We had a lovely time at DGD2's birthday party, complete with balloons, presents, BBQ and cake. I achieved everything off my list for today except for watching Dragon's Den - DH decided to ring his sister just before it started, so we missed the first half and have decided to wait until tomorrow and then watch the whole programme on iPlayer.
Thank you to Bossy for last week's lists and to Natty for starting us off again this week. I shall be doing what I can, but my priorities for the week need to be resource boxes, reading and looking after DGD1+2 on Friday. For tomorrow, the bathroom is already clear and only needs an S&S, and the study-bedroom is still quite tidy. I managed to buy some inexpensive magazine files last week so can now re-home some awkward stacking letter trays
My list for Monday:
- check finances
- ensure that DH has cash to pay the window cleaner
- send some emails
- S&S bathroom and kitchen
- tidy my desk
- declutter letter trays and clear top of CoD
- empty all upstairs bins
- 10.30 help a friend's daughter with some algebra :eek:
- update 2 resource boxes
- 14.30 6-monthly dental check
- read another chapter of my book
- deadhead back garden
It doesn't look much, but the migraine is still grumbling on, so I'm being kind to myself.
LW, I hope you feel better soon.
Welcome back from your hols mrs-mp. Great that you could meet up with kazwookie, and I love the comment from your DS.
Honey Bear, keep up the good work in your loft :T
Happy new windows, Narc0.

Morning All
Lots to do today - washing if nothing else! The new WM is very quiet so that's a change. I may have a bath in a minute then clean the BR or I may just have a bath tonight instead. I'm going to deliver some birthday presents this afternoon so I need to wrap them first and buy a card. I also need to unpack.
Oh well, we'll see how the day goes.
Have a good day all
Hugs

Morning all,
We are back from our camping weekend. We had such a good time. A few showers on the Friday but we managed to get the tent up with just a few spots of rain! We are all shattered. Ds1 has just woken up and ds2 is still sleeping.
