Extra mission:
Pick whichever you want to attempt

* Look through the computer documents (internet favourites, word documents –etc.) deleting any that you don’t need, then defragment your computer - defrag done every day automatically with the backups.
*[STRIKE] Clean any ornamental objects in either of these rooms[/STRIKE]
* Wash your bathroom mats – especially if you have a little (or big) boy with dodgy aim - ours take FOREVER to dry so not even attempting this - was done last week anyway when the sun was shining !
* Sort your airing cupboard

Am hoping to sort the airing cupboard and some of the linen in store ready for moving, packing the stuff we dont need really adn maybe ebaying / freecycling some.
[STRIKE]
S&S kitchen and empty DW[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Pack Amazon stuff and upload ebay items for 10p listing day.[/STRIKE]
Go PO
Phone the bank
Try and find something for DH for his b'day :eek:
Finish books & cds (the mountain has gone!! just the odd few now.)


Hugs to everyone - even Rattie! - still not 100% here but getting there - damn virus makes me SOOOO tired all the time. Hope this weather isnt getting lil_me down too much! I have holidays so rarely ( last one two years ago - the second in 14 years!) that even when its freezing and pouring ( like our last one in late October!) and nowhere is open, it is STILL great ...

Morning all. :hello: What a miserable day here .

The meeting yesterday afternoon didn't finish until after 4pm so I am so glad I thought ahead and put tea in the slowcooker, just wish I had thought even further ahead and thought about weighing out and setting up the electric steamer with the rice so all I had to do was add boiling water and switch on :rolleyes: Lesson learnt!

Didn't seem to get much managed yesterday as the morning flew by so a little bit more of an effort will be required today although I'm not going to go mad :rotfl: I didn't get to bed until gone middnight as I got engrossed in the school log books again at least this time I was productive and wrote the more important events out like how they celebrated royal weddings, re-organising of the school, inspector visits etc :rotfl: I'm hoping to be able to write the whole thing out for the website (making sure I keep people as unidentifiable as possible ... Miss Smith, Miss Watson, A girl, A Boy, etc) but thats going to take a while so I think I might "schedule" that into my daily flying time as a TOP priority so I can get all 3 books back to school before they disintergrate! :eek:

Strange...just come to organise my list and my settings in User CP Options have been changed to "Standard" as opposed to advanced I couldn't quote anything properly or make lists like I normally do

Well I got nothing done last night as I went to bed at 6pm.. and got up this morning at 7:30am... I was up twice in the night for drugs and juice and a pee but other than that and the fact I woke up every time hubby came in the room I had quite a nice snooze.. but I was burning burning hot but the fever appeared to break about 1am when I started perspiring like nothing on earth.. up to a shower this morning lol.

I'll see what I am capable of today but I doubt it will be much!!

I am still feeling very pleased with myself after attacking the cupboard yesterday - how can I have left it for so long when it only took half an hour to sort??! Plan of action for today:
Thursday

• Wash floors
• Change kids' beds and hoover rooms
• Take SIL to train at 10am
• BM
• Sort and put away misplaced stuff from lounge - in washing basket at moment
• Make cakes for visit to friends and Rainbows fete next week with DD when she comes home from school

Weather has brightened here, but I don't trust it to stay that way. I am going to put washing on line and hope.

cos we all put things off. My new motto is just do it now, cos things rarely take as long as you think, although in my case when i'm marking stuff at work it takes longer than i think
