    Morning flyladies :wave:

    Have chucked the two "big boys" out already, DH got a lie-in as his car is back in the garage to have the aircon fixed AGAIN, hope it's done this time, especially since they charged him £700 last week and it's still not working :mad:

    I have WUDUPA and tidied the kitchen. On DU, I iron my tea towels with my steam gen til they're roasting, then no steam until they're dry -- in my mind, that nukes all the lingering germs :o

    Off to the paid stuff; hope Tuesday is good to you all xx

    Morning all :D

    DD gone to school without the forms, apparently she'll see the teacher tomorrow and give them to him then. So I'm going to fill them out and photo copy the trip one just in case it gets mislaid ;)

    I've managed to jump in the bath this morning without disrupting DD's routine too much, but then I did let her watch TV this morning as she'd actually moved herself for a change so she was engrossed in Avengers :rotfl: So I've stripped my bed, and I have 3 (maybe 4) loads of washing to do now instead of just 1 or 2! I've also run henry around downstairs as DD had trodden mud in on her shoes again, it never leaves anything behind until it dries out and flakes off :( Mr A is set to deliver 9-10am so I'll potter for a bit I think. Just going to finish my coffee ;)

    Personal
    Belt loops - make & attach to school pants
    Ironing
    Finances
    Print calender out for rest of year
    HHE x 2 T Th F Sat Sun (won't have time Wed due to work)
    Exercise Challenge T W F Sat Sun (Thurs is rest day)
    Work Tues: (Returns, accounts, prep books, prep cards/change, deal with recharge :mad:)
    Print world cup stuff for doing my window display ;)
    Evening meal : Mediterranean veg, chicken, and lemon & coriander couscous, followed by ice-cream with treat if DD clears her plate ;)


    Monday - kitchen
    HHI

    Tuesday - Living room

    Only got 15 minutes

    Deal with any phone calls - Work
    Got an hour
    [STRIKE] Wax/polish any furniture in need[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE] Wipe the legs of any furniture[/STRIKE]
    Extras
    [STRIKE] Dust any flat surfaces[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE] Wipe finger marks off the walls[/STRIKE]
    Clean a window or two - leaving until the weekend ready for decorating the window for the world cup ;)

    I'll need to set my laptop going so I can get work stuff done, but I'll leave that until after the shopping is away. Knowing my luck I'd knock it off the table with one of the bags :o

    Off to switch the washer on :wave:

    Edited at 10.04 to cross stuff off rather than post again

    Waiting on Mr A to deliver before I get on with anything else. Infact that sounds like them pulling up outside now ;)

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    WM x1 now on maiden, 2nd in. I've now wash the towels first, put them on the maiden while I wash everything else, and when I put a load in the TD I stand the maiden in front of it, therefore the heat dries the towels a little so they don't take as long in the TD when I've dried everything else ;)

    Shopping away, but I need to email Mr A as an item was missing. I don't need it until Saturday so I'll just pick it up when I go later in the week ;) The website is playing up though so I'm going to put something on to watch while I do the ironing and my computer does its checks etc. ;) I'll email them after I've had lunch. Now where did I put the webbing stuff to make these belt loops....:wave:

    Not looking too bad now, going to make a start in the front hall. Think i'll move shoe rack to back hall as I'm hoping to put a nice unit where the shoe rack was. Then I plan on getting back hall done and will hoover main hall, too many halls.
