  • Morning

    Beautiful day here, so decided to wash all the bedding, kids instructed to strip their beds, if they don't it doesn't get washed! The girls are 19 and 16 so it will depend on what time they surface as to when I get theirs, but if its too late it will not get done;)

    The kitchen is looking much better, just going to scrub the baking trays which I left soaking overnight, and then will get cracking with todays jobs.

    have a good day everyone

    See you soon x

    Morning all

    woke up earlier, came and switched on WM and DW

    then fell asleep - been awake about 15 minutes *blush*

    have pegged out washing (clothes over nightie) and am about to head in the shower, now I've slurped a :coffee:.

    Wash your door sausage or make one if you need it
    Check kids pencil cases ready for the return for school, no kids sort your own stationery, think about planner/diary for next year if you like a 16 month one


    No door sausage, none needed.

    DIARIES - Academic year diaries are cheap in the supermarkets ATM - some places (Sains I think) have them on BOGOF too;)

    Morning all!

    As predicted, Monday was a write off -- got back from decluttering DSS, flopped onto bed and watched a couple of West Wings before going to PIL's for dinner with the family. Think the only job I achieved was the washing up and WM x 1, but I have had a mammoth sleep :o and I am peachy keen to catch up again. Ergo…

    Kitchen

    Clean and tidy surfaces
    Sweep and mop
    Wipe door handles
    Clean out and organise main dry food cupboard

    Living room

    Dust all surfaces
    Vacuum
    Clean coffee table of madness (glass, UGH)
    Clean out hammies

    Laundry
    WM x 2 if there's enough drying space
    ALL the blippin' ironing

    Bathroom
    Clean the carpet around the loo, again, whilst silently cursing DSS
    Clean the bath
    S&S sink and toilet

    Empty all the bins
    Vacuum our bedroom
    Clean all my makeup brushes (big job in itself, I have bazillions)

    Home all day today and OH has informed me he's gymming every morning (believe it when I see it) and probably working late every evening this week so I should have oodles of time to get through this whilst munching a frog or two too.

    Still at the caravan, poured with rain yesterday so we stayed in, today is bright and sunny so we are going to a nearby bird sanctuary/nature reserve

    on the flying front I have washed a tea towel and bleached the loo

    Hope you all have a good day!!
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last
