YORKSHIRELASS

Hi all

Lynne I am very jealous of your holiday plans. I love all the organising and research that goes into planning a trip.

So after a nice afternoon yesterday I am struggling with motivation today. DS2 lost his earphones down the back of his chest of drawers so I pulled the drawers out a couple of inches and was horrified by the muck behind there. I am sure its not that long since his furniture was moved. This has now been dealt with but his room could really do with a declutter.

Oh and its a great afternoon for getting washing dry - and NDN has lit a bonfire. Sigh.

Off to keep plodding, gym class later, must try and summon some energy!

Paid stuff finished until Tuesday:)

Just got kiddies a snack and I'm going to look through their book bags. I need a shopping list for tomorrow for beavers, and a few extra bits for our weekend away. I buy food and it keeps getting eaten!!!

My office is looking very clear, I've got a bit more laundry done today and the kitchen is tidy.

LR is full of DD bits of paper. I'd usually make her collect them up but she's so tired - she's just lolling on the sofa and doesn't even want tv :eek: one more day of school...

Think I might do brunch for dinner, bacon and sausage and hash browns. And grilled tomatoes. Mmm.

Hope all are well
Hugs for everyone that needs one
Been busy decluttering most of the day.
Garage and drive have had a major cull, tip run this morning with a vehicle crammed full of stuff, got three bags feast for the clothes bank in a bit, four big bags for the CS tomorrow and the garden bins had a couple of buckets of leaves crammed into it after raking the lawn earlier. Also put the back garden to bed for the winter, all solar lights, gardens seats, table and swing seats dried off and stashed In the shed.
Tackling the dining table now as its still got stuff on from when I had a Christmas wrapping session over the weekend.

Evening - hope everyone is ok.

I'm not flying tonight as the Trav3l0dge hotel room I'm in seems fine!! Travel up here all went to plan and I think I'm ready for the first taught day of my course tomorrow :eek:

About to go and get some dinner - there's a T0by Carv3ry next door so it would be rude not to eat there

Back later ....................... xx

I am trying to imagine MrLW wearing a T-shirt with pink elephants :rotfl:

It's a polo shirt with this design on the back
http://www.beerables.net/delirium_tremens_mens_black_t-shirt.aspx
along with the words "voted the best beer in the world" and a little elephant logo an the front, next to the buttons, iyswim. It's honestly the only thing he possesses with any pink on it.:D

I decluttered a load of fur off Patch last night - at her request! She sat alternately looking up at my desk and then across at me, for several minutes - the only thing on my desk that's to do with her is her grooming kit, so I surmised she was asking to be brushed. 10 minutes with the Furminator, and she was happy.:D That dog really is too smart for her own good! :rotfl:

Hope you get a decent nights sleep tonight, being that tired is really awful.

With a bit of (invisible) motivation from you lot I pressed on this aft and got tidied, dusted and hoovered right through. Been to gym class, fed everyone and kitchen looks like a bomb has hit it so need to get that sorted.

I have gone completely off the list. I must wash this kitchen floor tomorrow though, its disgusting!

Hi all,

Had quite a good day today, day off the paid stuff. Took dog for a nice long walk, had lunch out at the local greasy spoon with OH, girls had their swimming lessons after school and I still managed to get quite a bit done of the list.

LW ,thanks for the tip re non messy dog chews. She does have those occasionally but tends to get fed up, I think she gets satisfaction from turning a stick into a million pieces! she once got a log from next to the fire and chewed it up on our bed! (bearing in mind she is not allowed on the bed). She was not popular that day!

pigpen sleepy vibes coming your way.

Biscuit monster- you seem to be plugging through that list!
When I got back from work this afternoon I decided to use my hour to crack on rather than catching up with the thread. Which I think was a good decision.

Monday's list has been done. Also hoovered upstairs and did some tidying up. Put a load of washing on, cleared the airers and done some washing up. Living room and kitchen are definately my priorities tomorrow!
