    Rubbish sleep here too.. Twinkle was very resistant to the concept most of the night and at 6am when she finally went to sleep I was AWAKE with frog eyes.. not a bonny sight.. good job OH is blind without his specs and it was dark haha.

    OH skiving work as he has a job interview just as far in the opposite direction :/ yes it seems pointless BUT it is 30 hours on the job training at £16 an hour.. and fits really well with his personal training... though, he can do the same course closer to home so we may get him settled elsewhere and do that as a 'hobby'

    Twinkle is hysterically screaming while clinging to my leg.. I'm not being cruel and ignoring her, I put her on the floor with some food after she was screaming in my face and hitting me whilst on my lap.

    Yesterday was a bit of a waste.. I got none of the big tasks done I wanted to.. I still need to fold and put away the laundry and I must wipe down work surfaces.. they are disgusting!

    And them I was the vacuum the stairs and middle room.

    Tuesday list to be added to page 1 post for ease of finding.

    I'm going to make a start on my dining room frog today :eek:

    Do you think the sleep thing is hormone related? I had a rubbish week for sleep last week, but since the weekend finished and *that time* began it seems to have resolved. Maybe I had pre-menstrual insomnia. PMI? Lol.

    Just been round on a quick dot to dot and straighten up. Made a coffee and wondering what to have for breakfast.

    Jobs today are mainly the DR, cleaning the furries cage and putting the groceries away. If I've time, I've some trousers of DS' to exchange for a different size.

    Wishing you all a productive day xx

    Sorry the today's list wasn't up till this morning.. I think I was still in holiday mode..or at least wishing I was with all the stuff that needs doing since coming back.

    How can just coming into a lovely clean tidy house, and being here for 3 days turn the house into a pigsty..? I'm amazed...lol

    Happy Birthday Valli! :bdaycake:

    I'm only surprised it took three days, Natty. I can turn this place in to pristine to pigsty in one!

    I slept really badly last night, and eventually twigged it was because my feet were cold - normally they're too hot. Autumn has arrived.

    Have also cancelled my 3* boiler cover, given the boiler is SNAFU

    I'd say that usage is absolutely correct.
    I can't wash up I am deaf in one ear.

    Wow! Not one I've heard before but that may be because I don't have a DS. It clearly made sense to him!

    Go get 'em Dizzy! You can wrangle A Small and A Tiny at the same time, so you can defo deal with one builder.

    Everything's straightish, so I need to crack on with some minutes and then go and deal with pots and foliage while the weather's still dry.
    Better is good enough.
