Minor panic about cc bill as thought they were taking too much out but I was remembering the previous one!! No hope is there!!

Have some me time - you deserve it

Need to add kitchen floor to list and HHI as didn't get done yesterday because of cooking teas earlier than usual.

DH usually does cooking as it is dangerous for me to burn myself and that makes me nervous. Think I might invest in some of those silicone gauntlets as had forgotten how much I enjoy it - and I have time now too.

Have a good day everyone. If the sun shines might also add HHE onto list at lunchtime.

Anyone else shocked at how much gas and electric they use? Hubby is sure we must use more than anyone else

It's funny you mentioned this; I text DH the meter readings yesterday and he submitted them online. Apparently we use much less than the average household of this size and our gas AND elec was only £300 for the previous 3 months! And we're only on Eon's standard tariff as our fixed deal ended in October and DH didn't change it :eek: Suffice it to say, I have shopped around and we are in the process of switching now, if the c00p ever get their act together.

Much calmer day in the offing today, thank goodness. Paid stuff for 2 hours, home to get stuck into flying, NO drive to Wales to collect DD as their Dad is taking DS1 to That London for the weekend so he's collecting him straight after school and he's dropping DD off then. Then we'll collect DS2 and head to the supermarket for weekend goodies.

Me: What do you fancy for dinner tonight?
DS2 (8yo): Smoked Salmon with honey and mustard dressing, and some crusty brown bread.

Makes a pleasant change from;
Me: What do you fancy for dinner tonight?
DSD (15yo): Nuggets.

Morning all

Nice to see the weather back to rain- not.

DW on
Washing up half done, will finish now
Another Governor document checked and sent back for revision

Off out at 10 but want to finish hoovering upstairs before I go and if possible a quick dust around.

See you all at lunchtime - be good!

Congratulations MummyR

Mumto5 - phone call he said went ok, he couldn't really tell and had not done one like that before. He will know on Monday if he is through to face to face interviews so I have everything crossed.

Hi thanks, I'm happy to help, it's not the actual school committee, if for after school club. So quarterly meetings and all they want me to do is email agenda to members and set meeting dates, the club manager will take minutes etc. I've told them I have no experience and they said not to worry its just to satisfy ofsted that they have enough members. We'll see how it goes.

No snow here, feels too warm although a lot of fog around

<goes off to check forecast>

WM on, might pop out to a pals for coffee, other than that I need to do a lot of picking up...

mrs-moneypenny

its always good to have a foot in the door on your terms. could lead to a little paid job in the school if you ever need it. and its brownie points for your little ones

Hello all . Weather here is meh . DD has a sleep on board with cadets this weekend. She's learning piping!
House is a bogging dump . I'm shattered as didn't sleep well last night. My legs and feet were so cold that every time I moved I woke myself up by touching the other leg/foot!
Nuff complaining...
Have told DS that he is cleaning the bathroom today after school. It's a bit minging and the toilet seat appears to be covered in his wee so he can do it!
Am out at a cube challenge day on Sunday for cubs. It's a district event and the kids loved it last year .
Am just going to look at the list and delete anything I think I may have done. I will then potter through the rest of the list as able. Think I may need a quick nap though *yawn!


ETA: Don't have an airing cupboard . MiL took all the charity stuff with her on Tuesday. She says she goes there all the time so can take it when he goes. Tools are STILL all over the living room floor!
Must hunt down a paint tray and roller handle as I have a sleeve so can crack on and paint the utility and downstairs loo in the next couple of weeks. The paint in the loo has bubbled for some reason?

Just had a shock. I rang police as we haven't heard Mr Boarded up neighbour for a while. They came and broke in and have told me he has passed away.
