    WMx1 all pegged out, rained on, zipped in, pegged out again and am currently watching grey clouds skudding across the sky.
    Dining room dy$oned, proper furniture moving type Flying.
    Kitchen sink sparkled.
    Handwashing soaking. Must go and deal with it, and see if the colours have run. If so, it's for the bin.
    Paperwork shuffled.
    Shoes cleaned.
    Better is good enough.

    I'm happy with it as its only cost me £2 and as I paid for the fabric at the carboot last years it's sort of free.

    Very impressive MrsMp! Nice fabric too.

    My day so far consisted of paid stuff, dash to post office to post ebay parcel, home for meeting about DS1, dog walked, DS2 delivered to work, beans on toast eaten. Now I am going to sort some washing and give the kitchen surfaces a clean. I am at my gym class later and need to keep going, I didnt sleep very well last night and if I stop I wont want to move again.

    I'm in...*waving feebly*

    It's only Monday and I'm exhausted already. Thanks for the lists Natty and Piggers x

    I have been flat out today.

    Breakfast Club run, vets for check up on foot, toddler group for an hour, tip run after a quick sort out, food shop with Tiny (utter joy), bought corn for chickens at the Farm Shop, sorted out washing and drying (three times), ordered and paid for 50 tonnes of soil to be delivered on Wednesday, collected DH's prescription, then Small from school, prepped and started cooking roast chicken dinner, made a rhubarb, apple and ginger crumble, sorted out recycling,..

  • Evening all,

    Well, long day at work done, tea cooked and eaten, wm on, DW on, kitchen surfaces cleared and wiped (major achievement considering what they looked like). Children in bed. Now I'm just going to walk down the road to my friends as dd1 left her coat in the rec near her house after school. Then I may push the boat out and hoover and mop the kitchen floor.

    dizzy sounds like you haven't had time to draw breath today!

    mrsmp dress is fab.

    Bit worried about doggy as she hasn't eaten her tea, or been begging and looking hopeful while I was cooking and eating ours, or hanging around when I was clearing the table. Very unusual.

    Evening all

    Didn't achieve much, ironing done, Bed stripped (need to remake), washed DS3's muddy coat.

    Will aim to get a bit done in the kitchen tomorrow.

    Sleep well all.

    Narco looks like another hectic week for you; are you feeling a little more relaxed than you were the other day? Remember to squeeze in some 'me time' for you.

    Ah thanks, I'm fine. The trouble with me is that my 'me time' lasts too long - a 20 min break for lunch turns into an hour in the conservatory with a kindle if I'm at home. Looks as if I have just one student tomorrow and one on Wed teaching wise, and assessments Wed & Thurs. That should give me time to crack on with writing up the outstanding reports. Although I booked another private assessment this morning and left a message for another enquirer.

    Today mum and I:
    - went to the tip
    - went to visit brothers MIL who hasn't been well
    - went to library
    - got a couple of things from Mr T
    - I finished and emailed a report and made a few phone calls
    Then we sort of lost our momentum other than 1 load washing done, hung up and brought in just before the icy rain.

    I'm about to start on another report.

    Bird fans alert; forgot to say yesterday's excitement on our walk was that we saw a goldcrest.
    And we definitely have 2 fairies regularly on the feeder at home.
    OK end of twitch.
