    2 x WM first load is almost dry, the second load is towels I need to get them out.

    We have just been to the local beach with the kids it is beautiful weather here.

    I had a brilliant time last night at the pics, DS1 woke up earlier then normal and was hysterical, they were trying to pick him up/bring him down stairs but he was just crying. I told them to turn on the light in my bedroom, close the bathroom door and leave him. Less then 5 minutes later they text me back saying he was fast asleep again so not to leave the film (there was only 20mins left when they first text) when we arrived home about 30 mins later everyone was fast asleep so we went to bed too!

    I need to pop the chicken in for tea :)

    Thanks Valli, useful link which I've sent to DD for her interview. No doubt she'll tell me she already knows what it is, but it's the first time it's come up for her.

    I am so glad I am not looking for a new job, some interviews last all day....I've hardly got the stamina for normal paid stuff for a whole day!

    Just had a lovely walk with the dogs, sitting down for 5 mins before hoovering commences.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    I'm finding it very very hard to motivate myself to do the stuff I need to do for work.

  • I don't know how, but I have lost a week :eek:

    Got some things sorted, financial co-operation from the ex as I just cannot sustain the level of outgoings I have without getting myself into much deeper trouble over the next 12 months. so I now have a wardrobe for DD1 and DD2 to sling their stuff in when they come for flying visits (without having to disrupt the young Skints), but the Silly Swedish Shop didn't pack the hinges so I can't get the door hung this week.:(

    Had a good day with washing 8 loads washed, pegged out and thoroughly dried today, no need for even a quick tumble. I have another 3 loads done and backed up ready to peg out in the morning once the humidity levels are around 70% (I have been checking my weather forecast so I don't have to waste £££ on the tumble :money:)

    Today, I have done cooker hood including the filters and the hob and oven, including all the doors, knobs and shelving - actually managed to get the shelving perfect.....first time ever......slung the shelving in DW on 70 deg for an hour, then once over brillo pad, then back in DW for another hour, perfectly gleaming :j

    Been in loft and retrieved DS white vests and babygros for DD4, finished bagging up DS and DD4 old clothes, ready for a helping hand to go back in the loft.

    Kitchen Floor hoovered but not mopped - I will crack out the mop tomorrow, but far too tired tonight.

    I am hoping to have the Nice NDN in for a cuppa tomorrow evening to catch up on recent developments, and the kitchen cupboards REALLY need a good clean, so I will aim to be back on list like a good flylady and banish the BD to a kennel outside.

    See you on the new list :wave:
    The cold never bothered me anyway

    Morning all

    DS3 away to school
    DS2 still not feeling well so in bed

    Just waiting for DH to finish in the shower then I'll hop in. I want to get to Mr L and get the washing on before the paid stuff today.

    See you on the other side.
