    Floors all done and sofa's hoovered too, washed up from dinner. I didn't realise it was so late.

    Just need to read a document and comment on it and then DH can swop my old slow and stroppy pc for hopefully a fast and happy one.

    I've been in our new school :T and its a bit "wow" - the kids will love it. Nursery is a big sunny room with its own outdoor classroom plus play ground, and the new climbing frame / slide is due this week. DS class have their own room rather than 2 classes crammed into 1, and there is a fab conservatory all along one side. After school club and cubs share the community hub right in the middle and next to nursery so very easy getting the little ones to wraparound care. It's all very high tech and bright. Really pleased!

    Picnic made for the littlies day trip tomorrow. While I work :( but still they will have a fab time. Not done much other than that and sort supper and get the kids to bed.

    Synchronised calendar with MIL around collecting kids when I'm at the hosp, so we are good to go.

    I'm WFH tomorrow but have the pleasure of telling boss man when I've been booked in for, and not to expect to see me the following week. So I'll be channelling "understanding and empathy" vibes, lol.

    Catch you all in the morning!

    I know the feeling. Luckily for me, DD's term starts on Friday *smug*

    Very lucky you! New school year starts Monday here, but as DD is going into year 9 she doesn't start until Wednesday. She's just starting to panic slightly as she still needs a 12" ruler (I swear I bought 10 last summer, she must have snapped them all :mad:), school socks (she's refusing the ones in Mr A as they're so thin or have animals on them so a trip to M@talan at some point) and her bus pass (which wouldn't be valid until Monday anyway!). I have no intentions of going anywhere near the shops until Monday when the weather is set to be nicer again and the bulk of kids will be back at school hopefully.

    Today has been rather lazy here :p I've fixed random corners of paper which have decided to lift :mad: DD spent the day either watching TV or on her laptop making l00m band things/playing games. I tided up the kitchen, got dressed and decided to read some of my book while I had lunch and 4 hours later I stopped reading! Trouble is the book is part of a series, the next book is in one of my 2 boxes of books, which are currently at the bottom of a pile of boxes in my room so I can't get on with the next one. On the plus side it does mean I have less to distract me :o

    So when I'd put my book away, I washed the decorating clothes as they were all stiff and scratchy, cleaned the kitchen while DD vaccumed through downstairs, scrubbed my kitchen sink clean, made tea and I've spent the evening watching Dr Wh0 episodes from 2005 with DD :D She was only 4 or 5 when they were broadcast so they're all new to her and she spent the evening shouting or squealing until I managed to chase her to bed at 10pm! As for me, I have a delivery due tomorrow morning so I have some admin to do and I still haven't done the online shopping I need to. :o Tomorrow I have to get stuff done online!

    Off to do this bit of admin and then I'm off to bed. 6am get up in theory! :eek: :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Morning all

    Ahh awake since 4am again. Been sitting downstairs with the mogs since 4:20 so they've been fed. I've nearly finished clearing and wiping the kitchen worktops, then I'll have a cuppa and do a few emails before hoping in the shower before DH, I need to leave for the GP at just after 7:30 but at least it will save me dreading going for the entire day.

    Morning Dusty and everyone else!

    I've been up a while myself which isn't good seeing as I had a late night last night. My plan is to finish my ironing off at 9 when Sea Patrol comes on but other than that see how the day pans out.

    I did sort the LR out yesterday and hoover it so some stuff done off the list. I also caught up with some paperwork although after last night's meeting I now have some more to do.

    Hope you go on alright at the doctors Dusty.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Hugs dusty hope you get the right outcomes today x

    We were up in the night too, and now just woke up. I've made a cuppa and now I'm back in my lovely office. I can hear the kiddies pestering granny upstairs, took her a cuppa too.

    So I'm starting paid stuff, catch up later.
