pigpen - is it the bathroom tomorrow? i've got a house full after school so there's no way i can sit and do nothing. thought i could cheat and get on with tomorrow's list.
do you think i'd be daft climbing into the attic to start sorting stuff out in there? we've got a proper ladder so i should be able to get up with one hand????

Gosh - today has flown - literally. I think DH will be pleased. There are now 2 boxes sealed to go in the garage of school stuff. Also, the laptop is happy to go back to work now i have deleted my bits from it and copied them to my external hard drive. I have about 40 minutes till leaving to pick DS up, so i think:
loo
wash up
tackle last boxes
I would like to be a bit further on but i am not wonder woman, and rome wasn't built in a day. 7 more days of DS full time nursery, and i can see me making it.
Well done to those of you having a successful day flying.
Michelle, x0 -

Isn't it lovely NOT to have a headache after ten days with one? I feel so much better today, I have even just ran to school to collect DS1 - yesterday I couldn't have walked there. I have been to work today so nothing done yet. Work again tomorrow but home on Friday so I think I will have a big catch up clean then, and work through to at least level 1 in each room.
Hugs to all in need, and congrats on the job Moo2Moo.'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0
