    So it's pretty much only 15 weeks till Christmas? :eek: Glad I've already made a start as it'll fly by.

    Got to go out now as I've just noticed I've run out of bacci *sigh* so I'll have to go to Asda so may as well pick my shopping up whilst I'm there....

    Afternoon , thanks for the tea and hot chocolate.

    Getting there with the kitchen, lunch done so need to go back in there and finish.

    My DS2 is starting secondary school tomorrow - bless him he is so tiny. His only concern is about getting his lunch, he talks endlessly about the smart card system they use and how he will put money on. He wanted to be free school meals like at primary when OH was not working but I've explained he can still have lunches we just pay now:rotfl:

    Right need to get that kitchen done so I can go to bike shop to get a screw for DS3 bike which broke when OH was raising the seat yesterday - he will not be happy if he cannot cycle to school. OH made his bunk beds for the teddies yesterday and he is really pleased with them.

    Good afternoon all:

    just home from work, and here's my list:

    [STRIKE]Pick up squirt from babysitter after work at 1[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Off to the shops to buy my niece a birthday present AND stick it in the post straight away. Only hoping it will still get there on time..
    (did see the perfect gift for her though!) [/STRIKE]
    Then home on time by 2:30 to catch the school lot coming home.
    Then into the kitchen it is!

    Clean all apliences on worksurface
    clean worksurface
    clean oven
    clean inside of microwave
    outside of fridge (did the inside before shop on saturday)
    clean inside the top cabinets (maybe even bottom ones if time)
    clean dw filter
    clean bin
    clean all cabinet fronts
    clean cooker
    clean shelves and chuck what doesn't belong on there. (strange how places that are set out to hold only pretty ornaments tend to attract crap..)

    Clean floor

    Cook the dinner

    and clean up after dinner.


    Dailies:

    toilet
    DW
    hoover high traffic area's
    Tire out husky puppy
    Entertain children
    punish 11 yr old DD2 (ýes I'm nasty I know)

    Sooo I'm getting on with it now...
    Doing good on the non smoking so far.. (only day one!) but talking on the phone to my sis was hard, because that used to be a real smoking moment..

    going to get busy now.. will check in later.

    Hi guys!

    Just a quick hello to you all (at work), and thanks to all of you who sent me well wishes and nice comments about being paid. Luckily my shoulder does seem to have eased off a bit today, and hopefully it will have a chance to completely recover by Saturday, as I'm at work all day.

    Well done with all of the flying. Am heading straight to the supermarket after work, so will try to check in this evening.

    Happy flying everyone!

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    :mad: absolutely fuming, my drunkered neighbour was outside yesterday shouting on, this time at someone else, then I went out to my car this morning & my wing mirror has been smashed off wish I'd caught whoevers done it, can guess it was that drunken old idiot, police coming round anyway but doubt they will be able to do much. Blasted through the sitting room cleaning, suppose being in a rage is good for some things!

    Pigpen I'm sure your DS will be fine, I have no doubt you'll have it sorted in no time.

    Oh and ordered Sky+ for us, sick of having to stay up until 2am to watch Holby on Sundays as we're out on Tuesdays now, aswell as that DP is at work when he wants to watch stuff. Managed to get it for £49 so not too bad as usually £99.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
    GC: £200

    Right... I have just added £3000 to my debt .. for a new boiler and installation.. it was vital though as it should save me £100 a month short term and long term it is safer in my sons room, takes up less space and they are installing it in 4-6 weeks.. so the middle room will be emptied.. DS1 moved in there while the work is done and his room can then be decorated and he can move back in. This will mean I have to postpone sorting the girls room, but, that is cosmetic this is safety issues.

    My kitchen looks like it belongs in someone elses house!!!
    My front room looks like someone else

    Next round of washing is ready to go out so.. brb!!
