    Thats me done for now, need to get DS2 ready and find hubby to get him into a hospital appointment. Will do the rest later.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Front grass cut, edged and path swept. Gave the living room a proper polish then vacuumed right through downstairs and did the stairs too. Washing is nearly dry, another hour and I should be able to get that in and put it away.

    Sat outside and finished my book (does that count as flying?)

    One more phone call to make to chase DS2's blood results and I'm done for today..

    I'm gradually getting through the list but I always seem to choose to do the things that take ages rather than the wiping and sweeping which take no time at all but would mean I could cross off half the blooming list!..

    right 5 minutes for a speedy cuppa and a pee then I'll hit off on the next HHC.. the wiping down in the kitchen I think.. I need to empty the DW again too..

    Pollybear, I'd say it counts as flying, especially if it was on a list of things to do..
    HHC I S&S'd the livingroom and rounded up all the things to be filed/rehomed/binned. I also took down two of the curtains and bunged them in the WM. Its sunny and breezy here today so I might make the most of it and get some of the hacking and chopping done in the garden.
    Back later on.

    Only just got back as we ended up in the garden so i spent some time playing with ds1/pushing him on the swing until my hayfever told me it was time to come in. Dinner now just in cooking, and then we will eat it and then hopefully nap time for ds1.



    1) [STRIKE]list 5 books on amazon (i'll then have 16 things on there - sold 2 in past 2 weeks)[/STRIKE]
    2) meal plan for the week
    3) [STRIKE]put recycling outside[/STRIKE]
    4) half an hour sorting in the spare room - put maternity clothes i washed yesterday in box for loft, do a bit more ironing/putting away
    5) [STRIKE]clean the outside of the kitchen door window.[/STRIKE]
    6) file paperwork sorted on saturday
    7) find out ds2s birth certificate to open his bank account tomorrow
    8) chicken fajhitas for dinner :D


    extras:
    • cleaned outside of patio doors
    • cleaned uPVC on back door and patio doors
    • spent about 20 minutes weeding in the back garden
    none of it done perfectly, but all of it looking better than it did so that is a result as far as i am concerned. ;) Just going to check how the rest of you got on, then loo trip before lunch.
