Sweep and mop floor

Hello all. Still in the mad cycle of split nights- today was spent in bed a last night was spent sitting on the sofa until 4am. I'm working tonight so hopefully normal service will be resumed by Friday morning.
I've emptied the DW and restacked it. I have some washing to fold and loads to put away in my bedroom. DH will need to hoover later as lounge floor appears to be very grubby for some unknown reason. It was fine yesterday and hoovered the day before!
Right, time to read back, get tea in oven and get ready for work whilst trying to fit in todays list !

Dramas with DSD continue, her mother is now threatening to pull her out of school. As DH points out, she has attended two nurseries, two infant school, one junior school and she's currently on her second senior school. At some point her mum needs to acknowledge that the problem lies with DSD and not the schools. SIGH.

This rings a bell with me. DD is in year 7 and has now started her usual whinging about being bullied and not having any friends so she wants to go to a different school.
We have pointed out to her tha she does this at every school she goes to, at least annually even when there are no problems and that perhaps she should examine her own behaviour as she is the common factor.
She hates it when we say that but if she doen't ever figure out how to moderate her behaviour, then problems will follow her throughout her life and it's much harder to change as an adult.


Right, HHC anyone? Then shower time!

Pulled pork cooked and eaten. DH is clearing away whilst I stick ds2 in the bath.

Dancegran visited

Dustykitten

Washing mainly dry or on the maiden
DW emptied
DS1 has fed our grass
I've done 3 hours in the neighbours garden, all wheelie bins full and out for collection.

DS3 and I have had dinner, others are sorting out their own when hungry
DS1's bed stripped - he is to remake
DS2&3 both doing school work

I need to go into the loft to get something I sold for DS2 on ebay and find some packaging. Tomorrow should not be nearly as busy as the last 2 days, I may even fly before my mid morning meeting.

FWIW Piggers I thinks it's a lovely idea, too

Just wondering if anyone has any tips for getting (veg) oil stains out of clothes? We use veg oil at work and it ends up everywhere. The (poorly chosen) yellow tops then get stained and I haven't been able to get it out. Any tips welcome :-)

Just decluttering gel nails will put a treatment coat on later.

Tidied 2 little hotspots earlier, but dishes from supper still need sorting. DS had 3 chicken wraps and a crumpet :eek: little piggy he'd eaten at school club too.

Right, will finish nails then head into the kitchen.

I am sure I read something about using chalk for grease stains although I cant remember the details

I would like to re-join please I have been a right lazy lump, my house has gone to pot and I have re-gained several lost lbs!!!

My day didn't go as planned.

I managed my flying frenzy of 20 mins and went to work. DS1 didn't respond to my texts so I went home to find him sitting holding an X-ray form and a prescription with half a dozen items on it. A quick trip to the chemist and hospital put pay to my long overdue catch up with one of my good friends, and a large dent in my bank balance. It appears he is allergic to Coco. I need a stair gate to stop her going up to the top floor where his bedroom is. His bed is low and she has jumped on it several times. I must state that she is not allowed on sofas and beds but she is exuberant it's hard to stop her jumping up.

Is that the time! Sorry for waffling - bedtime calls.

Goodnight
