Yesterdays washing ironed. Today I have just done a small load and EMPTIED THE WASH BASKET

It's not fit to peg out as yet and I have an errand to do.

DW emptied, a few pots washed because DD and her mate are baking today - mate is half-french and she is teaching DD to make macarons (with one 'o')

(when is half term?)

My DS2 breaks up Thursday 23 October and goes back Monday 3 November.

I would go on the list and hopefully be able to make it this time Sorry for the effort you put into arrangements to have them fall through Jazee. Hope you feel better soon.

Can we have a vote on your door colour Pigpen? I would say that you ought to go for a repeat of the same colour (my favourite colour is green) and you could still live in the Shakin' Stevens house . Very beautiful small people pics btw.

Yesterday I did most of the LR list but it wasn't bad in there so I wiped the paintwork in the hall and cleaned all the glass doors downstairs.

Today my desk/study are still spick and span but we are off out for the day, with a hospital appointment in the afternoon, so I will just give the bathroom a s&s before we head out (and whilst I am in there cleaning myself )

Have a good day everyone.

Thanks for the dates Lemonie, I have a sneaking suspicion that is already a particularly busy week at the paid stuff, so I'll check when I'm back tomorrow and try to plan a day.

So far today I have fed the dogs (LittleyDog not interested for second day in a row although seems fine in every other way - may need a trip to vet), and I've read the paper and done two Sudoku puzzles. Just having some toast to go with the tablet (!) and a cuppa. Must then think about actually getting dressed and walking the pooches between showers.

My friend and DS3 share Shaky's birthday.. 4th March.


Anyway.. it will be Black, dark blue.. not navy but dark, or burgundy/maroon ... I loathe green... it almost put me off buying the house!

Since last post, I have actually got dressed, had a dance around the bedroom and washed up. Now to walk the dogs. The weather is looking ok at the moment so think I might get out in the garden.

HHCx2 at 10.30 anyone? im going to finish the kitchen list

2childmum

It felt like yesterday was a bit of a disaster at first, but I did actually get some bits done. I decided the bedding on my bed needed doing more than DS, so that is all lovely and clean and a new set of bedding put on my bed (although I'm just sleeping under the duvet cover at the moment, so didn't need to battle with the duvet). I ran a couple of errands, made lasagne with DD, (very tasty it was too!) and emptied the bins, but it all stalled after that! Mind you, I did take DD to a fun event in the park, where she went to the youth group , and I got to make a very pretty flower shaped pin cushion, and had a manicure (free) so I came away feeling rather more relaxed!

And now it is 10.30 and some of you have done more work than I get done in a week and I'm still sat here in my PJs! I usually get up at the same time as DH but he is away so I overslept rather and have now potted about and done nothing!:(

Tips for motivation please, cos I'm falling further and further behind where I need to be re the house and can't get myself going to do anything about it:(
