  • Have had very poorly DS all weekend, and he's going to miss his first day back at school tomorrow at least. He's getting better but still has no oomph at all, and is a fetching shade of white with pink edges!

    So instead of heading out to work I'll be home tomorrow and maybe Tuesday - so as well as nursemaid duties I intend to have a concentrated fly around some of those things I struggle to fit in around my job. DS can colour or whatever on the table whilst I
    • Hoover well all through.

    • Finalise DH's return and submit (done it today but have learnt the hard way to leave for 24 hours and review before sending!)

    • Letter for DH's PAYE save stuff

    • Sort out washing machine warranty
    • Sort out school stuff for Tuesday (fingers crossed)
    That'll do for now

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Taurusgb - you've reminded me that I need to get a new passport. We're not going away till August but I really, really need to put things in motion now or i'll forget. One of my jobs tomorrow is to get a passport form. So, tomorrow;

    1) level 3
    2) business banking
    3) children's banking
    4) 3 x christmas presents (book tokens)
    5) pick up passport form
    6) clean windows in kitchen and dining room.

    I was going to sack the window cleaner this week, then I realised if I just cleaned the inside of the windows they would actually look clean!

    I really didn't want the children to go back to school until today. I should be pleased that today is the first day they drove each other mad but i'm so not used to them arguing I wanted to kill them! Little dears xx

    :D Nice to see some new faces, aswell as the old ones of course.
    I'm definately in and tomorrow being the first day back at school :j will be 'trying to get the house back to normal' day, well the first day of it as it might take a while :rolleyes: the Christmas bag is in the dining room waiting to be found a home and this will be the first job, maybe try DPs theory that it'll fit in the loft (I don't think it will :p )

    Car is half filled to go to the tip, yak, it stinks, so will air it out after the tip runs are done. Need to try to squeeze the tree in aswell, then we'll need to do another trip after that with cardboard and more rubbish! I hate the council for not emptying my bin :mad:

    I need to get the conservatory checked over completely, pull all the furniture out (desk, 2 sofas, filing cabinet, 3 book cases...lots !) Will have to vax the carpet and make sure no more icky mould anywhere. Oh and while the vax is out clean up where my mother dearest must have stomped in mud then all over the cream carpet in the hall!!!!!

    Then I'll crack on with the kitchen and dining room.......:( Hmmm there is a thought, I could start the oven etc off while I am working on the conservatory......I think I need to write myself a list tonight.

    I'm looking forward to the boys being back to school, they need it because they are sick of the sight of each other now and starting to get very violent with each other, I'm just not looking forward to the morning mad dash!

    Time to get the uniforms out ready for in the morning and clean DS2s school shoes which he wore instead of his wellies today and got them covered in mud :rolleyes:
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
