    Morning All :)

    Up early again, so DW and WM are doing their thing. I am dressed and have made our bed; DS is dressed and fed and DD has just surfaced.

    After school run I need to go to Aldi, go volunteering, dump some [STRIKE]tat[/STRIKE] treasures at the charity shop then have a snooze. Feel run down and sniffly.

    Aggh Piggers what a nightmare I hope you get it sorted ASAP.

    Best crack on have lovely days all xx
    MFW :)

    Toilet brushes drying outside and one has been binned - thank you Valli for the reminder, but how do you always know these things??!

    Much like horoscopes, really (and about as scientific lol) there is bound to be something on each list which exactly fits someone!

    Today's list is intended to make sure that, when you watch the footy you don't spot things that need to be done! Come on England!

    Off today for DD's graduation:T:T:T

    Going to fling on something and do ironing & have breakfast before I shower.

    Have a lovely day, Valli.

    Piggers - yuk. Good luck.

    A day of errands, appointments and driving...school, market, dentist, Mr L, hairdressers, Mr M, DD volunteering, errands....and maybe home.

    Oh and the LR needs a going over as it has been really neglected over the past few weeks due my serious case of cba- ness.

    Catch you later.

    Hope the sewage problem gets sorted very quickly, pigpen.

    More supporting vibes to LW.

    Are you developing a split personality, Mademoiselle?

    Enjoy your DD's moment in the limelight, Valli :T

    My house is pleasantly cool this morning so I am plodding on with the essay prep (not got on to the actual writing yet). I have already
    - pulled down the blinds in the kitchen and DR to keep them cool
    - put away last night's washing up
    - cut off all the growing parsley and coriander that I bought on Sunday, and frozen it; put the shorn-off plants outside with the other plants that get watered regularly in the hope that I shall get a second crop
    - refilled the fruit fly trap - trying red wine vinegar instead of cider vinegar this time (the fruit flies have gone up-market :rotfl:)
    - rescued another blackening banana by slicing and freezing it; an occasional frozen slice is very refreshing in the heat - tastes like ice cream, but free on SW ;)
    - made and drunk a cuppa
    - checked my bank account which is as expected :cool: It wasn't me that won the Euromillions!

    To do today:
    - strip and wash bedding
    - S&S kitchen
    - S&S bathroom
    - hoover downstairs again
    - send DH on an errand
    - my friend is coming to do my nails at 10.30
    - go to college library this afternoon
    - persuade Rosie to wait for her walk until this evening - I can't stand football!
    - work
    - feed us
    - work
    - feed us
    - work

    Catch up later. Hope everyone has a good day x

    Lovely and cool here too. I'll be out in the garden soon. The dogs have already had a walk. A bit of a different day here today, birthday celebrations and the footie although I am working later.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Not quite, definitely want England to win the final but France is my second choice.

    A few bits done this morning, WM x 2, DW emptied, HHI x 2 still a bit left to do but not too much so will finish that off whilst wathing Tour de France this afternoon. Car service later, currently teting DD2 GPS as it stopped working just when she needed it but it looks like it's a problem with power cable or charger socket in her car so should be fixable. A few bits of paperwork filed away.

    Going to make after (early) lunch coffee and go and tidy round living room.

    Just updating my list - if it's gone, it's done.

    - hang out 2nd load of bedding
    - S&S bathroom - DH was in there for aaaaages and I can't do it now that I've just had my nails varnished :rotfl:
    - go to college library this afternoon
    - persuade Rosie to wait for her walk until this evening - I can't stand football! I capitulated to her soulful eyes and took her for a quick walk before breakfast, but she'll want to go out again this evening
    - feed us
    - work
    - feed us
    - work

    Jojo, Greek or Russian next?
