    I'm here Piggers but not done much yet, I am showered and dressed, half filled the washing machine, awaiting the rest of DS1's clothes from cricket.

    It is not raining atm so I'm going to try to get the beans planted first thing. 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.

    I was up Pigpen just pottering doing jobs until DD went out with ex ;)

    I don't know what came over me, but at 11pm last night I was on my hands and knees cleaning the kitchen floor! At least its done now :rotfl:

    Dailies:
    Dishes: Su
    S&S kitchen : Su
    Surveys etc MTWThFSaSu
    Evening meal Su Sunday = roast? (depends on oven use)

    Bank Holiday Monday - Light list :D:D
    Tuesday - Living Room, Hall & Stairs :D:D
    Wednesday - Bathroom and Landing :D:D

    Thursday - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Extras
    HHI

    Friday - Bedrooms
    Level 1

    replace bedding

    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. :D 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:

    Good morning :D (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 5 :)

    I have emptied the DW and I ran the washer (towels) and drier earlier (E7) - glad I did as it's rainy.

    I am having a :coffee: then planning to iron

    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 :D

    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 voucher :( still 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)

    Tuesday - Living Room, Hall & Stairs]
    HHI

    Wednesday - Bathroom and Landing
    Thursday - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Friday - Bedrooms
    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.
    Have a good Sunday everyone.

    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.

    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.;)

    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!
