arwenelf - mmm, not sure if guinea pig poop is very nutritous for a 15 month old!!! gpigs are full of character though aren't they.

jill - a few of my clients had cracked heals. once the skin dries it won't rehydrate so lots of pumicing and then at night put cream on with plastic bags over your feet and wrap the lot in a towel. don't forget you've done it though if you get up of you might slip. might be best if you did it in the evening for an hour. if there's no improvement then a podiatrist.

i'm off to get dressed and start flying. everyone arrives home at about 4 so also need some 'me' time before they get back.

soappie - agent squirrel will try and take another snapshot today and see what happens.

have a good day xx

Really can't get going this morning. Have spent the last 2 hours on the pc and thats not very productive is it?

Have put two postings on freecycle so hopefully that may mean a little less clutter around.
Jobs:
Put washing in dryer
Put another load in WM
Clear what kitchen surfaces are left!
Tidy livingroom
Take some clothes upstairs
Do some school work, which may take some time - see here

Me too!:o

Going to have bath now with DD so I can make sure DD's hair is 'clear' before she goes top the hairdressers!

I have lost 4lb since 2 days ago but may put it back on as I scoffed a pack of jammie dodgers and a big bag of malteasers yesterday. Then again, I ate those and a bowl of chicken noodle soup and that was it all day. Doubt it will stay off it's probably water retention or something. Which reminds me, I need more magnesiumn tablets.

I'm going to work on my own list today, I feel better than yesterday but still pretty choked up. But it's now a productive cough so shouldn't be long in shifting. DS2 has nursery today too! Yipee!!!!

Hoover stairs
Clean beside the PC desk
Print off form and post
Print off some photos for the photoframe
Clean bathroom, especially round the loo for the OT tomorrow
Washing, washing and more washing
Really think about Birthdays this month

Killer Kitchen - Monday
Level One
Clear and wipe work surfaces Done
Clear the window sills (*rofl* not likely!!) Done
Level Two
Sweep and Mop the floor
Wipe the cupboards, appliances and all those manky corners!! Done
Take down and clean the lightshades. Inpossible - funny halogen spots
Level Three
Clear and wipe the tops of the wall units... not you porky pregnant people though.. I know you are so keen! That means I'm excluded from duties
Wipe over all those small appliances.. don't forget the inside of the microwave!
Wipe out the gicky parts of the fridge and have a quick check for what needs restocking.. I have locusts off school!!
Extras

• Clean oven/hob if you must.. *rolls eyes*
• HHI ..
• Clean windows Half done - the other one gets done today!
  
• treat the pets for fleas!!! This is prime time for them to be developing an infestation.. the last thing you need in your house! .. left on in case you were lazy like me and missed this! Haven't bought the stuff
  
• Go play a game with the children who have helped you today!! I'll eat a chocolate bar - he'll like that :rotfl:
  

Childrens list.

1. Clear and wipe the table Done
   
2. Load the dishwasher (DW) if you have one Done
   
3. Can you fill the washing machine (WM) with things that are all the same colour and switch it on?? This is a very important thing to learn.. many big clever daddies struggle with this job.. even our daddy.. so if you can do this.. you are cleverer than him!
4. If you are a bigger little person could you wipe over the fronts of the kitchen cupboards and fridge/freezer/washing machine.. sometimes you need to check the insides too as they get a bit sticky..

I didn't do as well as I'd like to have done yesterday...my washing machine broke!!! Trusty mum came over to poke about with it and it's all working now, so I can fly twice as fast today I'm not going to be joining in with today's list - the room in question is full of lots of heavy things I can't move on my own. Instead, I'll just potter about and make a start on general clutter.

Think the flea treatment for the cat should be included in my grocery challenge??
