    Evening all.

    Just spent 3 hours glueing gems onto DD's shoes. Her step-mum made her some awesome custom Dr Wh0 ones but DD is so hard on shoes a lot of the decorative stuff had come off while they were in Ireland. I think I've fixed it all now but going to leave them for a good 24 hours to ensure the specialist glue is properly dry ;) Next mini-project is to tackle all the sewing repairs I've been putting off. :o

    I cleaned the bathroom today, so hopefully I can play catch up tomorrow when I get back from the dentists. I was going to run errands but the weather forecast is awful. :(

    This week:
    Wed: Dentist, Bank?
    Thur: Work (Order)
    Weekend: Ex Sun instead of Sat

    [STRIKE]Test smoke alarms -[/STRIKE] I need to buy new ones, but I keep forgetting! Will have to make a list to put them and several other 'house' items on. :o

    Toilet will have cleaner thrown down in tomorrow before I go to the dentists, that was I can ensure no-one will be using it for at least an hour ;) Last time I tried overnight DD needed to use it in the middle of the night :o

    Right, my phone is almost charged, so I'm going to tidy up what I can and hope I can get up at 6am-ish again tomorrow so I can get some bits done first thing as I can't even remember why I have the dentists tomorrow except to collect a shield for my teeth & get them cleaned. :o :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!

    So not too bad on the flying front. Have also managed to keep the kitchen up to scratch every day (so far) this week.


    I spent nearly three hours outside and now most of boxes, tubs and pots on the balcony are filled with a mix ready for some seeds. Ran out of compost so hope to get some and finish it tomorrow - fingers xd for the weather :D

    Well I did OK Monday - few loads of washing, cleaned kitchen, descaled kettle, hoovered through downstairs. Yesterday I had a long day at work and then had 2 hours studying to do in thr evening so no flying apart from keeping on top of the kitchen. Need to shower and leave for work soon but will flick the duster around downstairs before I go and whip the hoover if I have time (ongoing battle with doghair!!)

    Keep smiling everyone :)

    morning all
    hope everyone is well
    LW and pigpen supporting vibes for you both as well as anyone else who needs them
    bossy we arent supposed to apply sunscreen and the children cant share bottles, obviously if a little one comes out at lunch with blobs and streaks we will guide them and supervise rubbing in on their arms and face. my main bugbear is the parents on non uniform days who send the little ones in skimpy spaghetti strap tops with exposed collarbones and bare shoulders.
    a beanie or floppy brimmed hat works better than a baseball cap as they give cover to the back of the neck -specially on short haired children

    pigpen it will get better. It has to, right? Hope pixie doesn't get too poorly with the pox X

    I've got a wash on and kids are away to breakfast club. I'm supposed to be working :o

    Better get on...

    ETA thanks mrs mp they both have p20 on arms, necks, ears and faces today (then it started raining lol) I also have a little tube for each in their bags (labelled!!!) in case they need to top up with hand washing etc. I need to get spare hats as we use them at home and everything disappears at school...

    There are health reports coming out now showing kids are deficient in Vit D as we have been encouraged to cover them in suncream so much of the time now.

    Yet another instance where, as a parent, you can't do right for doing wrong!

    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.

    Already wishing it was the weekend! Off to work. Hope Wednesday is good to you all :wave:
