Evening

Work done
Cleaning done
I've had a tidy around.
Shopping list made

greenbee

I can't believe how much crap I've just shifted from my office. I don't know whether we'll need to put an airbed in there as my DB has to talk to my SIL and decide whether they stay or go home (and whether my parents stay or go home). However, we will have to do some shuffling round of chairs between kids eating and adults eating so at least I now have somewhere to put them!

Need to check the sizes of the airbeds my brother has dropped off, and plan tomorrow carefully - I could do with returning a couple of things to shops on the way to my hair appointment, and ideally doing a CS drop off too (that will make space in my car so I can do the last of the shopping).

I'm shattered now, but have lots to do still... I need to start making a list. And tidy my desk in the sitting room so at least I'll have one room completely done!

greenbe I once had family to stay so dug out the spare duvet only to find it had a big grubby mark on it. No time to buy another or wash it so put a nice clean cover on and decided that no-one would know. My SIL kindly stripped the duvet cover off for washing before she left and I was so embarrassed.

I am a nervous wreck about taking the dog to the vet. Anxiety into overdrive. And I have to take him to as different place so don't exactly know where I am going. And I have to drop DS for the bus first so time will be tight. And I need to get back to work asap because I am missing a meeting (with bosses permission).

Deep breaths .....

Morning everyone, yay its Friday!

So, dog to vet first thing, just have to be brave and get this over with. Its an hour and a half at the most right? Glad its not later in the day.

Then paid stuff, will finish late to make the time up. DS2 has hair appointment and I will try and get boys bedrooms done around that. DS2s bedroom needs a major declutter. Might have a go at that tomorrow.

Better wake DS2 up and get moving!

HHI
Bathroom floor
Clean bog, sink and bath

Piggers thanks very much for advice re nits. All they ever do at school is send texts to everyone. It needs direct action.
YL hope vets goes ok. Greenbeeyou sound massively busy, hope it all goes well x

Today off the the paid stuff, but also:

Daily stuff
15 min tidying kids room
Hoover kids room
Strip kids beds
Clear a hotspot somewhere
Decorating
Walk dog


Friday yay! Have a good one
