    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    Hardly any trick or treaters here so I have loads of sweets left over again. Apparently while I was out getting a chippy tea and DD was left in to answer the door (she didn't want to go the chippy) some little child outside our door said in a posh voice "daddy, do you think that light is on or not?" to which the dad replied "not sure so we'd best leave it" so they didn't knock. If I'd been here I would have opened the door and given them extra for being so polite :( I think next year I may have to decorate my window so people know we're happy for them to knock :o No where to leave a pumpkin and I wasn't paying out for decorations.

    Just realised I need to do a newsletter and prepare 2 books for school for tomorrow morning before I deliver at 8.30am and I haven't done any! Guess I'm getting up at 6am with DD then! Not staying up now, too tired.

    Fridays plan:
    Newsletters
    Contact customer re collecting order
    Contact Av0n re missing/damaged items :mad:
    Cut/stamp Christmas forms
    Prepare books
    Washing up x 2 (bulky stuff :() - DD did crockery bits today.
    Tea / veg
    Deliveries : School 8.30am, rest in the evening.

    Weekend Plan:
    Complete weeks list with DD's help Saturday
    Order birthday/Christmas cards.
    Ironing
    Sunday while DD is out all day: Complete photocopying for Christmas window display, Check finances, start official christmas shopping list, concentrating on DD's list first as almost everyone else is already sorted on my mental list ;)

    I best get a wriggle on and get to bed if I'm getting up at 6am:eek:

    Urgh. I've wasted 2 hours on DD's maths homework this evening :(. I say wasted because I can't figure it out. If she gets stuck on something, I do it myself so that I can explain it to her. Even with the help of google I can't get my head round it. DH is currently sitting with google and paper and pencil trying to work it out.
    Someone on fb gave me the answer and a link to a website but none of us understand the explanation so no point DD writing the answer down as she'll only be cheating herself. Have told her to leave it blank so that is explained to her at school.
    It's called alphametics. :eek: and I'm not too shabby at maths!

    Morning all. We had lots of trick/treaters last night because this year I actually remembered to put decs out and the light on. The effort that had gone in to all the costumes was amazing.

    Anyway, I have completed my flying for this week. I haven't done all the lists but each room has had attention and this morning, I've cleaned all the windows inside as the window cleaner did the outsides yesterday and I gave the bathroom S&S.

    About to start a few busy hours of paid stuff, but please can I ask for some more of the flylady come home vibes for SickDog as she is back to the vet today. Of course, I will take their advice on next step but I really would like another week of cuddles with her as long as she is pain free and comfortable.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Get well sickdog hope you are home for cuddles soon.

    Dealt with lots of administration and paperwork this morning so far. DW set off. Breakfast things put away.

    I'm working at 10 and the litttlies are going to go to a church event with MIL. SIL is taking DS1 & 2 bowling with her 2 boys. I'm meeting them there and we will peruse the discount retail outlet while they bowl.

    Tree surgeon has turned up to trim our hedges. I could have sworn I said next Friday. Need to get to the bank to get him some money.
