Evening all.

Nothing has stuck as I've read as I'm shattered so hugs, sticks, spoons, vibes to all

Updated my accounts this morning, minor panic when the phone DD hadn't gone out, checked my recent bill and I have this month as a "Payment holiday due to amount of credit and further DD amount is dropped" Then after baths we walked into town (3 miles-ish), renewed DD's bus pass (I budgeted £90 and it was just over £70 ), went to primarni and got school socks for DD and cozy sock for me Round to sp0rts Dir3ct to get a PE bag which will actually keep her kit dry! Jumped the bus to Dun3lm, showed DD some bits and pieces and came home with a hanging vacuum bag, 4 curtain rods, and lots of sticky hooks so I can put nets up Came home, back out to H0me Bargains for packed lunch goodies (She can bake at the weekend for next weeks ones ), had tea and then went back out to Mr A. And we still don't have a ruler for DD as they didn't have any left in Mr A! I said she can try the local shops tomorrow, but there is not a chance in hell that I'm letting her take my folding ruler with her as it'll end up broken!

I had high hopes for today, but haven't achieved much at all but I do have some C-word gift ideas for DD now as she pointed stuff out to me today

Tomorrow my priority is washing laundry (DD's responsibility to iron her uniform now ) and assembling bookcases so I can put the livingroom back together and get my work done as I still can't get in the cupboard where it's all stored!

Time for me to go to bed. I'll be back tomorrow to write a proper list when I can think straight :wave:

6 emails
2 phonecalls
Sort birthday cards for September
Check Minutes from June

I had gone cross-eyed by lunchtime and ended up sleeping for 3 hours this afternoon I was so sorry to miss the sunshine again and we didn't get out for our walk DH said I looked quite ill, but I feel OK again now. It's not because I'm not eating properly - I do eat well, and plenty of it!

... towels now in a super hot wash as DSD has suspected scabies _pale_ -- this is after ticks which required a hospital visit to remove, and headlice :mad: She's a haven for parasites.

Oh Dear - not very nice !! Suppose you know that you should all be treated as it is soo contagious if it's confirmed - and it can take up to six weeks to know if you have it ! Hope it's just a rash eh.

Hope it all goes well for you bossy - I have my fingers xd for you


Seemed strange today to start my holidays at home Been quite busy getting things organised and of course it all took double time because DH at home and kept 'helping' me :rotfl:

So today -
I had left all pack-up boxes and flasks soaking so gave them a wash, dry and put away.
Cleaned all the kitchen including cupboard fronts and all worktops, small appliances, micros, oven and hotplates.
Cleared out fridge and cleaned it.
Did freezer shuffle and froze lo soup and gravy.
Did last bit of washing, dried, folded and put away.
Dusted everywhere throughout.

Went to shops for some bits and pieces to take on holidays. It was mainly snacks for travelling but also battery for e-cig, new fleece for DH and some euros.



Did weeklies for car, checked tyres and went through car-shower.

Went to nursery to get bulbs for balcony but they don't have in what I want yet as only just getting stocks in, so will have to get after hols now

Printed off all paperwork for holidays, sorted out my stuff to take and general stuff such as passports, ehics, euro plugs etc and put in spare room next to case ready to pack tomorrow.

Sent DS a what's app message to confirm time of our arrival and then cleared out my emails and did scan on lap-top. Just notebook to do tomorrow ready to take.

Made dinner then WUDUPA so kitchen still tidy.

Hope you all have a terrific Tuesday and hugs/ positive vibes to all who need them
