I've done half an hour and got it halfway decent! I've wiped one window sill and hidden loads of junk.. in the bin and my jars of pickles now have cupboard space rather than work surface space!!

pleased as i have managed to get my books marked with the reports in them ready for tomorrow and finished by my ten pm target.

just spotted DH shining my sink for me. He really is a star.

also just remembered to do a homework task sheet for y9 so that is one less thing to do tomorrow. smiles.

will be in bed in a bit, as DH has an early start tomorrow so we will need to be on the ball to get everything done on time. hope charlie sleeps better tonight.

I am going to say now that i will not be marking books tomorrow evening as i will be having me time by watching heroes, and i will also be writing charlie's cards and making things prettier for his party, like i spent half an hour degrotting the spare room monday night, but could do with airers emptying again and things put away/ironed, and my stuff i sorted to go away needs putting in boxes to go in loft.

I think i have knackered myself up again already.

The cheeky tw@ t in charge of my dept - i said to him today, i wasn't paid for my management work since coming back - he says to me, yes, i need to talk to you about what you have actually been doing for that money. I can't really put his tone in, but he didn't imply that he thought i deserved it. He can take his 136 quid a month and shove it where the sun don't shine cos you can't buy health or time with family. 8 weeks till chrimbo, and then about 12 more till easter and me being off again - roll on. oh, and the other one, the supply teacher didn't say anything to my class apparently. perhaps my brother and his girlfriend have been spreading rumours about my pregnancy. what a jerk.

anyway, good to destress here before bed. it's like having a diary or something i suppose and getting all the grrrrrr out to aid restful sleep.

Love and hugs to all of you, and i will try to pop in tomorrow but see how i goes.

Michelle, x

hugs michelle - don't let them get you down. your health and wellbeing is more important.

Baking apples - I wipe the outside. Take the core out. Score a line in the skin around the apple - not deep. Place in an ovenproof dish. Fill the whole where the core was with brown sugar, rasin and cinamon. Put a small blob of butter on top. I put a tiny bit of water in the bottom of the dish - bake 30mins to 1 hour depending on size of apple and number you are cooking

Quick update from me, not done a lot today but didn't need to do a lot to the kitchen as the daily s&s helps and I've been managing to keep in fairly clutter free and clean!;) Have half done cooker, soaking grill pan at the mo might go and finsih off in a mo or in the morning.

Terrible Tuesday - Kitchen and Dining Room
Level One
[STRIKE]Clean floors
[/STRIKE]Level Two
[STRIKE]Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces
[/STRIKE]Sort fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front, clean out any spills or grots in there! Still need to give fridge a good clean
[STRIKE]Wipe dining table.. (clean table cloth if necessary)
[/STRIKE]Level Three
Dust any extra furniture in dining area, checking for cobwebs on way round
Wipe and replace all those small appliances.. kettle, toaster etc
[STRIKE]Clean oven if you didn't do it last week
[/STRIKE]well half done it anyway
Clean cupboard door fronts and fronts of appliances .. don't forget those kick boards..
Check those washing machine filters and drawers for ickiness!! Tumble dryer and dishwasher filters need to be done too!!
Extra Mission
Choose one or more of:

• Wipe window sills and clean windows in these rooms
• Wipe down any tiles and shine those taps.. a toothbrush is great for cleaning away the gunk!
• Write an inventory of your cupboards contents and what needs using first
• Empty the cutlery drawer.. clean it out, wash the cutlery tray, chuck those baby spoons you don't use any more.. how many medicine spoons do you actually need? get rid of everything you don't use and make the drawer look nice again!

Not done any extras today, but kids rooms are pretty tidy since the move round at the weekend so will try to do some extras tommorow, although I am at work from 9-1!

DD1 had her jab this avo and was like a bear with a sore head until bedtime, don't know if it was a coincidense or not dosed her up with some calpol before bed and she was fine!:rolleyes:

Some extras I need to do tommorow are:

• send of tesco vouchers to convert(sold them on ebay)
• post next payment
• send more ebay parcels
• send of form for mobile phone cashback
• List more ebay stuff

Ok off to bed in a mo I think just watching the repeat of eastenders!
