    Morning all

    Lovely day here, only one load of washing today - first time this week. With DS home for a few days (bringing his holiday washing with him) I've had at least two loads a day all week.

    I've S&Sd the kitchen, vacuumed right through downstairs. Cleaned bathroom and toilet which I didn't do yesterday. And I've done some IRONING. That doesn't happen very often :D But we're going out for a meal tonight so I had to iron my frock (one and only).

    But best of all, I logged into my bank this morning and we've got our money back. I've been busy transferring stuff back to where it's supposed to be after moving stuff about to stay in the black!

    Now if this computer will just stay on things are looking up ;)

    Half way through!! and I'm sweating like a good 'un, it doesn't help having the sun blaring down on my through the big windows - and it hasn't occured to me until this very second to close the blinds doh! :rolleyes: it's all tidy and lots of stuff 'flinged' more than 50 I'll bet...just got to clean now.

    Update whilst having a rest.....lol

    Friday - those frightning Friday kids rooms and spare rooms

    Level One

    Vacuum the floor, even if it's just where you can get to
    Level Two
    Anything that isn't in it's place where it should be, clothes, toys, books etc
    Level Three

    Lunch anyone????

    what we having?

    I've just put corned dog hash in the SC for dinner ..It seems like we only had it a fe days ago but everyone asked for it so who am I to refuse... it took me 7 minutes to prepare it.. it'll finish about 5pm and when I get in from school I'll sling the corned dog in! The rabbits got the peelings too!

    I've done a pink blancmange for dessert (BARF!!!) and a red jelly (slightly better!) so I'll get ice cream to accompany it and everyone should be fed!

    Now I MUST do some proper work.. because I've just been looking for excuses not to hit the list.. I hate doing upstairs!!

    Morning all, still struggling to fly. Nearly finished tax return stuff I have to get done. Done most of my dalies. Just putting the washer on and popping to ASDA. Busy after school again with footie trials DS2 and cricket awards DS1 and DS2.

    Poor DS3 is being vile - he is not coping with being back at school so we are all suffering. I am patient for a while but not endlessly he can be suck a strop-pot.

    I may try a bit of catchy upey over the weekend but if not I will try harder from Monday.

    Gosh food, I haven't had any yet!

    I've finished! YAY! :j well except for the prep tea but I'll do that in a sec. Oh and the ironing! well almost finished then....grumble.

    Can I come to your house for tea pigpen? :D I almost did corned beef hash but thought better of it when I remembered the groans and flailing of arms I get from the kids cause they don't like it much, and decided I couldn't be arsed with all that today so settled for mash/fish and beans. :cool:
