how did you get on skinty?

i didnt manage as much as id hoped, put wu in soak, put DS2s tea on - hes got scouts so got to eat early. found some more shoes that i think are too small so destined for CS. must remember to look for bigger walking boots for him now hes gone up a couple of sizes since he last wore them. tortoise fed, recycling sorted.

need to carry on and do some more

Been chasing my tail only Mrs M-Pjust got a chance to get back onto lappy.....all the small appliances done with the stainless steel cleaner, so then used on the big appliances too, cooker, cooker hood, outside of microwave, and kitchen scales

Finished all the kitchen doors, sockets, kick boards, washed all tea, coffee, sugar canisters, pasta jar, rumpot, fruit bowl. Kitchen plants watered, clutter rehomed, skirting boards wiped.....DW done x 2 (thanks to DD3 for that one)

Utility windowsill and one worksurface wiped

Sorted out mobile contract for next 2 years, and weaseled the phone I wanted at a discount :money: arrives tomorrow morning

Sorted repeat scrip should be ready for end of week

Wm again X4 , just pegged last load out in the dark as temp was 23deg outside according to thermometer - humidity is against me overnight obviously, but worst case scenario will be dry by 11am tomorrow morning

Put DD4 steriliser away in the cupboard for dire emergencies.....she protests at Daisy milk in a bottle, so easier for me to stop what I am doing and go into Daisy mode, than to faff around with making up a bottle from frozen Daisy and find a co operative young Skint to [STRIKE]give[/STRIKE] wrestle it down her neck

Bins done

looking at the kitchen, the last big things to be done - polish the sink and mop the floor :j:j:j:j

washing kitchen windows and all the main doors can wait :rotfl:

[STRIKE]Sort through your cookery books/magazines. Are there any that you don't need that are just taking up space? Rehome them to the local charity shop...[/STRIKE] nope all the cookery books and loose recipes in the kitchen are the ones that come out time and time again, splattered with ingredients, mainly indian spices :eek: all the food PRON cookery books and SW recipe books are upstairs!

Kaz you are right, there are some tools he made many moons ago, since he had been in the job since aged 15, but they will be staying here as the memories and stories attached are huge, the everyday tools were kept as DS was thinking about following him, but since his shoulder and back are already arthritic there is no chance he could do that job long term!

Dustykitten

Ready for school before the transfer window closed.

JJ I hope your first day was an enjoyable one

Kaz DS3 starts secondary school tomorrow, he'll be going up to the bus stop and school with DS2. I hope your DD enjoys here day.

Rosy welcome

Bossy hugs for tomorrow. If it is any consolations DH never came to my boys first day of school, or last. I don't remember many Dad's being their either.

Bed for me. Tomorrow I shall make a start on the oodles and ooodles of paperworkwith I expect lots of distraction breaks.

Mumto5

I have made better progress than I expected now that I have reviewed the list.

DH's Mum has come out of her op finally and was admitted to HDU at 10pm tonight. Everything is as well as can be expected and for that we are very grateful.

Hi everyone. It's been a busy day for me and I'm exhausted, managed to get quite a bit done and I think tomorrow will be more relaxed :-). Tomorrow the only extra I have to do is clean out a couple of rabbit hutches

A busy day is about to start. Everyone is up and breakfast has been eaten. I'm going to walk the youngest 2 to school at 8.30, then visit the market to get my fruit (much cheaper than Te5co). I'll walk home and attempt a bit of the list before I go to work. I'm trying to decide if I should cycle. The road is a high traffic area and the pavement is very narrow. Back home at 2pm and another chance to fly. I have 2 extra boys tonight after school so dinner needs to be early. To finish it all off I'm babysitting at 7.15 unless I get a text today to say its off.

Good luck and butterfly calming vibes to all flykids and flyladies with children starting/changing schools this week.

It's foggy out this morning, hoping it clears so the bedding can go on the line. Accidentally left OHs socks on the line overnight, do I need to rewash or just let them dry out again?

I need to make a soup today so shall have to pop to either the green grocer or the farm shop, depending on how far I want to travel, might just be green grocer actually. Will update later with my completed list
