Tomorrows list is up.. so you can get a head start after dinner tonight!

Yeah like that's gunna happen :rolleyes: gotta change out of my muddy dog walking clothes, then on with dinner! Spag bol I think! Coming back I was tempted to nip to the fish & chip shop, but luckily for my diet & money saving, it was closed.

Gah! need to empty TD and fold it ready for ironing tomorrow(ish). I'll do that while mince is browning.

I hate packaging up ebay stuff... it is my least afvourite part.. th elisting is ok even.. I know it takes ages but if you can only be bothered to do one thing that's ok.. but I have to get all these things out ASAP and it is so BORING.. and I have completely trashed my back room! So much for tidying the 'study' todya!! :eek:

DS1 has an allergic reaction to something but we have no idea what so unless it is really severe again next time they won't do anything.. but he has a large bottle of antihistamines.

Raphael.. the ironing is on tomorrows list.. I knew you would have that to do lol

Hiya busy lot,
Chuffed that I had this morning to do today's list. Not so chuffed about going to the hygienist, my gums are sore but, wow are my teeth sparkly!
Hope all the big and littlies with rashes, swollen faces and dodgy tums recover quickly. Never considered bananas as a dodgy thing.. mushrooms and onions are fun. Not.
Going to get an early tea and see if I fancy tackling 2 rooms in one day afterwards. Or I may just read my new book. Hum ha hum ha..
Serena! Good luck and enjoy tomorrow!

Blowing up balloons? Kissing a cat? Heavy use of airfreshener/plug in? Budgie droppings/feathers? Aftershave? Seriously, I've seen all of those and the face becomes red and swollen if you don't get away from it fast enough. Hope you get to the bottom of it.

and with 200 posts to catch up on.

Ok I slipped in yesterday to get the list as wanted to make a start as need to paint some more today, so haven't caught up on any of the posts yet so a big hello to anyone until i can read (scan!) the posts.

List so far with stuff deleted I'm not doing this week

[/STRIKE]Level Two
[STRIKE]Clean baths, toilets, don't forget under the rim! and sinks
Clear any clutter from desk
Dust PC and desk and wipe off those cup rings!!
Wipe keyboard, house phone, sockets, switches and mouse etc[/STRIKE]
Level Three
[STRIKE]Wash your bathroom mats, nets, clean blind/curtains etc
Wipe down tiles in bathroom.. [/STRIKE]defragment your pc while doing this - his job
[STRIKE]Empty and clean out all the upstairs bins! (the proper bins not the rooms that look like bins!)[/STRIKE]

Extra mission: Pick whichever you want to attempt:

Clean cupboard door fronts and fronts of appliances .. don't forget those kick boards..
Check those washing machine filters and drawers for ickiness!! Tumble dryer and dishwasher filters need to be done too!!
Extra Mission
Choose one or more of:

• Clean oven if it really needs it.. or just do the hob.. mines gross.. you need to shame me into cleaning it!
• HHI .. bit of a catch up!!
• Write an inventory of your cupboards contents and what needs using first - got one but needs updating but its sooooo long
• Empty the cutlery drawer.. clean it out, wash the cutlery tray, chuck those baby spoons you don't use any more.. how many medicine spoons do you actually need? get rid of everything you don't use and make the drawer look nice again! - these need doing 3 drawers in dining room and 2 in kitchen :eek:

Pigpen, I had an allergic reaction just after Chrimbo when they told me it was just a virus that went with the cold I had at the time and reluctant to believe that old chestnut, I have to say when the cold cleared so did the hives and itching

Catch ya all later

I hope all poorly children and flyers are feeling better soon. Especially gunsandbanjos, pigpen's DS1, play2day and anyone I have forgotten. I have a brain like a goldfish, read something and forget it immediately. So, apologies if I have forgotten you but at least know it's not personal. I couldn't remember the name for ice cream yesterday!!

:jAfter my cleaning spree this morning I went to the gym. Couldn't do anything this afternoon, absolutely shattered. DD has started on kitchen so hopefully we can get other things done tomorrow. DS2 has rung to say he is giving up uni and will be back home soon. I will never get shot of them at this rate. I did get down to two at home for a while. No. only joking really.

raphael, just fold it carefully and leave for a few days, won't need ironing. I haven't done any ironing now for 17 years:j:j:jI've got it in writing from my physio...no ironing.

mumoftwo, that is an amazing amount of flying.

serena, good luck for tomorrow. My happiest days teaching were when the kids were toddlers and I did supply. I loved it. Teaching but without all the other responsibilities. I did nine years of supply. I am sure you will really enjoy it too.

mudbath ten minutes seems plenty to me. As a teacher I have to admit that I never helped any of my kids. (We did reading every night, I have just remembered)
.I just reckoned they had done enough at school and so had I. At least they got all their exams etc without Mum or Dad's help so they can feel proud. Or in the case of DS3, who didn't pass his !!!, it helped him find out what he wants to do.
Maybe don't follow my advice as I have two uni drop outs at present out of my brood.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I have to laugh or I might........

Dagnabbit!!!


Well dinner munched, clean washing folded, dishes piled in the sink glaring at me, doggy happily shredding a pair of old socks I've given her.

I'm just waiting for Harry Hill to start. Might try and tackle the 'Dragon fruit' I bought today. Never eaten it before, not sure how to eat it!! Should be fun!

pigpen

Solway.. we think it is something he ate.. possibly a new ingredient in my dads curry.. we simply don't know. I hope it is causing him lots of discomfort though.. gggrrrrrr
