    Maybe the old bag is making you tired dusty x

    We are just having dinner - chicken and chorizo paella! Very nice although I threw some habanero hot boy sauce on mine wow it's got a kick to it!

    School club all fine, even the rude member of staff spoke pleasantly today lol. And DD has returned with 2 bottles :T

    They are not open on Wednesdays through the summer though - so I need to plan around that. Granny is on hand to help and I'm sure I can swap Wednesday for Thu or Fri a couple of weeks at work. It's because the new building won't be ready, but they have to vacate the old one. They will be using the local church hall but it's not free on Wednesdays and the kitchen isn't enough to provide a proper lunch, so pack-ups are needed. Still, it's plenty of notice to sort something!

    I've only managed to do a wash today and pop out for some milk (missed the postman - typical!) but I'm finished at paid stuff until Monday :T

    Littlies need a bath soon. I will sort the evening duties after, as tomorrow we want to be out in the garden!

    I've spent a good while in the garden this afternoon. Minced the lawn, weeded all of one flower bed (which is a long one!) and trimmed the sharp spiky branches which have grown out of the root stock of the plum tree. I have all but got rid of the goji berry but the root stock is murder to remove :(. I'm going to get back out there shortly and keep at it. I've got cuttings all over the garden to be chopped to put into the green bags too!
    DH wants to pop to Clevedon tonight, not sure why but I may twist his arm for an ice cream :)

    Welcome Old Tractor! HH anything is a Half Hour, and the C stands for Challenge and the I stands for Ironing. It's all explained in the first post on the first page and there's a link in that post to Toot's wonderful welcome guide which explains all the ideas behind the Flylady thread too.

    Whizzing around with cleaning machines generally here, loading up the WM, taking down curtains, scrubbing marks on the carpet and generally behaving in a very un-Honey Bear like way. I wish wish wish I had thought of applying a microfibre cloth and a bit of scrubbing action on my hands and knees to carpet stains months, if not years, ago. Carpets starting to look quite perky where they've been quite scuzzy for some considerable time.
    Better is good enough.

    Oh I really shouldnt have sat down!! Big mistake.

    So - back from job number 1, an hour done on job number 2, doggie walked for an hour, everyone fed, DS2 dropped off to see some mates and the kitchen cleaned and tidied.

    Managed to get the sheets washed and out on the line this morning so I now need to go up and make our bed then tackle the rest of our bedroom. Then OH wants some help with doing a quote for a new customer.

    I am flagging now though, hence why sitting down was a bad idea! Gotta keep moving.

    So I took the nitty gritty up for bath time - figured it has been a few days since ive checked them. Rather glad I did :( DD this time. Bl00dy hell.

    Anyway, she has been done, and him too, for good measure, and I will do mine later. Could not find any eggies just a couple of walkers. I have combed and combed then dried her hair straightening it a bit. Will do it again after school run and if I find any more I'm getting the GHDs on her to fry the little blighters :rotfl:

    Apologies if I set you off itching again :(
