    Both kids are going to school today - wahey! However, DD still isn't 100% and DS is coming down with it as well. Is it too much to ask for them both to manage to stay in school all week this week so I can get some things done before half-term - next week. I shall be back about lunchtime after my meeting and make a start then.

    Hope everyone has a good day

    Morning Everyone,
    Hope you good weekends, I haven't been on this weekend. I've had people over and other stuff to do.
    I'll be carrying on with the kitchen today. I only have one cupboard to clean out and I will need to clean the cooker before we go, but I think I'm going to leave it till the last wekk.
    I also need to sort out transport to Heathrow, list more things on ebay, open a bank account and do some food shopping.
    We ended up have a chinese and fish and chips this weekend. I know we have to live , but I'd prefer to not be spending my money on that stuff..
    Just waiting for kinders to go to school, then I'll throw some clothes on and get started.
    Oh, also need to ring electrician and hoover through.

    Good morning

    A quick post from me, DD1 going into hospital this morning for ear surgery, had to get up early so she could eat some toast and have a drink and then nothing until after surgery. I have batched cooked for DD2 and OH so we don't have to buy expensive food at the hospital. Parking at the hospital is expensive here as well, have saved up change so not to have to buy something from the shop to get change.

    Left kitchen and house reasonably tidy, washing/ironing up to date

    Talk later in the week, have a good week everyone :wave:
  • Morning all.

    Been feeling a bit tired this past week and now I have a cold. I was supposed to be going to see The Cribbs with DH last night, but felt so yuck he went on his own and I went to bed at 8.15.
    Woken up a bit brighter but still feel like I could sleep for a week. :eek:
    Not sure how much I'll get done, but something is better than nothing.
    Only working 1 day next week as it's half term, but hopefully not too much time spent in either if the weather is good, so need to sort this mess out soon!

    Hugs to those in need.

    Hello Tracey, this list (and the people on it) is definitely the best thing to help you get organised.
    ...it is not of more importance than daily life, which I have an enduring wish to make as useful and beautiful as possible.

  • Be thinking of you all today mumoftwo.

    lil-me hope your friends is holding up and good luck with the move. I moved in April and realised how much rubbish I had accumulated!! Still think I have accumulated loads of rubbish since moving into the new house. Remember to have breaks as no good if you wear yourself out. Who would do it then?

    Hugs and best wishes to all who need them.
