Morning all,
Up since 6.30, and done umpteen chores in that time. Breakfast now. We have a long list of things to do today, it will all take a while as the children are with me but if we get done by lunch we will go to the park later. T minus 7 days to back to school
Have lovely days all xxMFW

Shudder, it is so cold this morning, I thought about putting a jumper on – I wish I had!
Have a work logo fleece on until I warm up, I will be doing Monday and Tuesdays list tonight as apparently my landlady is coming this week to see about upgrades to the house, about time, shes a nightmare – they don’t have the budget to upgrade yet I have creeped

Morning all,
Awake since 2.30am - thank you "power surges":mad: - then sound asleep at 6.30am. DH has gone to work, so I got up and made a cup of tea and took it back to bed to read the last chapter in my book. A real treat, as guilt usually gets the better of me.
Today I want to, in no particular order:
WM x2
HHI
Mop kitchen and utility room floors
Deal with the 2 buckets of fruit in the kitchen
S&s the bathrooms
And..drumroll... do at least some of the mounting paperwork.
We'll see just how far I get...0 -
Up, showered, breakfast eaten, washing pegged out. Just finishing my second :coffee: but there's no milk for more so I'm going to have to hit the shops at some point.
Need to empty DW then make a start on the list. Won't be changing my bed though as I did that on Sunday.Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson
