    Thanks, with only a few in each party bag I would assume the kids would eat them straight away anyway lol. Saves me eating them lol using celebrations and keeping Heros though as I love the creme egg ones lol.

    2 lots of washing done today including a bed and house looking tidier. Tomorrows jobs are sorting paper work needed for job centre and school stuff for Tuesday

    LW just remember that this bloke will probably be quite happy to get the boiler done and be on his way. Time is usually precious to these people and if you come across as being a bit unfriendly who cares? When our plumber was here I shut myself in the office and did some paperwork telling him just to give me a shout if he needed anything. I genuinely did have paperwork to do but no reason why you cant do the same. I suffer with anxiety so understand how it feels. Will be thinking of you.

    House is reasonably ship shape. We had some left over beef braised for tea and I made yorkshire puds instead of the usual ready done ones.

    MummyRoys I usually end up putting a tub of chocolates away for Easter because we all get far too many.

    DS2 has to finish reading Macbeth which was his English homework for the holidays. I am reading it with him because otherwise he wont take it in. We are doing it in roughly half hour stints so I need to drag him off the Playstation and have another go or we wont get it done for Tuesday!

    Good evening, It is hard to believe that tomorrow is Monday and I am back to work and uni, but oh well needs must.

    All clothes and bags are ready for school/nursery/childminder/uni/work. I am just going to update my list for the last time this week.

    Monday - a bit of everything!

    Tuesday - kitchen and dining room
    Back to the kitchen - pick a cupboard- empty it and wipe the shelves. Only put back what you need. Can anything be ditched?
    HHI


    Wednesday - Bathrooms & PC / Study area
    HHI


    Thursday - living room
    Ironing challenge! Hands up who's finished?


    Friday - Happy New Year! Join in only if the mood takes you!

    Well I have almost all of my list for this week. I will see you all on next weeks thread.

    Just nipping in for distraction. I'm 3/4 through the last report. Got into quite a state last night as I'd hoped to finish yesterday; ended up still working at 1.30am then couldn't sleep. Printer ran out of ink and I discovered that the 2 spares I'd bought with the printer were the wrong size. Subsequently slept late and sacrificed church for more writing, sorry. Had an enjoyable afternoon with friends watching Winter's Tale at the cinema "beamed in" as a recording from the Garrick theatre, very good. Dropped in at other friends for coffee on the way home, then MIL. Mr N kindly preparing something to eat having suggested I come and do more work. Was so worried about it on the way to the cinema I felt quite ill, silly really. My NY resolution will be to write up reports asap and not procrastinate and NEVER to let them build up like this, as I cannot predict when a time will be especially busy and it was dreadful falling behind.

    At least the house looks reasonable - if you don't look too closely.
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.

    Evening

    I've just about got all my pics onto the external hard drive. They need sorting, but I can do that another night. Now need to get them off the iPad as it's getting very upset at storage ;)

    Going to switch off the laptop. I think we are all set for tomorrow apart from my lunch - I will just get a jacket potato and beans I think. I promised myself I'd be in bed and media switched off by 10 tonight.

    Alarms all set, I just need to get some work clothes ready. Wonder if there will be any "off the record" news tomorrow. Probably not. Trying not to get anxious as there's beggar all I can do now.

    Anyway, might not be around much over the next couple of days with new routine / clubs etc so I'll probably catch up from Wednesday.

    Hope you all have a productive start to the week, and LW especially, hope tomorrow goes very smoothly and they are out of the house quickly xx

    My last wash load for today is in the machine...the penultimate load is in the dryer and DD hasn't long got out the shower :mad: I wanted to be in bed by 10pm but it's not going to happen. The dog is already curled up in his bed.

    I still need to:
    Put left overs in fridge
    Wash up / S&S kitchen
    Packed lunch stuff out for the morning
    Emergency money for DD
    Loaf out of the freezer
    Tidy livingroom
    Make my bed
    Have a shower
    Get clothing etc out for tomorrow.
    Charge my phone or a charger!

    Can I get it all done by 11pm?? I'm going to give it a blooming good go!! :wave:

    Didn't happen but I did try!
    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!
