Morning Everyone.


Feeling happy as my laptop has now decided it wants to work again, so i am taking care to type gently so i don't break it again, and i might move some of the documents that are personal just in case it needs to go away. Don't want anyone to know what is on my own to-do list, or my daily routine etc.

High on my list today is carry on reading HP 5. Seems though i wasn't reading the new one, DH jumped in, and he was attached to it for hours last night, which is most unusual as he is normally too engrossed in the telly, or reads the sun. :rolleyes: Anyone looking through the window would think we are nutters.

Anyway, going to be working mainly in the kitchen with you lot, and here is what i would like to do:

Monday 23/07:
[STRIKE]Deal with post [/STRIKE]
Make bottles
[STRIKE]Post letter about theatre tickets recorded delivery[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Buy a loaf of bread[/STRIKE]
Clean kitchen sink
Wash tray
Clean microwave
Descale steriliser
Clean out WM drawer
Wipe round small appliances
Wipe outside of larger appliances
Clean window on inside and outside of back door
Clean plastic on the door
Wipe kitchen window sill
Wipe kitchen benches
Check airer for dry stuff, iron and put away
Make a tuna and sweetcorn lasagne for tea
phone up asda helpline about printing out our digital piccies have tried to phone and had to leave a message

will need to do the outside jobs early as more rain predicted, although i don't want to be in the post office for at least another hour as it is pensioner fantastic on a monday morning, and it takes forever as they all want to fuss over charlie.


anyway, hope the week treats you all well. lil-me you will probably have nothing to worry about but i fully understand where you are coming from. Hope you are feeling a lot stronger sooner.

Michelle, x

Morning

Kids are fighting already over what to watch on TV, I'll have to take the plug off if I want to get through the hols without serious incident;)

At least DS made his bed this am! DD bedding in washer, know its not on the list but it's covered in cat hair, just hope I can get it dried, doesn't look too promising out there.

Think I'll get the kids involved in vaccing/mopping the floors down here:rotfl: that should keep them occupied for a while!!

See you later

Morning all

One load of washing done, draped upstairs because it's pouring with rain. Again.

Kitchen done - all worktops wiped down with disinfectant and cupboards with Stardrops. Table cloth stardropped too. Vacuumed living room, hallway and kitchen and vacuumed up bits in freeze/fridge. Wiped out fridge too. I know I did because I found the cloth in there when I opened the door again It's nearly empty anyway - shopping is coming tomorrow.

Tidied up baking ingredients cupboard. I tend to shove stuff back in a hurry but it's organised now.

That's without the fridge & 7 cupboards, need to do some serious meal plans & get this used up. Just buying then throwing it in since we got back off hols which obviously isn't working, so now on spreadsheet to keep updating.

Just cancelled my meat order and Tesco order!!! Looking at that lot I definately do not need it yet. Will do fridge and cupboard in a mo, work out some meals and what I need to go with it. Got the oven to do, one part of the kitchen benches, window and sill to do then all done in there, dining table still clear from yesterday evening. Few dailies left inc sitting room floor which will get done when I do the kitchen. Been informed my BIL is looking after the boys tonight so I can go to a meeting with DP, looking forward to that like a hole in the head. He offers to babysit once in a blue moon and I get to go to a meeting about a car club, grr!

I will try to do some flying again this week. DH has continued putting loads of washing in the machine and we now have at least five loads waiting to be hung out. The house can't cope with that much wet washing hanging around. We have a break in the clouds so I will be out soon to try to get some dry before next lot of rain. Thanks for the advice about drying LPs lil_me, I don't know why I didn't think of looking on the internet. I will try putting them between towels as they are still very wet, its three days now since everytning got wet.

Todays list

Hang out washing
Dry out LPs
Clean out neighbours fridge freezer and washing machine and see if they still work!
Sort out menu plan for this week
Sort through pile of paperwork for anything that is urgent

This is going to be mine. I've fell off the wagon a little bit, as I'm job hunting as well so tend to do that when I get home. But I can do that in the evening, since its all on the internet.

I'll have to get myself organised as it is, as its likely I shall be working more hours than I do now.

Hi All

Well one thing that came from my weekend of grottiness I got to finish the new Harry Potter book. But it has left me feeling lazy. I finished it off this morning while the kids played and when I looked up from my book it looked like a bomb had exploded! But with a game of lets beat the timer me and the kids got all the stuff picked up and back in the correct storage boxs and the lounge hoovered before the bell rang. Kitchen had a basis S & S which now needs redoing after lunch.

I am off to have a black coffee (run out of milk) a shower and wash my hair. I have a driving lesson tonight and I need to pull myself back from the land of feeling poorly and rough.

I have also managed to get a prearranged appointment for DD with the doc she saw last week for Thursday (this is a minor miracle, its usually a ring on the day - even though the doctor has asked you to go back), must go write that on the calender.
