    Well just for a change today didn't work out as planned. Had a row with DH, left the house and didn't come back for just over 3 hours so that really messed up my plans. I had worked first thing so when I got back I cleaned the kitchen from the list and here's what is left from the list:

    Mop the floor
    Clean the icky filters and drawers from DW's, WM's etc
    Wipe the table, replace cloth if needed
    Clean oven/hob!
    Pick a cupboard and empty and clean it out and replace only what you wish to keep!
    Extras!
    Binbag dance!
    HHI
    Clean windows
    Clean the oven shelves.. soak them in wash powder.. that works!


    Not a lot but I'd done what I could. Argued some more with DH before tea, left them to do tea whilst I went up stairs to cool off and now am going to do some work. Great day eh!! Never mind, riding tomorrow am which will put a smile back on my face.


    Looks like you've all had productive days so that's good

    Brilliant, well done to you.
    Had interview this morning then went to garden centre lunch and long chat with another interviewee - we have both reapplied for the assessment contract at uni for the next 2yrs. Won't know the outcome till mid June apparently as it needs 4 signatures on the contract!

    Just been to G0 0utdoors and got a few bargain running shirts as I seem to be going through them at present. Mr N got a load of stuff but isn't as vigilant at checking sizes as me - he just walked in aghast having taking the shirt he bought on a M hanger has XXL inside it......

    Then went to Mr T. Nearly killed in the fight for the reduced stuff, it's like a feeding frenzy by the groceries at 8pm. I didn't dive and grab like some, but still got a cauli for 10p, 3 lemons for 3p, a bunch of chives for 7p, bag of salad for 10p and a couple of other things.

    Filled car up with petrol then came home and made a pizza while Mr N was unpacking. Must say I am lucky with him; when he retires I think he'll take over the flylist duties entirely.....

    Booked next week's clubbercise and zumba classes.
    Bit of uni work now while pizza cooking.

    I'm very late joining this week, but thank you Natty for the list and to Valli ( as well as a well done :T ) for last week's.
    Busy day today, not helped by no broadband this morning. It threw me not knowing what the list was, even though I had no time to tick anything off before work! Nothing ticked off this evening either, as DH dropped DD and me at the blue and yellow Swedish store for a couple of hours while he did some FiL duties. DD was in 7th heaven......strict instructions to look and not buy though!
    ((Hugs)) to all those in need, and begone vibes to all those nasty lurgies which are lurking.

    Well done Valli :T
    I ate cake and choccy biscuit yesterday and 2 more biscuits today, so I doubt that I shall register a loss at weigh-in tomorrow :(

    Today has not been a good day for me - trying to write something for my course (with the practical assessment on Saturday) and it just wouldn't come right until at about 5 pm I gave in and approached it from a different angle. Now I know what I'm going to do, but I do need to be able to write a few good paragraphs in one fell swoop, to get some flow, so I gave in and cleaned most of the house at the same time as cooking tea. DH followed me around with the hoover. The cleaning's not quite all done (I thought the NDNs might object if he hoovered late) and anyway DH needs a hair cut, so the rest will be completed after I've scalped him in the morning.

    Did WMx2, most of it is now bone dry, and I'll put that away in the morning too. Trying to get a relatively early night tonight so that I can get on with college prep first thing, then continue the writing task after a quick dash to weigh in at SW.

    Hope the various lurgies are soon on the wane and peace is quickly restored where words have been spoken.

    We had "the talk" last night. The one to discuss and decide whether to call it a day on our marriage.

    Today I feel utterly drained.

    I have a Welsh language class this morning, a food shop to do, a site meeting to attend after lunch, have to organise the pets' vaccinations, arrange a passport for Tiny, look for a holiday, send off the form for temporary exemption from council tax and about a dozen other things to do.

    I woke up to find our lovely GirlDog had done a bin raid in the night. I hate her right now.

    Morning ladies :D

    Big big hugs to you Dizzy. You know we are all here for you, anything we can do to make your life even one iota easier just ask.

    Loads to do today. Already sent a ranting email to Owners Direct, who are "holding" nearly £800 of our money because we made a reservation enquiry last week (which was subsequently declined, as the property isn't available). Yet they are still holding the money. If they don't release it today a load of direct debits will bounce.

    DW unloaded, kiddies beds made, 3 hours paid stuff this morning so DS is going to my grandma's (his great-grandma's - she's 81 bless her but you would honestly think she was 60!)

    I'll have lunch with her, then need to buy food - FiL is coming for dinner.

    Big hugs to you all xx
