    Morning

    I'm in again in my own way!

    Day off to day from job 1 but going to job 2 for at least 5 hours.

    I have a major list of little boring stuff to do today, but I am determined to get at least 90% of it crossed off today.

    Seems like it 'might' be a nice day here, the sky is clear!

    Major job, book MOT for car

    Thanks for all the lists ladies, and thanks to everyone one else, for just being here xxx

  • Im in. Thanks for last week Dusty

    Did a lot of today yesterday, so can get on with a few other bits and pieces. House looking reasonable - I did almost everything on the list last week. For the first time this year. Boy did it need it.

    :wave: to FBO - was beginning to wonder if you had got lost up north!

    Thanks to Natty for the new list and Dusty for last week's.

    Rejoice with me everyone :j:j:j:j I have finally eaten Frog No. 4 and dispatched him to my colleague P just before midnight last night! It took me absolutely ages because it required a lot of creative thinking, but I am very satisfied with the result. P is also very happy with what I did to the first three, so once DH and I get back from our week's holiday, P and I will meet up and move onto the next stage of the work, which should be a relative doddle and much more fun! ;)

    The house has suffered a bit over the past fortnight or so, as DH is *still* unpacking his toys in the garage. I don't quite know where he will find room to store everything: his shelves are sagging under the weight of his railway, and the drawers of his storage units are stuffed full of wargaming models. He has two large crates of stuff to sell, and we've already Freecycled the [STRIKE]tat[/STRIKE] treasures that he is happy to give away (not much :o). I fear that I shall have to find space in the utility for some of his stuff :mad: though it's better than having it in the guest room - we want to invite some friends to come and stay after Easter, but there's not much chance of that at the moment!

    Today I must do as much as possible off Natty's list (none of DH's stuff is upstairs :D).
    I must also
    - deal with another much smaller frog - I hope to catch it straight after breakfast while it is still young....
    - ensure that DH phones his former employer, HMRC and his sister
    - help DH sort out his outdoor jackets, then go with him to M€rry H€ll :eek: to buy a new one that fits properly *and* is long enough to keep him warm *and* is waterproof
    - go our local computer shop for advice and a new flash drive
    - remember that I have to collect J at 7.10 pm to take her to the Old Wives Group meeting
    - take my good-but-now-too-big :D clothes to the OWG and see if anyone wants anything before I CS them

    Here's wishing everyone a good day and a good start to the week! Hope you find your way back to us from the black hole, CY!

    Morning all and thanks for the thread Natty.

    CY good luck, I hope DS and the others are doing a fair share or a lesson in life will be missed.

    JJ welcome back for HT

    DS2 felt sick all night and I have stomach ache. Not a great start to HT and boys have dental check ups this morning. I'll go and check on DS2 in a minute and decide if I need to cancel his.

    DW on, WM to go on next. Plan is to get all the bedrooms tidied and cleaned this week. Downstairs is not too bad and can just have a quick hoover and dust later in the week.
