I'm in school all day today and at work this evening so I'll only be at home for about 2 hours until 10pm so I probably won't get a lot done.

Still trying to work on my application form - I can never get my head round the additional notes I have to put on!

Hope everyone has a good day

Morning all :hello:

OH turned the alarm off on me this morning so I ended up sleeping in until just before 7am then he complained that I wanted to use the bathroom when he did :rolleyes::mad: DD didn't want to get up even though she had a 20 minute lie-in and isn't with us this morning - I think she's on Pluto or somewhere like that :rolleyes:

Realised last night that I haven't done the ebay parcels, which requires me booting up the other computer. Going to start changing email things over to my hotmail account as we've only had seperate computers for 2 days and already I'm getting annoyed already :rotfl:

WHAT?!?!? Its time for the school run already :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

embb

Kinders gone to school, just sitting here with a coffee...feel shattered and don't want to do anything, but...I'm going to start by washing the saucepans and then do the kitchen and utility room. Cause I've generally kept on top of it, its not too bad....Could we please have some kitchen drawers to do on the list next week? I need to do my cutlery drawer and the drawer with my cooking utensils in, but without it being on my list I'm struggling to motivate myself. I'm going to do food cupboards when its a bit closer to going time, cause then they'll be emptier!
Right, off to get started, be back in about an hour...
