    :coffee: time!!

    luby where are you? :rotfl:


    Call off the search party - I'm back.

    Well done on your HHC Chasing Butterflies.:T

    I managed to:

    Clear most of the junk from the kitchen
    Wipe the worktops and toaster
    Wipe the window ledges
    Clean the windows in kitchen
    Clear the under the sink cupboard out

    Then littley got hungry so had to feed her - didn't have a clue what, then found a child sized portion of mushroom and roasted red pepper risotto in the freezer. Phew! wish there was enough for me though!

    Off to give littley rest of her banana and put her in bed, then need to mop the kitchen floor - also needs sweeping again! I only did it last night after tea!:mad: Then lunch for me, bath and hairwash, school pick up and IL's for tea.

    Catch you all later.

    Posting first and reading after 'cos it's already afternoon and I'm in the middle of cooking dinner!

    Vacuumed all through downstairs, and vacuumed the stairs. Did one load of washing which I hung up indoors first but I've just put some out because the sun was shining. It's gone in now.....


    Been to the dentist, mostly OK but one filling needs redoing (that's where the sensitive bit was). Back in two weeks or so for that.

    Took dog out for a longer walk and she seems to be doing better, much better than this time last week that's for sure.

    OK, going to try and read some now.


    Happy Birthday Sharon :)

    Nicki teachers outfits - depends on if the school has a dress code or not. I have to say i am more smart/casual, particularly as i have been in maternity wear for the last 3-4 terms i have taught.

    trousers/skirts - i have in a variety of colours. Blacks/greys/browns for winter, lighter weight, usually patterened cotton ones in summer to wear with a one colour top.
    shoes - i usually wear quite flat boots or shoes unless it is parents day, in summer i wear open toed shoes to get a bit of circulation
    tops - jumpers usually in winter as no ironing required ;), shirts/blouses/short sleeved T-shirt type in summer/

    We are not allowed to wear cullote type trousers as they banned them for the kids. I steer away from strappy stuff or anything too low cut as you never know when the boys are trying to peep, and i bend down a lot to talk to kids/see what they are doing in practicals.



    I feel like i am not being mega productive, but i have gone through everything on the desk and binned lots or put in a pile for DH to sort through tonight. A book to send to ILs and DD instructions for DS's child trust fund - i feel a bit cheeky sending that but DH says they might want it. Couple of loads of washing have been sorted. Some paper bits to go back into work which i can take on Thursday when i go to the dentist. I'm starving though now. Might eat the leftover chinese, and then come back to clean the desk properly - lots of dust here. :eek: so i am obviously not a good flylady. Then perhaps go through the rest of the school stuff on the dining table and in the hall so that DH can put it all in the garage for me tonight. At least i am moving different things, and all the areas are highly visible hotspots. ;) So DH will think i have done loads today - well that is why i am going for obvious 1st.

    Michelle, x

    I'm sitting.. look.. :D.. clever me!

    Mudbath.. I'm in the one armed gang today.. my RSI is terrible today so I am strapped right up my left arm so nothing moves.. I have the kitchen floor to finish finding.. I need to play more catch up on the laundry... it is taking over the house .. probably because I had the 5 boxes from the shed to sort through and wash and rehome.. I have got that lot down to 2 boxes noe thanks to freec ycle , charity shop and ebay.. and I found a few bits which now fit little people.. DD3 has about 4 pairs of new trousers which she is delighted with.

    I'll go look for my list from yesterday and try again. ooh while I remember.. parent partnership meeting on Thursday 7-9 and on the 18th there is a meeting at school 1:30pm..

    Sharon happy birthday. If you really must deal with your washer I find cleaning out the filter deals with the smell usually, whilst it is out i squirt a bit of bleach down the drain whole. Then 95 degree wash with soda and vinegar.

    Hex hope you are feeling an incy bit better

    Mudbath really funny about the chopstick, is it Friday you go?

    Lil_me will you be coming back to be nice to us all?

    Right I have 15 minutes until I go so need to wash up brekkie dishes and send a couple of emails.
