    Away for work for a couple of days and relieved to be leaving the house looking reasonably tidy and knowing it is mostly clean.

    Need to pack... So need to hurry up and decide what I'm going to wear,

    Stay safe missbee xx

    Spent half the night coughing up my spleen.. I am so very sick of coughing.

    OH is at college all day so I get the utter delight of cleaning without him underfoot :) he is like a child in the respect that whenever I turn around I have him and at least 2 small girls up my derrière then they dawdle about in front of me then complain when I get frustrated and growl at them to move!

    Tomorrow I am spending cutting fabric and making gifts and tonight I have knitting to do
    I have 3 items to package and post .. Unless more sold overnight
    I think I have a baby monitor heading out today too £5 in my pocket!!
    I am expecting a form or 2 through to fill out so hopefully they will come today and I can get them in the post with the parcels too!

    And the ultimate job today.. I need to catch up on laundry

    Morning all.

    Thinking of you especially today, CY x
    Pigpen, they'll all want to sit in your loo for double the time now, with that lovely wallpaper!
    LW, I hope you're feeling a bit better today. If MrLW is anything like my DH, you will enjoy having him at home for most of the time, but be only too eager to encourage him to go out regularly for some "Me" time, to give you a break :rotfl:
    Biscuitmonster, I don't think I've ever seen a limit set for the Secret Santa. I should imagine that most people spend about £5, but it could be anything from £0 upwards - it's entirely up to you. The pleasure for the sender comes from giving a bit of time and thought to choosing or making something for a special friend, and for the recipient the real gift is the knowledge that someone cares enough to do something nice for them :xmassmile

    My list for today:
    - [STRIKE]feed my goddaughter's wedding cakes[/STRIKE]
    - prepare for Old Wives' meeting tonight
    - set up FB group
    - finish and email newsletter
    - deal with umpteen other emails
    - monthly financial check :eek:
    - try to make progress with organising Old Wives' programme for next term (I had wanted to get it done for this evening, but one speaker has not yet told me her preferred date :mad:)
    - write letter to go with cards
    - start writing cards
    - run Old Wives' meeting

    Proper flying will once again be limited to S&S of [STRIKE]kitchen and [/STRIKE]bathroom :p

    Catch up later. (((Hugs))) spoons and sticks all round x

    Morning all.

    I've been busy getting on with stuff this morning. All the dailies are done, and I'm about to crack on with the ironing while I wait for a parcel to turn up (it was meant to arrive yesterday with another one but the fella couldn't find it on the van. Tracking says its out for delivery again after spending the night in Wigan). I don't want to go painting my window just yet as its raining, gloomy, and the glass is cold so it'll be harder to do.

    This week:
    [STRIKE] - Update finances (remember work expenses, cheque for school, Christmas stuff already purchased) [/STRIKE]
    - Juggle budget (after bills paid on 1st) - Juggled. Just waiting on transactions to show online to make sure it's correct
    - Slice black pudding and freeze Half done!
    - Sort Christmas to buy lists properly
    - Read instructions for new boiler
    - Read instructions for CM alarm and put it up in right place
    - Buy curtain pole for kitchen & put up
    - Get DD packed Wednesday night, with list of what to pack Friday (she'll be too tired Thursday)
    - Collect DD Thursday evening
    - Nag DD re essay.
    - Get DD packed and ready to leave by 4.30pm on Friday (even if Ex isn't coming until 5pm, we'll no doubt need the buffer!)
    - Print bin collection dates & put on calender in diary
    - Errands Thursday (town, wilko, bm, hb, pah? bq)
    - Paint window (only during daylight hours so plenty of time to fly while its dark ;))
    - Keep on top of fly lists, minus extras unless required.
    - Put CDs onto Mp3
    - Ironing
    - Clean bathroom
    - Laundry (cloths, blanket if I can get the dog off it, quilt)
    - Deo the sofas
    - Vacuum downstairs

    Work:
    - Sort returns
    - Pay bill
    - Collect books from school/outstanding
    - Sort orders & put onto system
    - Submit order 9.45pm Tuesday
    - Check order info Friday

    Monday: Kosy Kitchen
    Level 3
    Clean a window
    Clean your oven

    Time to dig the iron out and find something to watch. :wave:
