    I've tried to PM you Dusty, but your Inbox is full.

    Hugs, Deco.

    Frodders, from the moment the project was announced I've been itching to see it; I'm particularly keen to be there are sunset for the Roll of Honour. They've been filming all of them and the evening Kenneth Robinson's name was read out is now on the website. Very moving.

    Challenge Update: the dressing gown has stalled again because when patterns say 5/8ths of an inch they really mean it and my carelessness means the collar and collar facing don't fit. My fault entirely - just being 1/8th of an inch out on each seam means the shortfall is somewhere between an inch and two inches - oh whoops - so I'll be unpicking again today. If my sewing skills were so well developed I could have just run this up without needing to learn new skills, it wouldn't have been a Challenge, but boy oh boy am I learning the hard way! I'm also going to have to tackle 'tension' because all my stay-stitching puckered and that's not helping matters.
    Better is good enough.

    Morning all.

    Dusty & Deco *hugs*
    SAHMW I used to iron my DD's bibs as well for the same reason.

    WM & TD been on again here, livingroom tidied up, nearly all my programmes decluttered from the DVR as I'd seen those episodes before, broken diningchair flung. As soon as this washload has finished I'll go and do the dailies upstairs and clean the bathroom.

    I want to decorate my window for Halloween this year, so I'm going to spend a bit of time doing that this afternoon. I figure since its got to be done during daylight hours I can fly in the evenings. DD is completely engrossed in the Twilight books when she's not eating or doing homework so she won't mind me not spending time with her!

    Personal:
    Dishes / beds / bathroom / laundry load
    Work: write up text order, deal with orders.
    Move money/pay bills
    Surveys
    Set up money file
    Update accounts

    Monday - Little bit of everything to start the week
    Got 30 minutes....
    S&S toilets and sinks
    Hoover and mop the floors
    Extras....
    Empty all the bins


    Tuesday - Kitchen
    Only got 15 minutes....

    Clear and wipe the surfaces
    Got 30 minutes....
    Give the sink a good clean, descale drainer and taps, sloosh out your plug hole
    An hour to spare....
    Wipe over the hob and oven door
    Clean a window

    Well thats the WM finished so I'm off to juggle laundry and get on for a HHC then I'm going to do some of my window work :D

    Thinking of you both Dusty and Decko.

    I've been out food shopping this morning so nothing done yet. It's a bit cart and horse at the moment - clear the kitchen first and then put things away or the other way round. Fall over bags or double handle everything?

    Morning all.

    Uploaded the web pages as soon as I got up this morning, and then found that several needed "adjusting" :mad: but I have done the best I can in the time left before I went out.

    Have decluttered another half pound and 2½ hours at SW, then got my hair cut.

    In what's left of today I hope to finish my display boards (which will involve taking a few photos first) and, if time, pop into town for a new flash drive and some trainers or other soft shoes for winter. My knee is still playing up today, so I'm not going trekking round the shops.

    Nothing much needs doing off the list today except maybe clean a window or two if I can summon up some enthusiasm! The display boards take priority.

    Hope everyone enjoys some sunshine between the showers x
  • Thanks all for the hugs and support. My appointment is after the paid stuff tonight, I'm going to try not to appear as a neurotic, crazy lady, but feeling a bit emotional about it, hopefully there will be no waterworks later.


    Cats feed this morning and litter tray cleaned. Even managed to sweep the floor of menace kitten's litter art.


    Plans for tonight:


    Ring previous car insurer to cancel premium and get them to send out NCD.
    Book train tickets x 2
