Made some numeracy games and literacy games tonight with DS with some whoopsied sticky back plastic I got from Mr T about a year ago :eek:and DS went straight to my nicely organised cupboard and got 2 lidded tubs to put his games in, so they are nice and tidy in the LR.

Surprisingly after such a nice evening, DS has had 2 lots of night terrors tonight, and I cannot sneak away to do anything flyingwise, so now downstairs with DD1 having some R&R separately, but together IYSWIM.....with DS nestled into the crook of my back....oh well, taken advantage of :money: code to get money off v@x stuff, I don't care about beaten up boxes, but money off proper carpet cleaning liquids is always welcome, as I wasn't as impressed with the pink handbag shaking powder thing for the money.....

Right time for some surfing before the sun comes up and DD4 with it :rotfl:

Daily stuff done
Same same here, just daily stuff and work, sorry to bore you all.

Jazee

Morning all. Had a bit of a lie in this morning as quite pleased with the flying I've already achieved this week. Just about to get myself moving and may do something from today's list. Has been raining here, so glad I got the grass cut yesterday.

So looking forward to the weekend, I have DH with me for the whole time.

Have a great day everyone.

Dustykitten

Ironing done, cushion covers all back on bar one which I need to sew the poppers bck on, doing that next.

Then shower, bathroom cleaning and hoovering.

Honey_Bear

Well done on the stuff out the door, Kaz. I rather like hearing about people who just get on with things, quietly and steadily. It gives me hope I'll be that organised one day, too.


Hi fmaybe :wave: You still lurking? I honestly believe that just doing one thing from the list as often as you can when you begin Flying put me on the right course - the next time that task came around, I realised how much easier it was the second time. It honestly is about slowly getting on top of it, one step at a time.


I have lurkers on my items! The bigger ones, which is what I thought would happen.

pigpen

2 ebay items ready to fling


Children banished to school.. 1 on a trip, sports day to be postponed due to adverse weather conditions.


cuppa and I shall feed the WM and get on with getting the front room sorted.. ooh.. best let Crackenstein out of his cage.. I'm keeping him in overnight for a few nights but he can wander during the day.. he doesn't go far.
