Hoping cricket gets cancalled as I don't want to do the teas, mean I know but have a real busy week ahead and could do with the time to catch up here tbh.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -

I'm off to play in the kitchen for a bit. DD said she wanted to make cheesecake for pudding today, but she didn't want to make it this morning, so I'm doing it instead.Off to make the base up and then get some subs started. I had 3 bags of bread flour delivered yesterday so I have no excuse
While thats rising I'll do some ironing. DD was supposed to do hers but she hasn't so I've said she can owe me another (and much worse;)) chore as I'll clear it today while she is out as I want it gone. Not sure what I'll get her to do though yet...;)
Off to melt some butter :wave:Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0 -
Good morning
(just!)
Epic fail this week (again!) I seem to be shattered after working all day, then writing up diaries in the evening.
Today I need to do:
sweep & mop kitchen floor
pop to my Mum's to check all is ok with her
Paperwork, paperwork & more paperwork!
Study (I was determined not to get behind again - and I am)
DH has got dinner on, and has popped to @ldi for some supplies. We know what we are having for dinner for the next 2 days, and what the children are having Monday & Tuesday - so that's a start.
I am going to HHPaperwork. Anyone care to join me? Starting in 50 -
I have emptied the DW and I ran the washer (towels) and drier earlier (E7) - glad I did as it's rainy.

I was up too, we've been to get some groceries in. Kiddies were very helpful so I let them choose some sweets. They do 3 for £1, and amazingly they decided to choose one each then pick one that they both like! They never thought I might like the third bag though
Shopping is (nearly) all away and I have everything I need for this weeks meal plan. I did forget to buy the Mail though, and we wanted the Lego voucherstill I think its on all week.
Just sat in conservatory now having a :coffee: then I will take the bits upstairs that need to go up.
DS has tidied up his trains so they could play "tennis" in the conservatory and DD put away all her craft bits.
WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY CHILDREN :rotfl:
We are having a chicken dinner today. Oh, and DD decided she did want carrots after all, but we've got sugar snap peas to try too.
Oh heck, the pencil drawer has just tipped everywhere. Wait! The children are picking them all up! Together! !!!!!!???

Well that half hour went quick! I have managed to print some photos, and update some next steps for a new 2 yr old that I look after. Unfortunately, my printer has decided to stop, so I can't print them - Grrr!
I am going to make a cuppa, and maybe start on the kitchen floor (it is a very long kitchen)0 -

HHI or mending
If the sun shines try to do a 15 minute outside job
Tuesday - Living Room, Hall & Stairs]

Managed to clear rest of list apart from Mount Ironmore, going to tackle that soon, honest. Also, the sun won't shine and there is nothing needs doing apart from lawn mowing so that will probably have to wait.

DH has helped me in the garden so compost darlek is emptied, 3 big bags to use and three barrow loads spread in the front. First wigwam of beans planted. Second still needs digging yet. Did a bit of cutting back and moved some leeks for flowering. Wish I could have another hour out there but cricket is on so it will need to wait until probably Thursday.
Need to get changed and off to the cricket club next.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
I opened the curtains in the spare room today to see ambulance car, doctor's car and full-sized ambulance blocking up all of our end of the close.
Took Jasper for his walk (30 minutes) and they were still there when we got back. We'd planned to nip to Mr T for some supplies, and were blocked into our drive, (there was room for me to get the mobility buggy out, but not enough room for the car), so Mr LW went to find out, tactfully, what was happening - transpires the lady a few doors up has died.:(
We didn't know her and her DH well at all, but still, it's sad.If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -
Hola flyladies :hello:
Flurry of activity here, I've:
Stripped, washed and hung up our bedding
Remade the bed
Scrubbed the bathroom within an inch of its life, the soap dish on the shower rail was minging
Mopped the bathroom floor and wiped down all the woodwork
Stripped the airer and put up the ironing board…
I'm leaving to collect the boys at 3 and hope to have cleared the ironing by then. Fat chance, but a girl can try!0
