    Happy Birthday Bossy.

    Dogs walked, upstairs hoovered. Gone off list somewhat, so better crack on with hoovering downstairs.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    I'm in this week. Probs won't be able to update every day, but we will see how it goes!

    Today is work (14 hours of it - currently 4 hours in!), going to be so tired tonight I won't want to do anything.

    Tuesday I am shopping with my bestie who is over from Oz, will fly before I meet her.

    Wednesday I will be flying!

    Thursday is hospital, so depends what time they let me out.

    Bossy Happy Birthday, have a good day xx

    Bed stripped and re made
    WM on 1st load is on line
    Kitchen cleaned
    Floor washed
    Whole house is hoovered
    Toilets bleached
    At wrk!

    To do:-
    Whole house dusting
    Bins
    Weeding
    Grass cutting
    Car cleaning inside and outside
    Ironing, when washing is dry
    Might consider food / meal plan and then shop or just eat up what is around from the stores but then it would mean replacing the stores.

    Check the banks / pay bills/ check pay is in / do money shuffle

    Phone HMRC, they have taken my unifom allowance away from me, I want it back as nothing has changed.................Like Martin says to need to keep a regular eye on these thing!! to the phone I go, I may be a long time to them............

    I had in the same dilemma until I realised I had food in four different places in the house. One of this year's goals is to get the (in my case obviously overstocked) food stores down to a volume that will fit in the kitchen, and that involves meal planning on my part.

    Final load is twirling in the WM, two loads scavanged in and forecast checked. I may have to use the tumbler to finish the lightweight bigger stuff off.
    Better is good enough.

    Morning flyladies :wave: And wishing bossymoo and very happy birthday :) x

    I'm having my first proper day off in almost three weeks :T House is quiet, DSS is here but still snoring in bed, he is the laziest sod I have ever met, he can easily sleep for 15 hours at a time!

    Dropped DS2 at school this morning and went straight to the retail park, I had a picture frame to return as I've managed to find an identical one to replace the smashed one at my client's house :) Spent an hour mooching around Home$ense, found a new mug to replace my favourite which cracked last week and got some over door hooks for the girls room in an attempt to keep as much carp off the floor as possible. Not much of a haul but it was so nice just to stroll around and enjoy the peace.

    I have a small ironing pile and I need to shuffle some washing.

    To the list!

    Good morning all.

    happy birthday bossymoo X

    I looked at list this morning and thought it won't take too long but then it's the whole of downstairs so has taken a while. I have got all kiddies ready for school, dd1 went to school, dh took dd3 (still on steroids so not going to school) with him to the train station to drop off ds1. I took dd2 and ds2 to school and the had breakfast and a cup of tea.
    started on the list and so far have done half hour tidy, wiped all worktops, emptied and reloaded dw, loaded wm with first load, hoovered kitchen hall and stairs. Stopped for a cup of tea as dh back and I need to empty hoover filter.
    will dose dd3 up, empty hoover, hoover room, dust and mop... then need to sort through all the papers I have picked up off the floor and do some more of our bedroom.
