Me letting the side down again!

Right I am out of here to go to MIL to discuss inquest dates, wish me luck

I'm up for 30 minutes. Cleared my desk so will do two of the boxes. I am sure AnW'sMum is in!!

Dustykitten

Box 1 sorted!

I've got all DSs pressies wrapped. Everything on list done and a few extra things besides. Children going to grandma's for tea which will give me a couple of hours to go through some paperwork.

Dusty...aren't we good! I'm making the most of this as i'm normally the one who is being strangled by her halo somewhere at the back!

Oh and did anyone else know that if you clean your windows you can actually see what's outside....how cool is that!

Dustykitten

Doing really really well. 2 boxes emptied and started the third. Really sad I have to go into school to help this afternoon as if I stuck to it I'd get it done. Have swimming (new later time) today so buy the time I get back to sorting it will be 8:00 and I will have lost the will I know.

Oh well I could carry on tomorrow rather than sort my wardrobe which will only be depressing anyhow.

Lunch now and a bit of the paperwork I have spread over the dining table.

Just going to take monkey to nursery, then will hopefully get the place tidied up. :rolleyes:

Got quite a bit done but took longer than the 30 mins

Today's list

[strike]Vacuum hall stairs and landing (living room done yesterday)
Dust LR
Dust hallway
Wipe bannisters and skirting in hall

[/strike]Extras

[strike]Clean landing window
Clean hall mirrors
[/strike]Some of the ironing? Am I feeling brave?
Shower and wash hair after cleaning - I feel manky
Go to bank to put capital check in
Specsavers to choose my new galsses
Put OH OT check in Lloyds
Asda for some bits
Look for new work shoes (blurgghhh! Hate shoe shopping!)
Be back at home by 1700 for window measuring apt

Nic has left me a message to say that she's feeling a bit more like herself so think I'll reward myself with a quick chat about the new baby before I start on the ironing - just postponing slightly - I will still do it promise

Pollybear

Well, I'm here but no sign of any motivation.

I cleaned the living room yesterday so I've just tidied and vacuumed today. Did the hallway on the way to the kitchen which I had to vacuum because we had haircuts this morning.

Forgot the stairs, will do them tomorrow.

Shopping delivered and all put away. I ordered 6 loaves of bread (I get shopping fortnightly) and they substituted with 3. I refuse to believe that Asda only had 3 loaves of bread. Idiots.

Am feeling grumpy now. I was already grumpy but the Asda thing didn't help.

Oh and I've done a load of washing and draped it round indoors. Keeps raining on and off and I can't face running in and out to fetch it back in.

I had a letter from my credit card people telling me my payment was overdue:o . Now i'm usually very good but with xmas i think i must have overlooked it.:rolleyes: . So i phoned them up and after shouting at an automated phone line for 10 minutes i got through to a real person who told me i couldn't pay the full balance off just the minimum payment !!!!!! is that all about. She told me i'm going to have to phone in 48 hours to pay the rest off. :rolleyes: . It makes no sense to me at all.
