    Paid stuff finished unless you count the couple of emails I need to send. Hurrah! All done until 1st June :T

    Kiddies having some snacks then we are going to clear the conservatory floor which is completely littered with toys. They've been warned we are not playing until it's sorted:)

    DS was in a hungry grump hence snack first. My new bedding arrived so that's been put on, want to find a scatter cushion as there is a matching cover, plus I want to put a wash on.

    Feel so much better about paid stuff but wonder if it's time for a rethink...

    Chalet flying not completed. *curses* I'll go back tomorrow and do a bit more but I have a feeling it'll take more than that to bring it up to sparkling standard which I'd like it to be because I skimped on it a bit last year.

    Flyladies I heard a wonderful story this morning about a national treasure but it involves a very, very rude word that some people might find offensive. Still, it made me roar with laughter and I'd love to share it. Would anybody mind?
    Better is good enough.

    I chose the box room as my room of doom, and it is looking much more orderly now. Didn't sweep but am planning to do all the floors in one go later in the weeks.

    I have varnished floorboards all through my flat. They are a devil for dust and hair and I don't clean them nearly as often as I should. Moving every thing out of the way is such a pain - especially all the cable in the TV corner.

    Enjoying looking out of my very clean living room windows thanks to yesterday's prompt. I felt very proud when I spotted them on my way home from work today!
    Trying to take control of my home and belongings!

    - continue writing up assessment Will do later after visit from friends
    - [STRIKE]ring a man back following assessment enquiry[/STRIKE]Made a definite booking
    - [STRIKE]if weather permits, continue working down huge list of garden tasks[/STRIKE]Pruned winter honeysuckle outside front door - could hardly get through it so postman will be pleased he doesn't have to drown when it's wet. Pulled out loads of bluebells and some weeds. Hoed broad beans. Checked/watered greenhouse.
    - [STRIKE]go to Body Attack[/STRIKE]Got talked into doing a half hour Step class afterwards as well. I haven't done Step for years.
    - start on whatever room is room of the day Watch this space. Or not.
    - probably lots of other stuff but can't remember!

    I've got an interview for the job I'd tendered for.....the same day I'd booked an assessment for!! Luckily one is morning and the other afternoon.
    Also received confirmation of the 20 hrs tuition I've been asked to do - work suddenly seems to have picked up drastically.

    HB come on I'm not easily shocked by rude words!
