All DD3's clean washing that she has refused to put away all week is now in TWO big black bin liners on her bed.....DD3 has now put the whole lot away :j Skinty is not to be trifled with.

Group BD appointment decluttered - actually went well. Operation Find Keys was dissected, so hopefully a 3 day meltdown will be avoided if a similar incident happens in the future.

Roast in Oven as we speak.....once it cools down I am planning to fish the oven bulb out that hasn't work since EX left (and do the two in the cooker hood at the same time) then get the oven off Listy.

Making another batch of Vegan cookies for DD3 in a minute while oven it hot....time to chuck potatoes in oven for my famous roasties......back later to try and get a clean sweep :wave:

You sound a lot more positive today, skinty :T - hope it means that your BD has gone after one of my sticks and will leave you well alone.

:bdaycake::bdaycake:
Happy birthday to juliejim and to CY's DD2.

Nice jumper, mrs-mp :cool:
Well done, Mumto5, re your DS2

DH and I have been working on our respective tasks all day and we have achieved quite a lot Just having a little break now, after balancing at the top of a stepladder (held steady by DH) for half an hour to put up a curtain pole on the half landing. No, it wasn't on my original list for today, but I got fed up trying to step over and past the tools and stepladder

Having recovered both my breath and my equilibrium, I will make a :coffee: for us both and then carry on hanging the curtains and light fitting

It has taken me all day, but I now have a proper list of what I need to order for work. I didn't realise I have so many supplies already in! Only £25 worth of stuff for the year this time I will have lots to send back though.

Think I'll go get some tea then do some of the kitchen list. Need to write shopping lists for tomorrow as well so I don't forget anything.

WEEK
Mon: Finish window, kitchen/livingroom, Write xmas cards (fly, work, family)
Tue: DD off, Mr A shop, bedrooms & bathroom, work (sort returns)
Wed: Work all day (orders, calling cards, change)
Thur: DD on trip until 7pmish (making own way home), deliveries (territory), Notes for customers with contact details for over Xmas/next book due, update paperwork.
Fri: Deliveries (school), bank? top up shop?
Sat: Ex here
Sun:

MUST DO:
Dye hair
Write & post Xmas cards
Finish xmas shopping lists ready for when I'm paid.
Book Mr A delivery for Xmas week (include stuff for over new year while DD is away)
Sponsor DD (find form and get it written up - Ex £5 as well)

Ideal:
Arrange charity collection (DD has outgrown loads of clothes etc )
Bake Xmas cakes & mince pies
Marzipan Xmas cake next day to stop it getting eaten again
Finish Xmas shopping if I have the money 'spare'.
Xmas decorations up (not happening before Friday at the earliest)

Haven't made it to Aldi; DD hasn't gone to Ju Jitsu

BUT

I HAVE SURVIVED MY FIRST NATIVITY.

Clothes from maiden taken upstairs. Came home to tea cooked (I love my slowcooker) and a demand for extra council tax. this has been met with a swift email pointing out that my children are students so I am entitled to single person discount.

For me, it would be after. Nice to be clean for Xmas and everything, but I'd only trash it again... New year might have less chaos to be able to keep on top of it for longer...

:rotfl::T

Edited a couple more toy drawers, one small bag for bin, bigger one for CS. Sorted dinner for 5. DD ate loads despite being fed at nursery. DS ate nothing despite having a swimming lesson first. But he was in a strop about something to do with a chair *shrugs*. I enjoyed mine, though even if DD did steal some of my bacon ( she had two, then pinched one of mine, so I only had one )

Anyway, we are cleaned up after eating, kids zonked, bags ready for morning. I'm having an early start.
