Morning all

The sun is out, the kids are in the pool and all is well after I made pancakes for breakfast.

Off for a shower and then back out to do the geocaches which we abandoned in the downpour. When we popped in the supermarket after (we had no milk and I needed a cuppa when we got back) the water was running down my legs I was that wet.
DW on. Have a good day.

Valli - can you message me on FB - easier than trying to declutter my pm box.

Morning all

Yesterday didn't go to plan. The sewing too me a lot longer than I thought. Sewing black labels onto black clothing using black cotton when my nails are painted black was just too much for my eyes to cope with so I had to keep stopping. We did manage to declutter a number of programmes on the freeview, make a few loaves of bread in the breadmaker, a couple of loads of washing including DD's blazer which needs to be washed separate to the rest of the uniform as its a "no fabric conditioner" one and some dishes washed.

Today we're implementing a timetable way of getting things done. I've set alarms on my phone corresponding to the length of lessons in school and we'll fly during 'lessons' (I'll be finishing off the sewing - DDs new school pants need belt loops stitching on and I still need to label her jumper), and have breaks every hour or so. Hopefully it'll be more productive unlike yesterday which just vanished

I guess I best write a list:

Did most jobs last night so I could spend some nice time with dd, then woke up this morning and realised she was going to her dads!!

Have put the wm to go and am off to peg it out, and put the next load in. Also made extra lunch yesterday for me and dd to have today!! Will keep it for tea time now and add some mash with it for me and dh, stupid bank holiday has confused me totally!!

Done the dishes and wiped the work tops (was meant to polish them after but accidentally used air freshener) oops!!! Smells good though :rotfl: Didnt realise until dd commented on the nice smell!!

Bedroom antics! Main bedroom (yours!) or one in dire need!

Morning all

lots of washing out on the line and an empty dirty laundry basket1 WOOT!

DW emptied.

I need to go to work; I have a fish tank to clean out - the fish died though, which solves the problem of where they were going to live now I am baseless.

Mine are the same atm, I'm putting it down to grinding my teeth subconsciously. Either that or I need more work doing than I want to think about :eek:

In my HHC DD managed to iron 4 items while I S&S kitchen best I can as there's baking stuff out while I'm making bread, washed up and S&S the bathroom. Going to do some sewing now, I think I'll do the label on the jumper first then all the labelling is done

Morning all, feeling loads better today after a good sleep last night. Plan is to get Ozzy's room done, take him for a walk, go to shop and post office then get everyone feed and head to the horseriding. DS1 I think wants to stay at home so i'll do a nice listy for him and OH (insert wicked laugh). I shall reclaim this house and they will help.

Right cuppa first and then i'll make a start.
