    Hopefully, if I get on top of everything this week, it won't take so much to keep up to it:confused:

    That was my plan although I'm not doing awfully well at the moment - we all go back on Thursday and I haven't done half of the jobs I wanted to!

    Right, HHC in my room 1pm to 1.30pm, because I've not done much at all in there. See what I can get done. Might be able to get up in the middle of the night with DS2 without needing a torch :rotfl: :o

    Just about to run outside as they are doing a fly past here at work!

    Just finished polishing and vacuuming. I'm going to attempt HHI before picking the kids up.

    Need to think of a nice recipe for the salmon fillets I got out of the freezer yesterday.

    Any suggestions?
    Twins, twice the laughs, twice the fun, twice the mess!:j:j
  • I am still sorting the fiddly bits up there - although I am almost ready to hoover :j

    Phone and doorbell went at the same time so just spoke to dad and kids and unpacked lakeland order - although managed to order wrong size jars - silly mare that I am... don't know if to keep them or swap. Maybe I will just make the lemon and lime marmalde and see if I have enough jars left in the cupboard if not I will keep - otherwise they can go back... lot of faf for a silly mistake :rolleyes:

    I need to leave early tomorrow so I am going to give myself an hour upstairs - starting when I finish coffee.... off to print my proper lists... catch you all soon (when hopefully I san say I have finished this PITA room!)

    The shopping has been delivered and put away - only one broken egg this time, but that's a result as you get the whole lot refunded ;)

    All the washing dried, folded and put away and I've washed the throws and they are out on the line.

    Cut the grass back and front and cooked the dinner.

    Tired now. Off to watch Neighbours.

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Oh pigpen I was pants at my list yesterday:confused: . Iwas doing sooo well until I got to the bit where I had to clear my beadies off the kitchen table, then found beading instead, and made two fabulous necklaces :rolleyes: (which I can't figure out how to upload to show), and my house is still a pigsty. Am off to stand in the corner and hang my head in shame:rotfl: . Notice not to finish yesterdays list. leagueoflight_haha.gif
