    Now both boys and OH are back at work it is time for me to come back to this thread. I have kept the house tidier than it has been in the pasy but need to get back to a routine.

    thanks bossy and natty for the lists

    I have one lot of washing on and just over an hour before I walk the dog so I am off to start on the kitchen

    I must ring the hospital as ds1 has two appointments in different departments on the same day at the same time. I am wondering if it is an admin error as it seems a bit of a coincidence. Too early to ring now...

    my boys went back to school last Thursday and valli I feel just like you - ugh!

    paid stuff number one started last Thursday too and No2 on Friday.

    'see you all later'
    saving for ds2's summer international scout camp - £200
    £60 deposit paid :j £100 paid:j £40 paid:j

    Morning all,

    Really well done FBO that's fab and congratulations on the new arrival to you all.

    We are still in / on bed. DD has a big tray with her new Frozen lego set - she loves the Elsa tower and has little lego figures for the two sisters and the snowman, she's making them all chatter away to each other :D

    DS is playing driving simulators on the kindle and I'm trying not to watch the news :(

    WM is going with kids bedding, I'll get those out on the line but it supposed to be chilly, yesterday's washing had to go in the airing cupboard over night...

    As well as kitchen, DD room needs a good tidy. Will see if she will let a few things go. Then we need to get the uniform boxes down and re-organise wardrobes :eek: we have training days today and tomorrow but hopefully going out for the day tomorrow.

    Wishing you all a productive day xx
    Bossymoo

    Away with the fairies :beer:

    Morning flyers.
    Congrats auntie FBO, and hugs for all the little ones starting school this week.

    Dailies are done, and I've put the bins out and hoovered through the house. 30 minutes to work my way up the list before the paid stuff starts proper.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning all :D

    DD was up and ready to go by 7am :rotfl: I think she was worried she'd over sleep or something. It means that I've been up and about since 6.30am so I've already got quite a few jobs done :D The dog however is not impressed at the distinct lack of playmates today and is currently sat by the back door sulking.

    My list for today:
    Dailies: [STRIKE]Beds[/STRIKE], dishes, [STRIKE]laundry load[/STRIKE], S&S kitchen, S&S bathroom, dog walk
    Sewing: dog toys (Monkey, monkey, dog, duck), my bag
    Washing: [STRIKE]Towels[/STRIKE], mixed, throws, dog stuff, mats, cleaning cloths, clean cycle
    Timetable x 2 for walls
    HGP jobs
    Accounts
    Clean wheelie bins out
    Clean front of the house

    • [STRIKE]Breathe a sigh of relief when your little lovelies head off to school - Wed for us...[/STRIKE]
    • Meal plan - we're going to try a new veg each week for variety.
    • Catch up on any paperwork

    I'm going to find something to watch while I do these sewing repairs. Bonus of DD being at school, the dog shouldn't wreck his toys as quickly as we don't play tug of war with them quite as roughly as he does with DD :rotfl:

    :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
