We've had quite a glorious day in the garden. They played with water bombs and the sprinkler, we had burgers on the patio and they rode bikes (DD has managed to set off on her own and go round a corner :T) and played football.
Not a lot of flying, but everything put neatly away. Loads of laundry put away too. And kiddies dunked in bath - they needed it, lol.Bossymoo
Away with the fairies :beer:0 -

Clean inside the microwave. A good tip is to heat up a cup of water in the microwave - the steam shifts all the yukky stuff on the microwave
Look at the cost of getting a new microwave - check finances and schedule purchase date
Clean the kitchen window and windowsill. Rehome anything that shouldn't be there

Tomorrow I'll be off list first thing, Ex's dad (and mum?) are calling in to collect DD and I want the livingroom clean before they get here so I'm grabbing last weeks livingroom list as well as the set bedroom list!
I've just changed the batteries in the smoke alarms (yes they're working) and the central heating timer...and reset the timer as it was 5 minutes slow. It's going in my diary as a reminder for me to do it again next year.
I've just cleared all the paperwork from the horizontal areas around my desk during which I found a voting form which was meant to be done...so just done it in under a minute onlineThis leaves a small pile of papers to be sorted tomorrow instead of massive pile which had accumulated over the weekend as I found them

Good Morning All,
I am in, but rather gently flapping as opposed to flying. Too much RL stuff getting in the way, but I will at least do the dailies.
Thank you for the lists xx
Mumof2 - lovely to see you! I had been wondering for a while where you were.
Big sticks in a heap here to chase of BDs.
I adore autumn, and am really excited for the start of September, DD starts reception, DS starts pre-school, and it feels like a fresh chapter. Oh and when it gets colder I can wear knitted tights and boots
Have lovely days all xxMFW

Well that was a 10 mins phone call worth making,
even at this hour of the morning, to a lovely man, I got my £25 back from the Nationwide!it seems I went over drawn
as I set 2 direct debits up for the same one amount, if that makes sense.
Right off to do some else now :j

Morning all
ATB I find winter clothes easier than summer. I dont really like showing my bare legs so thick woolly tights and boots is a plus for me too!
So .. up nice and early, bathroom swished, mince beef hotpot in the sc, salad made up for lunch, carpet sweeper deployed downstairs, just a few bits of washing up to dry and put away.
Both paid stuff today. Oh and DS2 has just proudly told me that he has been watching Netflix all night and hasnt been to sleep. That boy is going to get a shock next week!!
Have a good Tuesday everyone x0 -
Morning All, please may I join in the fun?0
