Morning all,
Feeling rather behind with flying so will make a big push tonight. Should be helped that tea tonight is a home made curry which should have just switched on in the SC. Quite looking forward to that! Felt odd making tea at 6.30am though, hadn't even ahd breakfast :rotfl:

Just a quick update of the list then back to the paid stuff, overtime started this morning and hoping to be earlier tomorrow too. Anything done over the next few weeks will be paid at the end of November so a handy boost leading up to Christmas.

Have a good all, hugs, spoons and vibes where needed

Morning all

been to dentist
re-arranged next appointment because I now expect not to have a 'day off' before you-know-what.
Left last batch of lego soaking in a mix of dishwasher tablets and washing soda for that convincing 'grease-free-and-scum-free' look. Now hanging from washing line in a net bag.

DD and I are plotting to 'hit' Boots for the shopping day tomorrow. I am trying to persuade her to use giftcard bought from Morrisons for the fuel saver too. So she has to go there, first.

Ironing done

Honey_Bear

Oooh. Surprise! We're going to see Birmingham Royal Ballet's Triple Bill this afternoon. I'll have to get my skates on as I am half way through doing a number of sorting and tidying jobs, so the place is in chaos. Don't want to come back to that. Cleaning cupboards turned out, baking cupboard turned out and stuff is going to be boxed for the attic. And I wanted to mend a duvet zip this afternoon so I'd best do that now.

pigpen

2 loads of washing out
2 loads in
2 loads folded.
DW on
cuppa made
recipe sorted for biscuits..

Food kind of decided on.. chicken for some, chicken casserole for others new potatoes or chips. Need to organise a vegetarian something for DD1's OH.. I'll maybe pop to the shop when OH gets back and see what's on offer

Pixie still asleep so I hope to get some more done before she wakes up.

10 minutes before washers are finished so I'm having a cuppa, I should then be able to clear the kitchen floor!

Tonight.. sausage casserole with mash.

nicki_2

So I sort my order out and there's stuff missing I think I'm going to have to take my time sorting it out to make sure I've definitely got all the missing items. Looks like I'm going to be working on these orders all day. Good job I'm not delivering until Friday night so I have an extra day

Trying to decide what to have for tea tonight. We're having "worms & vomit" aka spag bol tomorrow and we've already had pasta and chicken this week so I don't want them. I am totally uninspired. Think I might go and wash up. Thats when I usually get my cooking inspiration, although usually I don't have one or more of the ingredients in :rotfl:

ETA: Just saw Pigpens post. I think I'll do sausage casserole tonight as well now lol

Afternoon.

Thought I'd posted today but I haven't.

Small child was coughing all night so we took a trip to the gp this morning, he has anti biotics.

Not done much today at all. Doctors were running horrendously behind, then I went to Morrisons as I was that way. Came home & sat down & haven't got back up.

So I need to stop lazing about and Get On.

I shall just go with what I need to do as it's easier this week while the kids are off.

My list

Sort clean clothes & iron any that need it.
Clean kitchen units. Sort a few shelves.
Hoover downstairs.
Hoover where I can upstairs.
Swish loos & sink.
Clean fish tank.

Right, I am going to shut off he iPad & get on. Never mind a HHC, this will be a 3 hour clean!

Love (((hugs))) & spoons x

Afternoon all

Just back from Ik£A. Will need to wait until DH is back from the US and overe the jetlag before my purchases can go up which is annoying but not the end of the world.

Striped, washed and put my bedding on the line so I'll see if that is nearly dry and put the last bits out for a while, trying to reduce the condensation in the house.

pigpen

2x WM done
2 drawers in the kitchen emptied cleaned and most of the contents thrown in the bin.. WHY do we have 7+ spatulas????
TD on
shopping away
hallway and middle room cleared of toys and vacuumed.
Clean laundry all away
surfaces swept
Tantrum had

I am totally off on one.. the children are being little poops at the moment and I am pig sick of it so they are cleaning and I am barking commands.. no nice asking.. if they want to be horrible they are asking for the consequences. Lazy little turds couldn't be bothered to tell me there was someone at the door so I missed a parcel which was the final straw after the squabbling and whining and mess making I kind of flipped..
