Dogs walked, letter posted, dailies done and I flicked the duster on a stick round the living room. Oh, and quickly hoovered round.

Wrap-wrap wrap-wrap wrap-wrapping, Wrap a million gifts for everyone but meeeeeeeeeeee

Shower and clothes first though I think.. and a cuppa.. and maybe food.. and kick Squeak to work.. and leave Twinkle playing on the xbox.. she is feeling well enough to play games this morning! Still coughing up a lung.

OH told school Twinkle was still not well so won't be in school still and they asked for proof she doesn't have the plague.. however.. this woman is the start of the outbreak of the 'rona in school with her oldest child (in Dots class) and only kept her children off 5 days.. mine has been off 10 days so far so they can swivel.. I would rather she had the 'rona if hers are well enough to be back at school so soon and mine is not!! This womans husband kept working in the nursery and her other child went to school to spread it more and she thinks she can demand evidence my child does not have something when she isn't at school anyway.. she can take a long walk off a short pier while dancing pirouettes ... She shouldn't be working in a school anyway, I've called her 'News of the World' for years for her gossiping..

I'm in with vengence this week.  This week is going to be getting last bits of presents bought and wrapped, everything bought so far is wrapped. And also getting this house cleaned up a bit.

I've invited a friend for coffee tomorrow so that will make me do the floors before she arrives, they place is tidy but needs a good hoover and ideally a mop through. 

I might have to dig out my room by room cleaning lists and join the green ticking brigade if there's room.

So far today
Bags from weekend unpacked and put away
Kitchen & DW sorted
WM  x 2
Phone call made
Some work stuff culled.
Lunch sorted (ready to cook) (Not grande cuisine, smoked mackerel on toast with a poached egg)
Ironing all done, basket empty

See you all later

Cats sorted.  I have 2 cat flaps cat 2 has managed the internal one but cats 1 and 3 haven't so had it propped open, I have now opened the outer flap from conservatory to garden, cat 2 is loving it, he keeps hopping in and out, and has just set off on an adventure across the grass but he is very nervous about it, progress.

Morning all (Just!)

Thank you for the lists. Our weekend was nice but has left me with absolutely loads of housework to do, and my anxiety is through the roof. DS had a bad couple of days at school last week, and hit someone in error playing footie - but no-one believes him and he is very very sensitive so was angry and upset at not being believed. Ths manifested itself into a very cross couple of days, then the school phoned me and I was cross with them for not believing him (I know my boy and when he is fibbing and when he is not).... anyway it all got a bit much and I spent the weekend feeling very unsettled. Did my bi-annual "shall I home educate him" chat with myself, didn't draw any conclusions, but remain cross. 

Lots of laundry on the go, the doormat is currently in. I have lit the fire to try and dry some of the washing that is over the airer. I showered the dog yesterday and she smells of wet dog still, so I am hoping she will lay by it and dry off properly. 

Presents have been ordered (everyone is getting books), food shop booked and general picking up/putting away done.

Lots of love to you all xx

I can quite see how tempting that tree would be for three kittens that were looking for a bit of mischief.

My last week's urgent personal listie is finally finished, and the last task was to write the Flylady Christmas cards.  I've literally just finished writing the last one, so I'm going to sweep the front steps and then take them down to the post office. I'm sorry if they've held everything up, Natty, but they should be with you by Thursday at the latest.  My writing deteriorated while I was working on them so I'm sorry about that if they're illegible.

Loving the photos.
 I started tidying unit in our bedroom that houses all toiletries and similar so everything is all over the bed. I stopped to go to the vet and to see DGD2.  Now back, so I'll have to carry on with that.  I'm intending to use some of my stash to have a bit of a pamper afternoon/ evening.
