Morning all . Just having breakfast. Woke up nice and early this morning- well, tossed and turned from before light and then decided to get up when I could see it was light- 6.08am. That'll do me.
Just having a bit of peace and quiet now before the kids get up. Sis is picking up nephew to go shopping at some point this am so it's me and mine this morning. Hopefully we can get the uniform shopping done and dusted .
I will get to the list later in the afternoon or evening.
Back to work tomorrow evening so need to make ure that kid have clothes ready for Friday and Friday night/Saturday as they are sleeping over at Nanny and Bumpy's.
We're all out for the day tomorrow- not sure where or what time but it should be nice. Just have to make sure we get back in time for work for me and Sea Cadets for DS.
Right, off I go to catch up on fred.

Morning all

Up early so have been frog munching, I can't quite finish it yet as I need to get some more info later but it has half gone and I feel better for that.

I am going to see an old friend about doing some gardening work for her this morning and then promised to visit my mother this afternoon so again flying will probably be left due to lack of GAUG later.

Dancemum, Valli and any other households awaiting AS/A2 results tomorrow sending all of you strength and calm to get through the next 36 hours, DS2 has been counting down since at least 37 days ago.

As nobody tidied up or washed up in the kitchen last night I guess I had better do that and feed the mogs.

Jazee

Morning all, hugs/spoons where needed.

Yesterday I went off list and did the bathroom so most of today's list is done.

Today at the paid stuff I will be seeing what other 'opportunities' are available as I found out yesterday that my role may be outsourced and I don't want to get caught out. (I'm not supposed to know.)

Have a great day everyone.

Ok, so I've walked the dogs, put rubbish, recycling and composting out, put washing on the line and dried stuff away. I've also hoovered and mopped through the house and polished up the mirror in the hallway and checked and hoovered the smoke alarms.

Paid stuff now. If there was ever a day when I can't be bothered, this is it.

Catch you all later flyladies.

Well I have made an interesting discovery! If I have a big job to do I usually try and do all the bits and pieces that need doing first before I tackle it, but usually find that I run out of time and the big job doesn't get done.
Yesterday I so needed to get the budgeting and other money stuff done I decided to do that first. Actually I set a timer, did it for 30 mins, pottered about for about 10 and then started again. And I got all the money stuff done and a load of bits too!!! So that is a better way to tackle it.

Today I need to take DS to the Building Society to sort out his savings accounts (nobody seems to know what is supposed to happen to trusts held for kids when they reach 16 - we keep being told different things - today I am going to sort it for sure!!!)

And I am going to take the list at the top of this thread and work through it - one thing from each day then back to the beginning again. And do the usual sort out washing and cook type stuff. And a bit of work with DD (we are in low key mode work wise at the moment, but gearing up to get going again in September)

Stressful day tomorrow - DH has a second interview for a new job and DS gets his maths AS result - mainly waiting for GCSE results next week, but school has this policy of entering kids for AS maths early, and as he wants to do Physics at uni and therefore needs maths, this could affect where he can apply and what he can do at sixth form.

Sending calm to others waiting for results too.

Much appreciated and I hope everyone has the results they need.

I have emptied the DW and pegged out washing. Off out on an errand then hoping to get soem garden time in later. I have been catching strawberry runners - 4 have rooted well so they've been detatched and moved. There would have been more but a little bunny rabbit keeps upending the pots.

Calming vibes for those around everyone awaiting results and Jazee, that outsourcing things sounds a bit drastic - coping vibes with the transition if needed.


I'm incredibly relieved I'm not the only person around here who's GUAG has vanished. I've been meaning to go looking for mine for weeks but I so-can't-be-arrised.
