  • Morning all,

    TFI Friday and half term! I am showered, dressed and fed, kiddies are eating then we will head off. 2pm finish today and I plan on being in bed with my book by 8pm!

    I fully put the kitchen to bed last night so it was lovely to come down to. Laundry over airer with dehumidifier on, also Slinky is very much back on here near to shift the stone that's crept on!

    Happy Friday all xx

    I'm with you on Slinky ASB

    I'm hovering around this morning hoping to catch the binmen to add a few extra bags, I can't leave them on the ground next to the bin as all and sundry will complain and cars will drive into them so I'd have even more mess to clear up. Extra bags are the result of last weekends clearout. But want space for next weeks clearout of the play when DD2 is hope.

    Gardener should be coming today to cut down 3 tress which will mean less leaves and a more open garden.

    Off to other house for weekend and to pick up DD2 who will then be home for a week.

    Accounts nearly up to date and admin getting there slowly.

    Working midday just for an hour and it doesn't require any planning so that's easy

    WM on
    Fire loaded
    DW unloaded
    Yesterdays mince packed up and in freezer

    Coffee time

    I’m feeling a bit better today from the lurgy.

    Dustbin men have been so I need to retrieve the Wheelie.

    1 x wm done so I need to empty that.

    I have to take DS2 for his injections soon so I better feed him.

    Back later x

    Just decluttered lots of money but garden is now 3 trees lighter, and they've gone before they can drop their leaves. It's made quite a difference to the amount of light coming into the house.

    Work done and quick lunch eaten with colleagues.

    Time to have a cup of tea and pack for weekend.

    Also need to fold/iron/put away a load of washing but it's mainly underwear so quick and easy.

    Need to go and read if I can cut my lilac back hard as it now looks too tall and stragely

    Have a good day

    Jojo.. this is pretty much the same as the mattress I got.. It is rock solid with a super squishy top. Worth every single penny.

    But the dog has brought fleas home :eek: Ive boil washed bedding, throws etc, sprayed flea stuff everywhere (& ordered some more), any more tips? My ankles are covered in bites :(
  • Staying home tomorrow to catch up on what I didn`t manage to get done during the week, well after I go to weight watchers in the morning... fingers crossed for a loss.

    Pokey little flat actually not looking too bad. Planning to wash net curtains and clean the windows next week. Must clear the pile of mail I`ve dumped in the kitchen... out of sight out of mind. Also need to email a good friend as I`ve been putting it off for months.

    Hope you all have a good weekend

    ASB, get the dog treated as well, if need be talk to your vets to get strong flea treatment. Be prepared to spray the floors etc again.

    Only just got up. Hope everyone is ok.

    Planning to mostly relax today. Original plans- trip out to a show and a party - have been declined now especially as DH is still not quite right.

    The dogs will get a bath at some point as they're a little grubby after their week away on holiday.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.
