    Dancemum, I hope everything has gone ok.

    Well today I have:

    Done a day's paid stuff
    Hoovered downstairs
    Walked the dogs twice
    Done one washload which is now on airer
    Taken Littleydog for her booster
    Collected a Xmas order in town (next time I will pay for delivery)

    Just cooking tea, day two of our turkey challenge and tonight I am going to cut DH's hair and then sit down with the papers.

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

    Living room now looking beautiful again - kitchen still looks like a bomb site.

    Dinner tonight was pizza.
    Store bought £1.50 pizza, frozen.
    Served on the torn up packaging that it came in as all of our big plates need washing (Ok we only have 6 but thats still pretty bad!)...hoping my mother-in-law-to-be doesn't hear of this neglect! :eek: :rotfl:

    Thinking of all the poorly ones, and those with poorly relatives.

    Great news for DS, dusty!

    DD isn't quite right either. I'm wondering if she has a water infection. She's had an accident today at nursery, and had some near misses at the weekend. This is unheard of for her. She was quite hysterical at bedtime, so not like her at all :( will see what kind of a night she has.

    DS on the other hand had a fab day. Was training day so he spent the day with his friend, who's mum offered to have him for the day. They only live at the end of the road. It was his first time playing at a pals house without me there. Although I was WFH so nearby. He had an absolute ball. Then had swimming lesson and swam across the pool on his back without armbands :T

    I've got loads of work done, plus done the downstairs floors and some tidying. I've put together two packed lunches, then realised I'm only in the office one day :doh: Now I'm just waiting for Mr A delivery. Then its shower and bed for me, early start tomorrow (DD permitting, but MIL is here so help is at hand).

    It could be an interesting night...

    Hello all

    no cleaning done - I have, however, been to Morries and used the staff shopping day discount to stock up on essentials.
    I can't fit everything in the cupboard!

    WOOT!

    a collectible item has a bid on fleabay, finally.

    Als have returned two bags of clothing to colleague as, clearly, they ain't gonna fetch her a small fortune - she's going to take them to an agency.

    So, all in all, excellent flingage!

    Lozzy hope your change of meds helps your head

    Bossy well done to DS on his swimming and hope DD is back to herself soon

    Seriously boring FGB meeting decluttered, getting close to calling it a day.

    Just doing the list then I need to see if RP will eat anything and bed, a bit of paid stuff in the morning.
