Right, Work work is complete. Let's look at the flying list - seems I shall get off lightly.

I will, however, add the following

• Do some ironing
• Wrap sold ebay items ready to take to post office tomorrow.
• Clean fish tanks
• Strip duck meat from carcass and boil up bones for stock for soup for tomorrow nights dinner. Maybe get ahead and prepare it all and do it in the slow cooker tomorrow.
• Fill the bird feeders in between gusts of wind.
• Put breadmaker on

Level 1
Check fire alarms are working
[STRIKE] Remove and wash bed linen and duvet covers.[/STRIKE] Did this on Saturday so refuse to do it again today
[STRIKE] Fling open the window and let in the spring![/STRIKE] If I flung it really wide, the bed covers would be blown off the bed with the strength of the wind at the moment so it's only open a tad!

Level 3
Vacuum floors in bedroom and on landing

Well it's gone, I gave up on those 2 bits of questions, figured it's not worth the stress, but now if I get a result 2 marks under the pass mark I will be kicking myself

Dry on the way home, unlike this morning, I stole DPs waterproof jacket this morning as he rarely leaves the house until work so mine was dry to go and collect him in forward thinking.

Oh and I got the 'wow' at school, when I said to someone I use weekends to do baking so I can study during the week, both parents and grandparents saying 'why don't you just buy it from Tescos'.....bitten my lip and didn't rant about knowing what goes in their food etc and just said I prefer it.

Ds1s come home in a good mood saying he's got a new friend which is rare for him. He finds it really hard to do the whole social thing as do many kids in his class, he was so reliant on adult support (1-1 LSA at old school) when he started the new school that he refused to mix, so it's great to hear him say that.

DPs booked my car in for gas conversion, will save him the most money so he's paying but means it'll cost me half the price almost to go somewhere aswell. Oh and he's just told me he's going to work tonight so I have put the meat for dinner back in the fridge I got out (grrrr) and will do myself bacon and pea risotto when I find kaz's recipe. Think I will stick to my usual days and do the kitchen because the bedrooms more work :rotfl: TD now on with towels, no hope in getting them dry otherwise, washer back on in a mo with cleaning stuff in then darks wash to go in.

Survived the school run and now the reain has stopped - expect it will start again at 4:15 when I have to go and pick up DS2.

Going to do a concentrated 15 minutes in the kitchen to see if I can nearly finish.

Dustykitten

Oh Bellie please give me a link to the thread.

Urgh, think i may have poisoned myself, was cleaning out my fishtank and i have a suction pump thing that is gravity fed, but i couldnt get it going so sucked the water through... Needless to say i got a mouthful of fish water and feel really sick now:eek:

soappie

GandB that's GROSS :eek::eek::eek::eek:

I'm trusting you didn't swallow any - best thing to do would be rinse your mouth out with tepid salty water and then some antibac mouthwash if you have it.

I have a turkey baster that I use to provide the suction to the syphon - I just squeeze the bulb, then put the other end in the syphon tube and then release the bulb - works a treat. And no, I do not use the turkey baster for anything else!

gunsandbanjos

Yup, it was pretty gross:o Not one of my better plans:rolleyes:

Afternoon all,
Back in again this week last wee disappeared from wed onwards as I ended up in bed with a flu type bug, tried to get up and about on sat but ended up doing too much so back to bed then up yesterday when I finally felt human again, been to work today so energy levels low again.

I will stick to my own list initially this week as the house looks like a bomb has hit but as I was int he bedroom for most of last week it seems to have escaped being hit.

Bits for this evening
put dried washing away
iron any washing that needs it
WM x2
evening meal
DW
s&s kitchen
declutter lounge

Okay that it off to make a start will come back later to read the thread and catch up, but hope all who live in the storm warning areas are all okay.
