Just looked at Tuesdays list and I did it all on Thursday so doesn't need doing!
So today I will work from my own list!
15 minutes
[STRIKE]Hoover and clean kitchen floor[/STRIKE]

30 minutes
Hoover and tidy the stairs
Declutter bedroom

An hour
Ironing
Declutter 10 things from the study!

At work 9-5 so that should be enough to be getting on with. Also out 6-9!

Ended up getting home at 5.30 and quickly getting the boys something for tea. Then out 6-11.30! Oops! Never mind! It's days like today that make me glad to be following this as the house isn't a complete tip anyway!

Oh well I feel grotty today!! Not sure what is up but my head is spinning.. I almost fell over twice when I first got up.. I've managed to get breakfast for the girls and a cuppa for me but I'm not sure my stomach can manage it.. I had to go stand outside for 5 minutes while my nausea settled a bit.. hopefully it is a blood sugar thing and my cuppa will sort it, though I usually get shaky when it's that though... anyway, I'm sure I'll live..

Mumto5 .. hope you've had some good news re Ginge xx


Finished my 4th ball of wool into the blanket and going to do the 4th and call it done.. it is 74cm diameter and meant to be 80cm but I'm just going to use the whole ball and see where I end up!


I may make a start on the front room today.. OH spent yesterday outside so he can watch the girls today and I'll strip wallpaper and boss him to paint ceilings!!

this is true, and to prove it when the children were younger my late fil, put a dot of paint on several shells of the snails he found with the children and lobbed them into the school playing field at the bottom of his garden, by the next weekend they were finding the same snails (with dotted shells again!)

im doing a LW and dog sitting today:eek: havent had a dog since i was a teen so that will be interesting.

went to see mil last night shes in till at least friday, so visiting scheduled for every night this week. got given a toilet seat contraption with handles last night to bring home and fit for her. so at least home is planned sometime soon. nipped round and brought coats in id washed and hung towels out and fetched more supplies for her. just need to pop round later and check post etc.

going to pack DS2 up now and get him ready for when DD2 calls round for him then they are theme park bound for the day.

hope everyone is well

Have flowers, more chocs and more cards. And loom (?) loon(?)bracelets especially made for me:A (If anyone knows what they are that would be useful to know as I shall be sending thank you cards

That would be loom DD is driving me mad with them :rotfl:

I remembered to check the end of term letter from school today on the website and its a good job I did. I thought DD went back on the 1st Sept, and she actually goes back the 3rd. Calender updated now.

I've tided up the livingroom mostly (just the laundry to sort out now), re-homed another spider which was crawling over DDs uniform, and decluttered a programme from the dvr while I caught up with some online stuff. Just realised I've not had breakfast so I'm going to grab that while I watch one more programme from last night then I'm going to get on with frog munching. Time to clear out bills!! :eek: :wave:
