I have achieved nothing other than updating my calendar and talking on the phone for 3 hours to various people!

Going to do an hour now and try to get the kitchen finished and the hoovering done

I've got the munchies today - think i'll scoff my lunch early then do all the out-of-the-house tasks in one glut

Um, now what to chomp?.............

Not done any flying yet, just back from town via the doctors for LO's Jab. Got new shoes(in the sale:D ) for LO, and a dinosaur book for being so good at the doctors.
Just had ice cream, yum. Lidl bourbon vanilla ice cream is fab. Beautiful day here. Should probably go start tidying:rolleyes:

right.. 2 hours on the phone.. another meeting booked *sigh*.. oh to be in demand.. how on earth do people find time to go out of the house to work??? I have got 3 days off in the next 3 weeks!!!!!!! Tomorrow then the 14th and 15th May!! Filled out Mimi's pi$$ chart for the school nurse.. it asks how many dry nights she has had in 2 weeks!! In 2 years she has only had about 5!!! This is going to be a waste of time.. but I need some financial help with her nappies and bedding etc so onwards we go!!!

I have to go get the grubs in 20 minutes so I'm going to sit outside in the sun with a cuopa and a sudoku book.. and the vacuuming can go to hell!!!

I'll have the children do it when they get in.. they don't do a fabulous job but it gets done!

luby-lou

Well slap my legs Pigpen cos I've done nothing today!!!!!!!:eek:

Going to do a HHC and get as much done in the lounge as possible from now til school run time.

Off I go.......

pigpen

2 lots of laundry now on the line. the phone rang again while I was hanging it out.. so I ignored it.. if it is important they'll call back I reckon!!

Need to load the DW and BM as well..

I might get a job.. at least I'd have some time off!!

I think I've done very well today, lunch has been scoffed & I'm doing nothing else all day apart from dinner tonight & dishes before bed. Oh & stick another couple of things on eBay.
Looks like it's brightening up now, so hopefully I can go for my run later.

The filter in the fish tank seems to have stopped working, I wonder if the builder blew it when he switched off the power. I have no idea how to fix it! :eek: I will leave it til tomorrow, might need a trip to the fish shop.

I like the the idea of the 3 levels, i've thought about joining before but then been put off as i didn't think i'd be motivated enough to do it. this seems much more manageable, so thank-you!
when will the list be added for tomorrow (wednesday), tonight? or in the morning?
also how do i cross items off my list on the screen?
thanks

Washing line full and DS2's quilt washed and going to be put near the fire to dry. School rang at dinnertime DD not well so lifted her and thought stuff it i'll lift DS1 as well, he was only staying for homework club anyway and it would save me another trip to the school. Getting on well with the kitchen.
