good day.
Need to collect their tablets but I think I might cancel the princess castle. I've slept on it, and although she likes little figures, she prefers to carry them in a handbag rather than put them in their houses...
DS is under his bed. Will go get a breakfast picnic soon...Bossymoo
