Good morning all. Just had to pop in and :wave: to Skinty: sorry to hear about your DR woes. Well done with the shed revamp.
Dancemum, I have shed envy too.
Pigpen, I hope the rat goes very soon, one way or the other.
Valli, I'm sure your pupils' thank-you gifts were well deserved. Enjoy your holiday!
Mrs-mp, glad to hear that m-i-l is making good progress.
More (((hugs))) to Mum-to-5 and DD and more posivibes to Ginge.
LW, how did the kitchen fitters' visit go?
JTTOU, enjoy your new outfits :T
Thanks for all the Flylady compliments re the slimmer me.

DH had a great day on the railway yesterday and came home happy I managed to do some more paperwork, but it was s l o w....

Today's tasks:
- empty kitchen compost bin
- water the pot plants and tomatoes
- finish editing Unit 4
- wrap and post books
- mow the lawn
- filing and tidying in the study bedroom
- finish introductory leaders' notes and lists of materials for Units 1 2 3 4
- quick spray of clay tea light holders made by the Old Wives, just to give them a bit of sparkle (not on the candles)
- start a box for the Old Wives crafts

Doesn't sound like I'm doing much flying, but the kitchen and bathroom are clean and the downstairs rooms are quite tidy, and it makes more sense to me to do everything in one fell swoop once the DGSs have come (on Monday) and gone (on Wednesday). However, checking my diary, we have 2 days away at the end of next week, so proper flying will recommence from 4th August That week will be manic, as I still have to touch up paintwork and do other awkward little jobs before my brother and houseproud SiL come to visit :eek:

Back to the compost and paperwork for now!

(((Hugs))), spoons and sticks all round. Hope everyone has a good day x

Morning all.

Hugs, vibes, spoons, sticks and suncream to all

Only got washing done yesterday, then I got sidetracked sorting out files on my computer instead of scanning stuff. I know I have some of the papers already on the computer but I can't find them as all my documents were messed up. I managed to sort out my NVQ & OU work from 2008-2010 which I had about 4 copies of EVERY file, and thats not including the back ups of some work so 8 copies of those! I also managed to sort out some year specific files which were almost empty, now I'm working through photos which I've downloaded from my phone, again there are multiple copies of the same pictures so I'm deleting duplicates I still have 26GB/13,500+ files to go through and I bet at least half of those are duplicates :eek:

Today is a work day, collecting books in so not much flying will be done. I do need to book a Mr A delivery, we need cordial as we're almost out and lots of chiller/frozen stuff. We'd not be able to carry it home in this heat and a taxi with tip will cost about the same as the £4 delivery slot tomorrow so I might as well!

WM x2 already done, dry washing dealt with. Now going to go and get washed/dressed and go see how may people have put their books out already. DD is coming with me When we get back she can do a batch of dishes while I sort books, declutter a programme from the dvr then we'll go out again to see about more books This afternoon the ironing, shopping & some more file sorting needs to be done. Might order DD's school shoes as well while I know I have the money. DD can drag all her school work down and sort through it as the recycling wheelie bin is almost empty and it gets emptied on Monday. Back out to work this evening to hopefully collect the last of the books, and then not much else will get done as we'll conserve energy for tackling the cleaning tomorrow.

Best move myself and nag DD to get done :wave:

It looks like the demon has gone.. the cats are all settled and sleeping.. lazy furry fleabags! ... oooh.. I need to deflea, I forgot about that on Monday.. I'll get OH to assist later.

Cast off the first section of the blanket.. I want to get it all done this morning if possible so I can wash and block overnight and start my next project tonight

off to empty a paddling pool so the lawn can dry before the weekend

Had a bad day yesterday so will need to play catch up. I spent 6 hours clearing and sorting the bedroom on Saturday so thankfully a lot of this has been done. Other stuff (the beds) is part of my Sunday routine. I've reduce the list to what needs doing as it looks a bit better to deal with.

Updated at 19:11 Thursday
I haven't felt up to doing much today but I have deleted at least 1000 duplicate documents/pictures from my hard drive. I have also sprinkled salt on the cracks in the patio like someone suggested so hopefully at the weekend I might be able to get that area cleared x fingers.

I need to find a OS glass cleaner as the horrible green one I found in the cupboard is not so much of a cleaner as a streaker - just seems really really greasy and it needs something to cut the grease. Also, I can't stand the smell it gives me an headache.

3 lots of washing on the line. The line that is mysteriously lashed to the post with STRING.

On the garden - scattering of golf balls and, round by the rabbit hutch, a golf club. One doesn't need Poirot to work out who did what to what.

DS is in Tideswell.

Hi all - well I have returned from shopping - and banking - only half done - and am having an early lunch.

The shopping has been put away and the washing is out on the airer in the garden and I am hoping there is no seagull doo on it when I bring it in:eek: -in about half an hour if the shirts are anything to go by!!!!

Mr T collection is ready to be picked up but will wait for DH to come home in the car as it is very hot now!!!

Just looking back on what else I have to do and will crack on in a while - Double HHC at 1 pm anyone?

ETA Picked up a Mirror as the 5 off 45 voucher for Mr AL*i is in - other papers have L#dl ones too
