Evening all

Good day: done these

Dw, s&s bathroom, wm, iron and put away x 2
Back to basics and shine your sink!
Sweep or vac through your entrance hall, and as far through to the back door (if you have one!) as you have the energy for. Also did kitchen
Wipe your table - is that cloth clean? Replace with fresh table linen as needed, or even just a fresh tea towel.
Make a brew and enjoy the sunshine (fingers crossed you all have some!)
Get the de-webbers out and follow where you've swept or vacced. Better still, do this first and vac up the remnants! Also did kitchen
Collect any towels that need washing and get them in the WM then out on the line.
Find 3 items that can be GOT RID OF
Make another brew. That's an order!

Kondo crazy got rid of 25 things from mine and OH's wardrobe.
Took kids swimming until very wrinkled.
Visited MIL
Put another coat of paint on stairs although still needs yet another. Phew!

Back to work tomorrow boo hiss.

Oh dear missymoo, my little moo can be a bit like that sometimes. It must be a moo trait

List updated for tomorrow. I did heaps today but all outdoors. We've cleared the shed out, although I've had to put some stuff back it's much clearer and only a 10min job to empty. And seeds, we've set some more seeds off inc some lettuces for me.

I decluttered 3lb at SW and got a shiny sticker for being slimmer of the week and came home with half a dozen bits of fruit for my bowl.

I've got bags, lunches and uniforms ready, and emptied and reloaded DW with a few bits. I've not completed my own first list, lol, but do as I say and not as I do :rotfl:

I'll try catch up tomorrow albeit I'm in work later therefore out later. Kiddies have a disco after school so much juggling of arrangements has been done that they can both go. But they'll have to go in uniform.

That's it from me, over and out!

I breezed through Monday's Flying, and am actually looking forward to Tuesdays. #weird

Lovely family day today. Went to go for our usual run/ bike ride. Ds1 fell off his bike again! The helmet taking the brunt of the crash but has a nice scrape/ bruise on his cheekbone and just above his eye. Thank goodness he was wearing a helmet! He didn't want to get back on so OH brought the kids home in the car and I ran the 6 miles home. When he had his bath tonight I couldn't believe how many scrapes and bruises were on his body. He is so accident prone and luckily (wrong choice of word) he is always falling over at school so they know that is normal for him! We will have social services contacting us at this rate!!

After that we went to the farm and then went out for lunch with some family. When we got back we caught up on reading and homework and sorted out some boxes of cr*p that I brought in from the garage. All of which had been in the garage for years! Most of it was wires and leads. No idea what they were for so binned most of it. So 3 boxes sorted and hardly easy thing kept!
Also did a load of washing, some ironing, and finished the list apart from that bl**dy bathroom!

Work tomorrow but will at least look at the list!

Narco - glad you had such a fab holiday. Love the look of the houses !

Very peaceful but certainly minimalist - I look round my clutter in helpless despair!

Managed to water greenhouse this morning before we took the motorbike up to visit friends in Suffolk. Back in time to cook dinner, do a bit of my course - I'm now several days behind as the advertised wi-fi on holiday wasn't too good, so I didn't get any done.
I've checked and had replies from most of my students booked for this week; 3 tomorrow. Will manage zumba first, but have to get up early owing to having a flat tyre :mad: so will need to drop it off to tyre place before gym.

I suspect the rest of the week will be a lot of catchup. I've got uni every day although not always more than 2 hrs, have course to catch up on, job tender to finish and send off by 11th and there are worryingly about 15+ 'red flagged' emails in my task list.

Paper work depleted. Stuff bagged to take back to work, manky file thrown contents now in a nicer one *fling*
This leaving stuff because I cba then feeling daunted is not good!
DS has caused upset by asking mum for a lift to the station to catch a train that gets in a hour before his exam. Upshot is he is now booked on an earlier train so a waste of a ticket -cheaper to book earlier train than pay a tenner to amend booking!
Anyway I made leek and potato soup for tea which was eaten without complaint. It's stressville here with revision etc
Know what you mean about palaver -
Shame all babies aren't born with advantages -
Ah well

Dropped DH off at the railway this morning (after cleaning the downstairs loo and hanging out the first load of washing, but with no time to start the second load, let alone third) and went clothes shopping, then straight to vol job. 720+ people came through the house today, with perhaps another 2000 enjoying the gardens and woodland trails - long queues everywhere, but everyone seemed to take it in their stride, and there were lots of happy families

Went to buy ice creams and popcorn for this evening's film show, then to pick up DH, and found a text message to say that my friend is back in hospital, so tomorrow I have to go and collect some of her belongings from the nursing home before I go and visit her. Finally got home at 7.30, so no further flying possible.

Only four of us made it to the film show - Best Exotic Marigold Hotel - but we all enjoyed our sweet treats and had a good laugh (and, to be honest, an occasional sob).

I shan't get much done tomorrow, either, with both me and DH at SW all morning and out at different meetings in the evening, and it's going to rain until Thursday so I shall probably need to get a man to scythe the lawn...

Hope you have space for a bit of "me" time now that your visitor has gone, Kazw: you seem to have been running at full pelt for months.
Will you be doing HHI of your kids tomorrow, Biscuit monster?
MMM, you are either a superhero at multitasking or your clock works differently to mine and gives you more hours in your day!

Goodnight all
