    Morning all. I'm in again this week, thanks for the list. Not sure that I'll get any flying done today though, about to start the paid stuff.

    Thanks Natty :D

    I'm going to try and be in this week. I have work all day Wed, probably most of Thurs as well so that means a trip to the bank on Friday. DD is going away for the weekend on Fri, only to stay with ex but she won't be back until Sun so I will have a chance to get stuck into a frog...I'm thinking all the digital photos. If I can get the ones I've already sorted off the laptop then it should make it easier for me to see what still needs to be done. ;) Of course all the paperwork scans need to be sorted as well and thats the bit I'm dreading. :o

    So today, as well as the list, I need to :
    - clear the ironing pile
    - finish the last sewing job (Securing buttons on a coat belonging to DD),
    - clean up DDs custom shoes (they've been drying for a few days so it should be safe for me to attack them now ;) )
    - After lunch get surveys etc done. There's not much in the way of paid work for me to do until Wednesday when my delivery arrives ;)

    This week:
    Mon: DD at choir, prep cookery
    Tue: DD Cookery, Pay CT
    Wed: Delivery, DD to get main packing done (no time the rest of the week between homework & work), Text cook
    Thur: Books & deliveries Thur Evening, school delivery morning
    Fri: Bank, errands; DD going away (5pmish)
    Weekend: |DD away until Sun.

    Dishes MTWThFSaSu
    S&S kitchen MTWThFSaSu

    I'll make a start by washing dishes at 9am and then carry on with jobs. I was going to bake some cakes, but I've just spotted how much the ironing pile has grown so I think I'll make that a priority. :o

    Off to do a few bits online then I'm off to the kitchen :wave:

    After a long absences I am back. Things haven't been good and the house has suffered.

    TD on, other washing on the airer. Can't put the WM on again until DD2 has done her side of the bedroom. There's more clothing on the floor than in the drawers! :eek: And I can tell as the drawers are all hanging open too :mad:
    Once I have fed the neighbours cats (7 of them) I will make a start on the kitchen. They're on their honeymoon. I only have to do the breakfast feed her mum does the evening feed.

    Thanks Natty. I'm in. We got back from France about midnight and the house is like a midden. Managed to clean the fridge before shopping delivery. Why have I never thought of arranging a delivery after holidays before? We have a free SmartPass so I didn't feel guilty about cost. No rushing to the shops for food. Joy.


    1st load of washing on. I'm unpacked. Sort of. Great that it is the kitchen today as I can't cook in there at the moment. It's yucky. Thank goodness I remembered to empty the bin before we left.


    Haven't been keeping up much so I hope everyone is surviving. I collected a few spoons on holiday so if any one is in need help yourself.

    Thanks to Natty and Dusty :A for the lists and hello :hello: to everyone else.

    I've had a quick tidy round and S&S of bathrooms this morning, hoovered the LR floor and sorted the washing for 3 x WM shuffle. Stew is in the SC and the DW is on. DD and I are out at our ex-vicars institution at her new parish (travelling on a coach) so need to have early/staggered teas and be organised.

    QHI (I'm starting the week with an empty basket so only what is dry today)..
    Clean windows and sills

    The oven, hob and fridge were done last week and the filters the week before so my list is greatly reduced :p

    Must get on with some paid work first though, then house paperwork and filing, need to go to bank at some point this week, plus bottle bank and must go to GG before picking DS2 up today.
