Rabbit hutch emptied and airing - was dry anyway. Rabbits sunbathing...
Been weeding on the front. Hydrangea is gone...it was awful last year and is half dead. Had to take off my jumper and rollup sleeves and I have caught the sun.

2x WM on again.. incuding mine and Pixies coats.. hers was covered in mud and mine is just grotty.Bedding out on the line with the towels.School cardigans ordered.. I need to check if the summer dresses fit too.. Dot will be fine and Twinkle has new ones DD1 bought last year for DGD who has of course outgrown them without wearing them since there was no school in last years summer term. Another mass hand-me-down session looks likely.Twinkle is banished to bed for a nap after screaming the house down.. no time for THAT!!Dot banished to the bath for some me-time before someone ends up hurt or in the bin.Squeak showered and brushedPixie nerding on Warcraft.. the other 2 being out of the way means she has to think for herself about acivities, something she is not very good at. She tends to just latch on to the others and do whatever they are doing and struggles to find entertinment as an idividual.OH skiving off somewhere...

Can't remember when/what I last posted.
Study now rearranged and currently has nothing on the floor apart from furniture - no boxes, trays, files etc it is on either in the remaining unit, in the desk drawers on the shelves which house the printer. Drum kit to be moved in tomorrow. I won't deny that there are still one or two files which could do with sorting, but at least they all fit on a shelf somewhere. I have even managed to find a slot in the unit for my 2 recycling trays.
Returning to the photo book I had planned to do of the last 3 hols with my Mum. I'm disgusted with myself that it was one of my tasks when the first lockdown happened, and it still isn't finished. Had a look this eve and can't work out how/why/what I had sorted so far. Plus one set photos still vanished; sure I found half a dozen yesterday downloaded from my phone, but I can't even find those now. That photobook really has to be a major priority; had thought of it last year for Mum's birthday, then Cmas, now it's going to be late even for Mother's day.
Moving swiftly on.
Got the cycles out for the first time this year yesterday then went for a run today.
Started sowing seeds and weeding veg beds in preparation for this year's.
Various bits of vacuuming and dusting done. Tidiness not bad; could be better but wouldn't be embarrassed if anyone came round (not that they will).
Yesterday's Zoom teaching went well but I need to write it up tomorrow.Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.11 -
Washing and rabbit hutch had to be dealt with in the dark due to a crisis at the aged P's. Upshot is dad in hospital overnight, heart racing. Not that it matters re hutch as I can't get them in. Brown rabbit ran off and I can't find him, I suspect he's under the shed. White rabbit would go in run, so she's away.
Filing sorted. Files glued. Have ordered new shredder as that one gave up. Having said that I've had it a long time. Washing did dry so is ready to iron.

Morning all
Hope you are all ok. Good day here yesterday, wm x 3 and all pretty much dry on the line, finished it off on the airers overnight, house all clean and tidy, big walk done, bit of garden tidying done. Then we sat and watched the rugby followed by a simple supper so simple clear up.
Today I want to do some batch cooking so I will be starting that soon, veggies to prep to go with roast pork this evening, also need to do more washing and my dailies. May just have a second brew first....
Have a good one all x10 -
Morning all
Hope your dad is okay Valli.
Bright sunny day here, so the kids bedding will be washed. Also need to shuffle money around as all the bills go out tomorrow. Happy Sunday all x10 -
Morning all
Hope Dad is OK Valli. Narco good work on the study.
All is well here, washing is out, DW is on, have had a tidy around. Like ASB I need to do the spreadsheets, we have done well with food shopping this month (mainly because we had so much in our stores) so I should be able to pay a bit more off the cards in March.
Hoping for a nice long walk or cycle ride but waiting for DH to surface.10 -
Morning everyone.
I haven't posted for a few days as I was working.
Very tired today and totally overwhelmed by the house work tbh.
Little ones are currently tidying ds2s room
And I've asked ds2 to make his bed
I'm going to start at the back door and work my way through the house.
I'm hoping to do a skip run today I also need to do a food shop because I didn't the other day and pick up some stuff I bought off fb.
Going to s /s the kitchen and then hopefully that will motivate me to do the restJune 17 £16,000 debt ~ nov 18 DEBT FREE •June 21 £16,308 debt / july 22 debt free •Original mortgage free date 01/06/2059 current mortgage free date 01/05/204611 -
Me again! I've washed up the breakfast dishes, scrubbed the kitchen sink, s&sd the downstairs loo, put away the clothes on the airer, hoovered through the house and done a 15 minute workout. Well a 15 minute warm up but I'm now too exhausted to do the actual workout. Going to have a bath now and get dressed.Spend less now, work less later.10
