  • Well all was going well and i was planning on cleaning the floor tonight but............


    Ds noticed a small (Hee hee) amount of foam coming out of the washing machine so have spent the last 10 minutes tidying that up!! Followed an idea on a thread on MSE on how to clean your machine. Don't think i will try that again.

    Anyway i do have one very clean floor now :D:D

    Ok, money spent, food bought and put away, gonna make a brew then get cracking on the list. I had to mail lovefilm to tell them one of their dvd's hadn't turned up, DD1 told me after the fact that it had, none of them bothered to tell me mind :rolleyes: so need to sort that out again now and here I was being all organised! My new electric key doesn't work either so that's something else to sort out too lol thank goodness it's sunny.

    maralum Freya's very cute.
    shell glad your DD's are getting better, good luck with your driving lesson.

    I love kitchen day, mainly because it gets everything wiped when I S&S so it rarely becomes too much work :j bathroom day however is my least favourite, they're my least favourite at work too lol

    Brews for those that need/want one.

  • Hi everyone,

    I'm in this week. I haven't flown for a while as my daughter was born in November but now we are into a routine with her so I want to get back into flying as I really miss it (as does the house!!) Hope everyone is well.

    Started off really well and now just put little one down for her nap so grabbed a quick coffee! Must stay motivated and not spend the rest of the morning browsing the site! :o

    Welcome to the new flyers and of course those returning, usually happens this time of year after the Christmas slip.....sure you'll all be back on track in no time.

    Bluish sky here, weird seeing washing on the line, I just walked into it when I went to do my garden 'thing' :o not used to it. I am sky watching just incase. Hoping the line doesn't fall down as it looks old. I think I will get DP to replace it at some point (or I could try on a ladder) could do with one of those roundabout airers but it's where, where it's sunny the kids play.......

    Groomed Megs, dyson box full of hair every day I am sure she's going to end up bald. Found the boys have helped themselves to pop when her hair stuck to the floor, ewwwww! SO I scrubbed it with a cloth on my foot because I am too lazy to get on my hands and knees :p

    Right, HHC in DS1s room, time to fill more bags for the tip while he isn't in :D then I'll go to the tip after lunch, 11.30-12 HHC before lunch anyone?

    **Edit to save reposting to myself, guess you are all busy** 2 BIN SACKS FULL!!!! Between DS1,DS2 and my room
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Definately having a 'worse before it gets better' type day. Been at the kitchen for about 2 hrs now and it doesnt look like i've done much. I've been deep cleaning it though rather than surfacy type things.

    How can it be lunch time already! The day is running out on me! Had to come back on to look at list coz my computer wouldn't print this morning - how dare it. Loads still to do but am having my reflexology swap at one so i'll have to sit still for an hour which will do me the world of good.

    Right, need to sort out football and badminton kit for DS and DD tonight. Now where are those footy socks! xx
