    I was bucketing down this morning so after dropping DD1 to the train station I had to come back and take DD2 to school. It's rare for me to take her as I HATE driving in school traffic :mad:
    I had weightwatchers this morning (lost a pound :) ) so that took up my morning.
    Our new bin system starts tomorrow :cool: so I've remembered to empty to small food waste bin into the big food waste bin outside and washed out the small bin.
    DW has been on, unloaded and part reloaded.
    I've washed and tumble dried some dog bedding. I've managed to get quite a lot of limescale off the kitchen cold water tap (white vinegar on kitchen roll, inside a freezer bag tied round the tap over night) and the inside of the glass bowl thing on the washing machine :huh:
    I've put a load of woollies on to wash, unloaded the airer ready to be reloaded and sorted through a pile of paperwork.
    Doesn't seem a lot for 3 hours does it? :o

    I've also organised and defrosted what we need for dinner. We have to eat quickly tonight as my friend has moved the workshop I help out with from a Wednesday evening to a Tuesday evening as we've moved to a bigger hall. DD1 won't be home from college til 6 and we have to be at the hall 7.15 at the latest :eek:
    I'm a little worried about tonight to be honest, my friend has had to increase the amount people has to pay and it's my job to collect up the money. The thing is some people aren't very forthcoming with it and I'm really not good at asking :(:o plus we have 2 new people coming so I have to go through all the rules and regs and paperwork. I get so scared of messing up or saying something wrong it makes me feel sick :o
  • Well my after my very successful first day flying, day two has been a disappointment. I could feel the niggle of a headache first thing this morning and managed to get the kids to school, have a quick tidy in the LR and put 2x WM on the airer before I was bed bound with the beginnings of a migraine. Luckily a few hours sleep has helped, kids are picked up and DH has offered to cook. A quiet, lazy night ahead for me before back to flying tomorrow. I hope everyone is have a more productive day than me :)

    Hi all

    Been at paid stuff but got a few extras done last night and just had a hhc. Sitting down now before everyone gets here for fireworks. Also need to go put green bin out...

    Fireworks Tuesday - Living Room and Hallway
    Only got 15 minutes....
    [STRIKE]Clear and wipe coffee table and mantle don't pile it all back put it away![/STRIKE]
    30 minutes to spare....
    [STRIKE]Hoover floors[/STRIKE]
    Hoover/wipe sofas
    Got an hour....
    Sort out a cupboard/drawer/display cupboard - do you need all that stuff tucked away at the back?
    Sweep leaves from your doorstep and give the door a wipe inside and out if you can

    Extras
    Do something that makes you happy - watch some fireworks
    Update your calendar/diary and synch/compare with family members as required
    Wash any throws or cushion covers which need it

    Doesn't look like much bit I have moved the little toy Cabinet back into the conservatory from its temporary home in the hall. Heater on in conservatory now and side blinds shut to try keep a little heat in. It's quite pleasant actually :)

    We are having bacon butties for tea :D

    Pigpen, I hope the dreaded lurgy doesn't spread :o
