    LG, I will join you for those HHC, I have done nowt but go back to bed for a snooze.

    Pigpen, SSL, I'm ok, just having a wobbly I think. Had a nice bath, de-fuzz, slapped on dove faketan/bodylotion stuff had a good shag, feel loads better today... bit tearful to be honest. But I have been eating crap the past week so that's probably all it is.

    OK, I'm starting early before I loose enthusiasm.

    my todo list

    Put washing away
    Clear the corner in the kitchen
    Clean kitchen cupboards
    Bleach kitchen units
    Clean sink
    Clean window and doors
    Hoover and mop floors
    Clean sofas
    Moisturise sofas
    Hoover stairs
    Tidy PC desk
    Shred-a-thon

    Luby lou - well done on the 10k!
    hollyh - the gel seat thing really helps, well sort of. I got one, and now my fat little legs don't quite reach the floor which isn't great when you have a small boy wobbling about on the back....
    serena - I like the sound of the astrantias. Had to take the euphorbias out here - too many animals and children. I don't have huge problem with the cats and their yucky habits, it is more the stupid dogs snapping things and leaving yucky trails, and the chickens who rip everything up, and the small boys who think making mudpies in the middle of a border is a good thing.

    This week I need to follow the list every day, and do a level three plus extras. I am determined that I will not end up doing everything on Friday. I am £300 in credit with nursery (chilcare vouchers so they cant refund it) so I am really tempted to just put DS2 in for an extra day so I can get on. He does hate going though, and he isn't actually that much trouble. Apart from when he uses his own wee from the potty to mix up watercolour paints to change James into Edward like last night.......

    Right, Kitchen and pantry it is. Kick me if you see the green light on before 2pm please.

    Just seeing what I still have to do:

    Magnificent Monday - Kitchen of Kreation
    Level Three
    Sweep and mop the floor
    Empty out a grotspot and make it beautiful
    Extras

    1. Sort DS3 odds and end tray
    Dusty's List

    Plant out onions
    Plant out eurph and camassias
    Ski stuff for DS1 friend looking some stuff out
    prepare ebay sales x1 for Thursday one item given to my sis
    clubcard deals
    Find centre parcs packing list
    Check kids shoes 2 done

    Town
    collect M&S troussers
    Get DS1 hair cut
    Jam

    Think I'll do a quick list and pop to Tesco to use a few coupons and do our recycling. Might then have time to plant a couple of bits out when I get back (if it is warmer).

    Got soup cooking in the AGA and want to make a cake when I get back.

    [STRIKE]
    Dishes
    Clean door tray thingy in fridge
    WM load on
    Dry and put away dishes
    Clear the corner in the kitchen
    Clean kitchen cupboards
    Bleach kitchen units
    Clean sink

    [/STRIKE]

    A good HHC I think. Also took DS2 to the toilet during all that.

    He has a sticker chart in the toilet and it's working great. He also has a bare botty and just a t shirt on. He doesn't know when he needs a pee so I have been taking him up every hour, he then washes his hands and gets a sticker on his chart. So far it's going quite well.

    DH coming home for lunch soon so best think of food for us.

    Then will do the rest of my list after I collect DS1.

    Put washing away
    Clean window and doors
    Hoover and mop floors
    Clean sofas
    Moisturise sofas
    Hoover stairs
    Tidy PC desk
    Shred-a-thon

    Doesnt dougierobino live near you? Or is my English geography getting worse instead of better? ;)


    Sorry, may have mislead! I escaped ;) over the border to West Yorks some years ago but I did live in the Hull vicinity between the ages of 8 and 18. OH grew up in the East Riding too. And we are frequent visitors - all dd's grandparents still live there and various other relations. Some say we should just move back rather than keep wearing out the M62...
