    Morning everyone. Day 4 off of the paid stuff today and a day out so I'll see what I can do from the list before I go. I didn't think I'd done anything from the list yesterday but actually had. Also didn't get to relax last night, visitors arrived, oh and cake wasn't that great, think they were being polite eating it.

    Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Clean the sink, drainer and taps
    [STRIKE]Wipe the work surface you can see[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Hoover and mop the floor[/STRIKE]
    Sort out and wipe out the fridge
    Clean the WM filters and drawer
    Wipe over the hob and oven door
    Clean some shoes
    HHI
    Deal with a hotspot


    Right, food, hoover downstairs, gym, bath, walk dogs, do something from today's list.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    DD1 and I went to see "Cats" last night, I thought it was bl00dy brilliant, DD1 was less impressed, she was disappointed there was no talking in between the singing :cool:
    I'm going to be out most of the day I think. Got to take DD1 to work, then back to pick DD2 up from my parents and take her to work experience. Then I'm off to the o2 shop, I turned my phone off for the show and now the thing won't turn on!! :eek: I put it on charge over night but the charging light didn't even come on :( Luckily I have it insured.
    Depending how long that takes depends on whether I go to WW but either way I then have to pick DD1's boyfriend up, then DD1 as she's on half day then we're shopping for worms for DD1's chameleon and cat litter. Then I can't remember what's happening :o Some time after that I might fit in some housework.

    Morning all

    DS3 away; WM1 on DW on, kitchen side wiped.

    Off for a shower and then an hour's flying, a trip to Mr L and hopefully a bit of paperwork before the paid stuff.

    Good morning all :wave:

    I have tidied the study bedroom this morning and sorted all ongoing work into boxes so that I can concentrate the mind on one bit at a time.
    Finances checked and money moved.
    Email thankyou sent to the lovely, slightly eccentric garden lady (it takes one to know one) and "It was nice to see you!" reply received within a minute :)
    Now on my second cuppa :) and printing off photos for greetings cards.
    Must ring the hairdresser and ask if she could trim just round the back of my mop this morning on my way to SW - every gram counts!
    Lovely weather again today and I *will* get out and do some work in the garden.

    Skinty, has your DS got any swimming goggles to protect your eyes from the pollen while you strim?

    Morning all :)

    MrsMP - ((hugs)) :(

    No flying happened yesterday after I last posted except another load of washing. :o I did just over half an hour on the wii then went for a bath, went out to work, then DD came home insisting on showing me various loom band things, back out to work (which was a pointless trip :(), chippy tea, then spent the evening doing loom bands with DD :o I'm starting to really dislike them as I keep finding them all over the place!

    Any ways today is errands day. I have to go to the bank and I'm going on the bus (not walking as they're all a distance away and its my business cash so quite a bit!) so I'm going to try and hit a few shopping areas today, touching base at home to drop anything off and top up my drink between places. DD doesn't have choir tonight so I've already told her I'm trusting her to come home and get while I finish the shopping nearby on the only route which shouldn't have school kids packing the bus :rotfl: Her sunburn is still hurting her because of the way her uniform sits so I doubt she'll want to meet me, she'll want to be home and in her pjs with more cream on.

    All bills paid, £200 lighter :( Now time to get stuff together and get out. I knew 9.30am was a more realistic target than 8.30am like originally planned :o:rotfl::rotfl:
