    Piggers how did OH get on with his interviewy thing?


    Total waste of his and their time.. they again have 'nothing' suitable for him work or education wise.


    I think I may have to just demand he does something.. the hard part at the moment being I still cannot manage school runs.. I am trying and can manage 1 a day.. I am hoping to get it to 2 school runs by summer hols.. It is only about 15 minutes walk each way but it kills me. so long as he is able to help Thursday and Friday I should be ok with the others helping.


    I managed to get the bed stripped and remade today :) I LOVE LOVE LOVE fresh bedding!


    I have also removed a bunch of cretins who were having a negative impact on my life.. it's far too short for that!

    Morning everyone, again I didn't get a huge amount done yesterday as was feeling carp for most of the day but did manage to clean WM and DW as well as some of the leftover list. My updated list for today:

    Monday - Hall, Stairs, Landing and study/Family Room or similar
    Decluttering
    Delete some emails, favourites, blurry photos you choose


    Tuesday - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Basic Flying

    Clear and wipe table
    Wipe the work tops, remove all things which don't belong here
    Clean the sink, drainer and taps
    Decluttering
    Sort out a hotspot
    Charge that epilady or warm your wax, it's time to declutter your winter fur. Alternatively trim and paint your trotters.


    Wednesday - Bathroom and airing cupboard
    Basic Flying

    Clean toilet, sink, shower/bath
    Hoover and wash bathroom floor
    Clean mirrors
    Wipe any dusty surfaces/window ledges
    Deep Cleaning
    Give the tiles a good wash and shine
    Hoover out inside your airing cupboard and wipe anything that is dusty
    Clean your grouting
    Deal with any mould

    Decluttering
    Is that pile still on your landing?
    Sort out the airing cupboard rehoming anything you had forgotten was in there
    Declutter one of your 'products' onto your body/face/hands as appropriate and have HH me time
    Another HH on paperwork, lots of people don't have council tax or water bills to pay this month (usually 10/12 payments). Can you save any of this extra cash, pay off a bill etc.


    Hope everyone has a good day x

    Good morning ladies,

    Weather much the same as Dusty. I wanted to walk the kids to school but DH is taking them in the car.

    I'm working today and then taking DD2 swimming. DS3 has a cross country event after school, DH is taking him.

    I dealt with a niggling frog yesterday. I thought I would feel better about it but I don't.

    DS1 is making tsunami. He's caused a damaging row between me and DH. It's nearly a year since DS1 was asked to leave college. He's making no effort to do anything and I've reached the end of my patience. DH doesn't see the back chat, apathy, insolence and passive aggression that I get and takes his side.

    Todays drama is going to involve yelling at DD2 over her college punctuality.. not her attendance she has 100% attendance she is just annoying everyone by being persistently late... so the college whiners are whining.


    bedding out on the line and OH at the gym.. peace reigns!!


    I shall have a second cuppa... in peace while Dot has a meltdown because I won't put teletubbies on.. :)
