    Morning all :D

    Jazee - finger is feeling better today and if I could stop knocking it it'd probably be even better :rotfl:

    I was painting my window until 10pm gone last night! I can't paint past 5pm when I do it at Christmas so it feels weird to be chasing DD to bed while I'm still working on it :rotfl: The England shield is now all outlined, I just need to touch the outlines up, erase the marker & neaten the lines up. I can see it through my blinds as the sun shines through the window and it looks fab already :D

    DD is still in bed, but she's had 2 late nights on the run and appears to have hit the teen-sleeps-forever stage ;) As long as she's up there I can get on with the window in peace.

    Uniforms aren't washed, there are no clean towels for DD to use when she has a bath, her bed needs stripping, she needs packed lunch supplies (I forgot to book a Mr A delivery for today :o) so she can go the shop or bake and I'll sort an order for tomorrow later while waiting for paint to dry, tea tonight is supposed to be a roast, but I'm thinking a salad might be a better idea as there is loads of it in the fridge, unless DD wants to have a go at making a roast ;) Ironing needs to be done (DD has asked if she can do that) and there are still unwashed dishes DD didn't do as she got engrossed in Bond films then Ghost Adventures. So looks like DD has got a busy housework day ahead of her as I don't want to hear the words "I'm bored". I've only had 5 hours sleep max, and I'm likely to flip my lid if she says that when there's so much to do. :o

    Off to move the TV and touch up this window before I move on to the next part of it ;) :wave:

    DD2 refusing to go to band practice :cool: I can't force her to go.
    Need to go to @sda this morning, out of cat biscuit so need that before they start thinking they can eat me! :eek: Also other bits to get.
    DD2 and her friend (who slept over again) will be disappearing after I give her bus money and then I'll get on with the garden again :(
    Must load DW and WM as well

    DW emptied
    Wm x 1 on line (DS's work outfit - he put it in the wash as soon as he got home - WTG DS!)
    WM x 2 (my bedding, mainly), swishing now
    Front lawn mowed (thank you NDN - he does them both together!)

    Morning,

    Good to see the flylady bus has been getting some action! :T
    Lovely picky pigpen very cute hair.

    My shelf is back up on the wall :T I'm not putting anything on it though, I want the no more nails in the screw holes to set solid before I load it up.

    I am going to take the opportunity to edit the tat that landed on the floor, though. I still also have a cabinet full of DH tools that I don't even know what half of them do. Gave FIL a soldering iron so that's a start.

    So I'm sat here in the RoD - will finish my cuppa but then I think the first job is to vac up my drill droppings, then grab a bin bag. Wish me luck!

    Second load in WM one lot outside, says it might rain but sky is bright and blue so far...

    Morning all

    Beautiful morning so WM1 of 3 on.

    Busy week ahead so need to meal plan, shop (or online order), sort out my other's birthday present - no idea, - well I do but it may be over budget.

    I want to finish the filing and paperwork sorting, get the front grass cut, cut the hedge, DH to do a dump run.

    DS2 will be revising all day and DS1 has a hangover (only happens about once a year) but he will need to recover to help this afternoon! Cutting the hedge outside his window should help :p

    Best hit the shower and make a start.

    Bossy - thanks for the nudge, I did a few exercises and planted out a few more plants but have now but on .5lb - putting it down to my hormones :mad:

    Clean & dry dishes away, a few back in the to wash pile (DD is improving ;)), wash load sorted into 3 due to weight, 1 in, TD emptied & pairing socks will commence soon, sofa throws put back and spider which was sat on it evicted, customer just called for their order as they were going past, window tidied up/touched up and I'm waiting on the paint to dry. Shouldn't take long though as the glass is hot.

    Going to have a coffee and sort this dry load of washing out then I might start adding some colour to the window. DD is in a foul mood and wants to go back to bed so today is going to prove interesting! Right, moving myself. :wave:

    Shopping done, back garden roughly strimmed. Need to wait til it dries out a bit before raking up.
    Going to have a drink and some lunch, catch up on some tv, then start on the kitchen again :cool:

    I'm making inroads in the garage. Flung a bin bag full of tat and stacked jigsaws in boxes. The heavier stuff from the shelf is now in a crate underneath the spare DR chair. I now have a basket specifically for CS stuff which has an unworn pair of DD pumps in. They were a bit wide and all of a sudden they are now too short!

    I've had enough in here for a while so I'm going to do some ironing :(

    Kiddies will be home soon...
