Evening everyone
My house have turned to h*ll and I really need help to get on top of it while I'm on holiday. So I have decided to try to do as much as possible on the lists for each day to help get to a place I need to be.
I have a list of things I need to do but would never think of wiping the top of door frames.
I will report back to either surprise or shame myself.
Might as well start now as I'm up with the little one. He has finally dozed off on the sofa so I will start to declutter this room first.
Really want to go to bed though.1 debt v's 100 days chapter 34: T3sco bank CC £250/£525.24 47.59%

To drop kids at nursery this morning then wfh. Need to pop to town for some supplies for Hawaii day later and get my craft head on...
Will put a wash on if its dry today, too.
Maybe we need a school holidays challenge or something? Bit like the new year ironing challenge?

Good morning ladies. Thanks for the new thread Natty.
I am beginning a third day with a swollen leg, ankle and foot. This was caused by an insect bite on Friday night. I had to see the emergency Dr to get ab's. it's so painful, my skin feels like its going to split open.
Flying is being delegated to DS1 who is still causing trouble and DS2 who has finished school. DS3 and DD2 break up on Tuesday.
We have tentatively booked a house in Cornwall for a week. I'm waiting for the confirmation email.
Good day wishes for everyone.0 -
Oh my, mumto5! Can you take antihistamines with the antibiotics to help the inflammation?

Thanks for thread Natty. I shall be in this week. Really hoping for a fog free week this week as it's been a month since we had one! Looked out the window and it is yet another pea souper here. Very thankful I'm not having to fly anywhere.
Mumto5 hope you have a speedy recovery.Sealed Pot Challenge 6 - 20580 -
Morning All
Mumto5 - did the doctor not give you some strong antihistamines as well as antibiotics? Hope they work soon.
Hoping to get quite a bit done today and then I've got Cubs tonight and the dentist at 4 - don't let me forget! WM is already on but that's about all I've done so far.
Have a good day all
Hugs

Thanks ladies. I've taken antihistamine since Saturday. Normally it takes down any swelling caused by bites. This is something much worse. Dr tod me to continue with AH's.0

Morning
Thank you for the lists
Day off from my 'other job', but at my other job today, if you see what I mean....!
WM is on
2 loads from last night out on the line, but it is misty here atm.
Cat fed
Shopping list made, if it is not on the list then it is not going in the basket, tight budget this week.
Bins cleaned out and smelling better
Meal / food plan for the week made, items that are required are on said list.
This afternoon
To Milton Keyens to use up a voucher I have, I want new flip flops, so the voucher will more than cover them, might also get 2 new bra's, and see what other bits there are, it is so long since I have been to MK round the 'big' shops! normally steer clear as lack of funds.
Garden is also getting weeded this afternoon.

Morning all. Been up since 6am but took the opportunity to watch my programmes in peace while I had breakfast since DD is home
Change of plans for today. The forecast is a high of 28C and I am not dragging DD round the shops for uniform in that heat as she hates shopping at the best of times. Its supposed to be cooler later in the week so we'll go then. Tomorrow is going to be a wash-out if the forecast is to be believed so maybe Wednesday before all the schools break upMy plan for today is to get DD flying, she is more than capable and I'm hoping that if she has to do the housework for a week then maybe she'll stop leaving a trail of destruction behind her
If she thinks she's going to spend the next 6 weeks sat on her bottom in front of the TV she's in for a surprise!
I, on the other hand, have accounts & TC to do. I'll phone them with the update, but I'm majorly behind as I did no accounts last weekI also need to go to school to drop some orders off at lunchtime, and I have deliveries tonight which I had forgotten about. I should pick up fresh salad stuff while I'm out but I think I might just organise a Mr A delivery for tomorrow if its still cheap delivery, then I can order DD's stationary for school at the same time
