Morning!
Just put a wash on as forecast rain here from tomorrow. Need to pop out to garage to get keycards recoded this morning, collect prescription, DS to school later and another roof co visiting to measure up this aft.
I've been off-list so far, but could really do with checking up to see what I've missed. Will definitely steam the downstairs floors tonight - DS feet were grim last night...
Hugs to all, seems there is some negative luck doing the rounds at the momentBossymoo

Just letting you know that I'm signing off for some time, DH is quite poorly and I can't keep to any routine as he obviously comes first ...
DD is at school:j Did the obligatory "first day at school" photo while getting snarled at, managed to make her smirk though so got a picture with a sort of smile
She was complaining that the blazer isn't as smart as last years, the jumper is thick, itchy and baggy etc etc. I just went "You wanted official school branded stuff, tough" hence the snarling! Ex complained that she looked too big :rotfl:
Today I've already stripped my bed, sorted the dirty washing, WMx1 and put DD's cuddly toys in the WM as they were looking very icky. The rest of the day I'll be working from my own list again and it looks something like this:
Update finances
Email / surveys
Make beds
Bath
WM/TD x5ish
Paid stuff - newsletter, prepare forms, prepare books, put books out
S&S bathroom
S&S kitchen
Tidy livingroom
Tidy bedrooms
Ironing
Also need to remember to take meds & do salt washesRoll on Monday and this all being over I hope. Need to try and come up with something soft for tea, normally we love crispy/hard stuff (like sausage, chicken, pasta bakes) but they're all still too hard atm as I learnt last night
Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0 -
Have just S&S the kitchen, cleared the draining board, put the BM on, and had a text to say the HUGE beanbag we ordered is being delivered today
well mostly
face although I have no idea where it's going to go as it's meant to go in the LR but that's getting painted today, eep!
