    Evening all.

    I have been flying for DS2 and DDiL2 today:
    - cleaned bathroom thoroughly
    - stripped 2 beds and re-made one
    - WMx3
    - cleaned kitchen thoroughly
    - hoovered downstairs
    - took DGS3 to park
    - did some shopping at local Mr S's
    - cuddled DGS4, changed nappies and babygros as necessary
    - lots of WUDUPA

    I've had a lovely time! Back home now after an easy journey. Everyone was doing a careful 60 mph down the M42 around Birmingham :)

    Choir practice next so DH will have to manage on his own again for the evening. Must dash........ see you all later x

    I have been without internet since Sunday morning.
    As I had left my mobile at work Friday mother's day was quiet...

    Nice to be back!

    I've done a few bits tonight after getting home from beavers (DS was beaver of the week for good behaviour, and so we get to look after a beaver teddy for the week :))
    I've hung some washing up to dry, put some dry stuff away.
    Finished tidying dinner things away, degibbled kitchen.
    Carried stuff upstairs which didn't belong downstairs.
    Emptied my CS basket into a bag for collection tomorrow.
    Snaffled an apple.
    Started my shopping list
    Binned grotty flowers, washed vase, tidied mantle piece

    Must put DD ballet stuff in car in case we don't have time to come home in between. Friends coming after school so need to plan what's for tea...

    Evening all. I've had a no flying day as had hospital then was spoiled rotten by DS and his fiancee. I feel really lucky to have both my DD and DS and their partners, all really lovely people.

    Hospital was good too, although I have a lifelong condition I'll be on tablets for the long term (but medical science always moves on) everything else about me it tip top apparently and the tablets keep the condition completely under control. Had some fudge to celebrate.

    I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow, the day (until late afternoon) is my own. Think I'll walk the dogs during the partial eclipse although with only 91% coverage that is likely to be an anticlimax. I have gardening to do and my nails to do, and the flying lists. Will make up my mind after a good nights sleep.

    Night all.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    I feel like all I gave done today. 4 loads and it is now on a clean cycle!

    Hubby didn't go out tonight so my plans of a night ironing and catching up on trash tv didn't happen but did quite a bit before he moaned at me to sit down.

    One thing that is really getting me down- a smelly shower! It Has been like it for six weeks! We have bought loads of Mr muscle concoctions. It goes for a couple of days and then comes back. We used cillit bang tonight (with a plastic stick thing) but I don't hold out much hope as I can still smell it now. I don't know what else we can do :(

    Anyway, moan over and this is my updated list...

    Twinkly Tuesday - Living room, hall, stairs and porch!
    Vacuum hall and stairs.. all the way up to the top!!!!!
    Wash any soft furnishings that need it

    Wiggly Wednesday- Master bedroom and landing!
    Quick one.. check those smoke alarms!
    Clear the floor drobe
    36 fling boogie!! .. GO
    Empty and wash out all the bins!!
    Wash windows.
    Sort through a hotspot
    Half hour... FILING... meanness I know

    Wash towels/flannels and replace with clean ones
    Scrub the bath, sinks, toilets, showers and tiles etc

    Tomorrow will be both boys rooms, which don't need a lot doing, and the bathroom, but mostly paid work, so might see if I can get up early again, and get a head start :)

    Morning all
    Hope the poorlies and the strressed start feeling some relief and improvement soon.
    Hugs good wishes posi vibes sticks and spoons to all who are in need.
    I haven't really been on list this week but feel I'm getting a lot done. The house is starting to look much better and feel clearer.
    I listened to the free audio version of the kon Marie book on decluttering yesterday via YouTube, it was really interesting, it's a bit fanciful in places saying you need to thank your possessions for what they do for you but a lot of it makes sense in that we have too much stuff and as a result don't see what we have so end up not enjoying any of it.
    Taking about it recently has finally got DHs to realise we have things we will never use and allowed him to let go of items.
    Hoping to sort the towel shelf today and do mils cleaning.
    It's DD2s birthday tomorrow not sure if Shes round then or Sunday as she got antenatal Saturday morning, need to think of a little something for her main pres will be cash.

    The meal last night was lovely, roast beef dinner or quorn fillet dinner for the veggies followed by chocolate cake and two motivational speakers to encourage the students to "dare to dream" and go for what they want to do in life.
