Wow I'm really impressed with how much people are getting done. It's very motivating, which is what I need, being at home all day it's all too easy to sit on the internet or read all day

I've cleaned the kitchen floor :T and taken the rabbits to the vets for their myxi vaccination. I've also packaged up and sent all my weekend ebay sales

When the kitchen floor has dried I'm going to tackle a couple of the tasks on the list

ps how do you put a line through the monday list jobs you've done?

Kayjay - you just need to click and highlight the text you want to strike through then hit the [strike]S[/strike] button above the box you type in, (that's supposed to look like a big S with a line through it)

alternatively put [ strike ] (but with no spaces) before the bit you want to strike through and [ /strike ] at the end (no spaces).

HI
Think my brain is stuck in neutral!! Saw a thread on ideas for kids packed lunches, someone had said she bought packs of mini cooked sausages, froze them in lots of 5 and defrosted as needed for lunch boxes. Great idea thinks me and spots them at tesco on offer this am!
On my way to the freezer with 16 bags full of sausages when it dawns on me that this week is the last week at school!!! and my kids are off for 7 weeks as they are knocking down part of the school and when they go back they will be in portacabins (teachers need the 1st week back to move things in to the portacabins)
Suppose little snack packs of sausages will be handy over the holls!!

Got the kitchen spruced up a bit, going to do some biscuits from a recipe I found on here, hope they aren't too nice cos they don't last 5 minutes in this house!

Well I have just spent 2 hours decluttering and deep cleaning.....me :rotfl::rotfl: I set the computer to defrag (after doing a disc clean up) and then I took the opportunity to wash some dishes and then bath, including doing a facepack & my eyebrows. Now I feel like I could take on the world....so I'm going to go and sort out some bits in the kitchen and put some washing on the maiden in our room as the weather can't make up it's mind today :rolleyes: Will clean the kitchen cabinets and floor after tea as I'm planning on making savoury mince and I know I'll end up making a mess :rotfl::rotfl: Right, this washing won't put itself out :wave:

Pollybear

Still haven't vacuumed! But I have cut the grass (AGAIN) and been to the post office and the chemist and defragged the computer.........and watched Neighbours All the washing is dry and put away too. Will vacuum tomorrow right through.

We had a small incident this afternoon. On the way up to school with DS2, he fell over onto his face. Bust his nose and a big bump on the head:o
Nose was bleeding like mad so i brought him home to clean him up, to his disgust, he wanted to go to school! his nose is now double size and starting to bruise, I think he will have 2 black eyes in the morning:o He's fine now but he goes hysterical when he bleeds and takes ages to calm him down.
DS 3 was then crying coz DS2 was.....

Afternoon. Nearly all done here for the day, just online bank accounts to check.
ALL OF YOU LISTEN UP there is an online dodgy email going round from Lloyds TSB I had 2 last week, deleted them and now they have the nerve to send a follow up saying we did not here from you!

Also ironing and the dreaded toiletries packing to do. Ironing with TV later I think and toiletries as soon as I've checked bank.

Had 2 kids reports - one is funny - I'll give you extracts later.

Nicki I usually do the same (without the eyebrows, youchy!!) when doing the bathroom clean up. Uses up the dregs at the same time of anything left over.

newmrslockwood ((hugs )) for your little DS2 awww bless him.

Dusty thanks for the warning. I also had an email last week but neither of us bank with them so knew it was dodgy.

galantvr4 - Those mini sausages aswell as ready cooked can usually get them in the party foods sections (aswell as Xmas ones) uncooked and they usually wotk out cheaper to cook yourself and freeze then defrost as needed. I have used the pre cooked before but only when they are on offer

LIST IS UP NOW I know it is very early but we're busy/out most of the evening and I know people like to have it early to look at. Have added Shirley's suggestion, if anyone has any others they find on the way or think of let me know and I will try to include them.

Well not done much in kitchen but much more productive elsewhere. We have a cupboardy thing without a door in the hall which had a shelf with my TD on and other than that was JUNK!!! Used to be computer area. Well DP got his bum in gear, has cleared it all out (took 2 hours) we've put the TD on the bottom and he's going to use the space left as work space/storage for his RC cars. Soooo that means no more on the bloomin tables and scattered over the house, well that is the theory anyway!
