Thanks for the new thread Bossy.
DH did the bathroom this morning whilst I filled in a job application. Other than that I've been decluttering my bedside drawers and book shelf.
I've felt a bit light headed today. I had to get up early to take DS2 to work. I don't think I'm ill, probably not had enough to eat. I took DH to the airport to get the fast bus into London. He has an interview at 6pm, I have to collect him at 8.30. So that's 3 trips to the airport in one day. 6am, 3.30 and 8.30. No wonder I'm going through petrol at an alarming rate!
I've booked a local restaurant for our anniversary on Wednesday. Really looking forward to it.0 -

me too!
Still not done 'em Lynne but TY.
We have *almost* moved out of our old classroom; cleaning going on apace in the one we're moving in to; bag of household soda taken in today; we now have paint pots/water pots etc (various scummy plastic items) which look like new. Second bag of soda bought for impressed colleague (only 69p in Savers!) who, having seen it in action, wants some. Ipad not charged (been busy!).

Done 'em now. LOL. It was all correct and I don't actually have to do anything. But at least I now KNOW. And I can safely file everything.
And another Frog munched. Window man has been contacted - parents are loaning me the cash as almost all my units are misted up; and a couple of frames and the back door have damage.Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016

Good to see you back Wendy witch!
My mum and dad came around for lunch and nanny decided that ds1 should be washing up now (he's 6), so she gave him a little lesson and then she encouraged him to dust! She thinks that it's all solved and he will do these all the time! As much as I wish that was the case, I'm pretty sure it's a novelty and it won't be long before he's not so keen to do it!
Not done a lot else tonight apart from coaching until after 8pm and making/eating dinner!
See you in the morning!Grocery challenge-

Oops valli I've put your tax credits on tomorrow's list
that'll teach me to read the last page before I paste it in
Maybe it will remind someone else who is flying by the seat of their pants :rotfl:
Not a lot done tonight except clean up after a lovely dinner. Listened to kiddies reading before bed and had extra cuddles. Decluttered a natter with MIL who promised she won't buy any more coats for the kids
We're taking them swimming tomorrow to one of those places with wave pool and slide :TBossymoo
Away with the fairies :beer:0 -
I'm back this week, not a lot got done last week and it shows:(. Thanks bossy for the lists and natty for last week's.
OH cleaned the bathroom today which was good of him so all I have done is WM, TD and DW. We are both on school holidays so OH has walked the dog too.
It is our wedding anniversary today and OH suggested a takeaway from a fairly local Chinese which we used to go to and not been for a while. They used to do a meal for 2 for £12.50 but seem to have gone up market and it is now £20 per person:eek: We got some Chinese stuff from sainsbugs instead.
Ooh does that mean I am ahead if I have already done the tax credits:rotfl: With OH being on supply we over estimated how much he would earn by quite a lot and have had quite a lot of money back. I am too scared to spend it in case it is a mistake. Also OH will earn more this year and I am worried we will have to repay some. For the moment it is sitting in the savings account just in case.saving for ds2's summer international scout camp - £200
