Before work:
bit of tidying
Bit of washing up
Got paperwork ready for this week's assessments.
Did one.
Went for a run when got home, haven't done that for ages to my regret.
Had a shower and gave it a good clean while I was in there.
About to have dinner then leap into action again.Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.0 -
Evening all.
Thank you for the hugs, very much appreciated.
I’ve tried to pull my finger out a bit today so I inadvertently achieved level 1 of the bedroom list before work. Dinner has been cooked, kitchen has had a cursory s&s and the coffee table in the LR has been tidied of junk.
There’s no energy left for anything else as I’m not sleeping particularly well, so it’s cuppa and sofa time. Ooh - the pick and mix list made it to the weekly email :money:. Well done Valli!0 -

oh wow...
ASB tell 'em to do one.
I am so pleased I prepped my SC meal (veggie chilli) last night because I didn't get in 'til gone 7.
And I did a WM, DW and TD this morning - and I've just remembered I haven't emptied the TD.

Thank you Honey Bear0 -
Yesterday and today disappeared under a pile of pumpkins and ghost (I do actually love doing halloween themed lessons with them but oh the prep!)
My washing machine has decided it is time to get revenge and clothes are coming out dirtier than they go in so after several hot runs with washing soda crystals and much cleaning of the seals etc I have just put a proprietary cleaner in it and hope that it is back up to scratch tomorrow?
Not working until tomorrow evening so hope to get plenty of flying done, although finances and admin are the priority
See you tomorrow0 -
Just lost my nightly post :mad:
Cba to write it all again - I flew and it included the hoover. Amen

Hi all
Long day again. Dailies done, supper eaten and kitchen reset. Laundry shuffled. Not too much other flying to report.
I went and bought some paint samples and put them on the wall so we can choose what colours to have the master bedroom. Oh, and booked the decorator in to do it, not for a while but at least it’s on the calendar.
Jammies on now and having a sit down and a catch up.
Back tomorrow, will try and fly some more if time allows x0 -
Leaped into action for a while.
Bin put out for the morning.
All worktops as clear as they can be which is a major feat. And wiped.
Paperwork pile in kitchen sorted. Lots recycled.
Plants watered and any dead bits trimmed. Any plants sitting in a dish have had their dish washed!
Appliances wiped.
Aga kettle descaled.
Fridge contents tidied.
Beef casserole prepared and in slow cooker, in fridge, to put on tomorrow. Although Mr N's ferry has been delayed owing to weather so he won't be back until very late tomorrow.
There are still a few things to blitz - 2 cutlery drawers, a few other areas like pinboard but although it's taken me nearly 2 weeks I'm really pleased.
Emailed vicar to see if I can use drums tomorrow. Checked various other emails and post.
Not tempted to do any report writing tonight as I'm really tired, so the news then bed.Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.0 -

(((Hugs)) asb. Don't let them get you down!
Well, I overslept after another broken night, put ingredients for stew in the SC , dusted downstairs, went out to meet my friend for coffee and lunch, came home, took Rosie for her walk (slowly), ate stew with DH [nom-nom], tidied the kitchen and started the DW, sorted a few papers, and decided I'd had enough. I wasn't even in the mood to watch The Apprentice.
I have to go out on what should be a full training day tomorrow but I am inclined to skive off at lunchtime. The main speaker in the 2 morning sessions is one of our college lecturers who is definitely worth hearing, but I don't think I have the mental strength atm to cope with the subject matter of the afternoon sessions. I'd rather come home and do some more tidying up of the garden - even though the weather forecast is for light rain showers from 3.00. We'll see.0 -
Morning all,
Thanks for your kind words, you've cheered me up a lot, just hung all the washing out before work and the line has collapsed! It will have to stay there now as no time to sort! We are all fed, watered and dressed, heading off shortly. Not home until 6pm tonight, so flying will be limited.
Have lovely days all xx0
