:bdaycake: Happy Birthday Michelle :bdaycake:

Sorry haven't been around much lately - me and my computer have both had a virus............

Now I'm feeling a bit brighter, need to get back into a routine.

Today's list:-
Open windows to air
Dust living rooms
Clean mirrors and pics
Clean front door
Clean skirting board in hall and from living room
Put away laundry
HI (HHI won't get close)
Sweep laundry room floor
Sort coats
Change bed
Wash bedclothes

Stuff for work tonight:-

Book and wedding folder - start a wedding checklist
Speak to Mo about cake
H+S stuff - start to read folder
Send email to Russel re: assignment 2
Look about misselling endowments on MSE for Mum

I think that I'm going to have to start some cracking great lists to get me through the next few months - I've got that much up in the air, with the wedding to organise, a H+S qualification to do, sorting out my flippin' family and keeping up with my job/friends/training commitments that I'm feeling breathless and muddleheaded just thinking about them - oh and I need to lose weight but every time I try, I seem to get laid up with some lurgy that stops me from exercising.................*growl*

Pigpen you'll have to use those fluffy mules to get me on the straight and narrow again!

I'm sorry if i've missed out on lots this last few weeks but my head has been spinning and I promise to try harder to keep up with you all

Level One

Vacuum floors and sofas
Wipe and water neglected plants
Dust those flat fluffy surfaces
Level Three

dusty will have to remember that to tell DH later - good one!

lil-me sounds like a pants morning, why is it whenever you rely on someone else you get let down.

Michelle, give them hell honey!!!

I did do a bit of ranting. The actual fitter wasn't at fault. Three of them turned up around 1, and were done by 1:15. It is the shop at fault for giving them 3 jobs to do in one 3 hour slot and not allowing them time to travel between the jobs. As usual, penny pinching when it is not beneficial to the customer.

I've had to reschedule lunch out from 1 to 2:30, which was ok that my friend was able to do that. But i can't see me being around when the other friend turns up after work. Can't do everything.

I wouldn't have been as bothered about them being late if it hadn't meant rearranging the lunch with my friend, but i didn't want to upset her day too much as she has a young baby (4 months) so didn't want her sat in the pub waiting for me at 1.

Oh well, gave me time to run the hoover round where the little carpetty bits were, and i also moved some of the lighter bits like the laundry basket back into that room.

More palava later - we need to move everything out of the back bedroom and DS's room that DH spent an hour moving this morning back into the newly decorated room, so that DH can assemble our bed back in the new room. And at some stage, the wardrobes will have to be finished off in there, so it is still not done.

Only thing left now in DS's new room is to put pictures up, move his fire engine bed and wardrobes in there, and it will be good to go. And i wonder why i feel stressed. DH just takes it all in his stride but it really winds me up redoing things time and time again.

Right, going to take a couple of things out of the car now so i can go and meet my mate. See you all tonight, when i can garauntee i will be knackered and happy to see you all.

Michelle, x

Argos - we'll collect the chair (that snapped in 3 places) between 7am and 1pm, noone here yet! Time to yell!! Well I will when they answer the phone, been on hold 12 minutes so far. Michelle you are so right, can't rely on anyone.

DP suggesting Metro Centre as we need another chair (refused replacement after this one snapped) pay cheques into bank (hoping they are accepted as one for a few £ is over 6 month old) , more paper, more folders, trousers for DS1, collar for one woofer and many other things, can't leave the house until I have spoken to flaming Argos, wonder if we can take it back to the shop...

LG sorry to hear you've been feeling unwell, run, before pigpen gets you with those mules... :rotfl:

Those with paperwork issues, spend between 5 and 15 minutes every day, work out a system (I have several files, filing cabinet, a 2 drawer thing for 'to be filed/to be dealt with then every January I file away the year paperwork) and I am sure you'll have it cleared in no time.

Can anyone tell me - do we have a month off council tax this month. Noticed council tax DD not gone - usually goes on 1st. Maybe I'm £128 richer this month? Here's hoping!

pigpen

I'm in for the HHC.. see if I can find this kitchen.. it is gross.. then I'll tackle the front room.. maybe.. if I can get through the back room!!
