Evening all!

Well, my exam couldn't have gone better. I managed to answer every question and didn't really guess anything. I was typing (coz I still can't write for long) up until ten minutes before then end. The practical went well too and everyone had a laugh at my practical without a body!!! I looked a bit like an air stewardess showing the exits!!!

I've haven't caught up with the thread yet but will have a read after i've done a bit more revision for tomorrow. All over tomorrow!!!

Speak later xx

Seems like everyone has had a productive day. Wine all round I think - I've just opened a bottle.

Lil-me - glad your meeting went well
Mudbath - glad the exam went well

Have had a good play around on my wii fit - some of it is quite difficult but it says my wii fit age is 34 (I'm 36 so quite pleased about that)
Looks like I've got an easy day tomorrow cause I did the living room yesterday. Suppose I'll have to do some website work instead.
Have a good evening

*JoJo*

Evening everyone...

Hope you all enjoyed the weekend; why does it always seem to fly by?! DH works away during the week so weekends are really precious. Following "Flylady" has allowed us to have more time together as a family, rather than racing around all weekend, trying to catch up on things Been pretty busy today and here is what I hope to get done tomorrow:

1) Start filling out new academic year diary (DD starts "Big" school in September and important dates are being given already. She is the first to start school; I am sure she will love it and be toatally fine, but I am finding it all very traumatic! Where have 4 years gone?!)

2) Sort through my toiletries basket in bathroom

3) Use bananas up and make banana muffins with dd and ds

4) Get all the library books ready to take back

+ my dailies

Hope you all have a nice evening and a good day tomorrow x

Well i didn't get much further unfortunately, i put DS1 to bed at 2:15 not long after i settled ds2, and by the time i had washed up and made a cuppa, ds2 stirred, and he hasn't really settled since. I hope that doesn't mean we are in for a rough night as DH has to be at work for 7, and i need to leave the house at 8ish for the nursery run. I haven't got too much space for error as i have to be at the bank for my appointment by 10am.





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) [STRIKE]chicken fajhitas for dinner [/STRIKE]


extras:

• cleaned outside of patio doors
• cleaned uPVC on back door and patio doors
• spent about 20 minutes weeding in the back garden
• washed all breakie and lunch dishes
• did a s and s of the inside of the oven - most of it is ok, apart from the glass in the door - would have spent longer scrubbing but that is when ds2 woke up and started.

tia/pigpen/lil-me hearing you talk about using cutlery brings it home to me what you have to go through for your boys to make progress. I take far too much for granted, and it made me appreciate you guys even more for reminding me to be thankful

jamie hope you haven't lost too much in the freezer fiasco

bonzi you have been quiet today - i hope things are a bit calmer and you are making progress

soappie you did good there - multi-talented. What an improvement when most people would have thrown that out

mudbath glad your exam went well - how did your DD do?

Right, best do a bit more sorting so the morning can run a bit smoother.


Michelle, x

   So the inside of my fridge is now sparkly clean and not PINK. A jar of beetroot somehow exploded in it about 3 weeks ago:o. All the washing and ironing is up to date. I baked a zillion cookies and a banana cake.
   We took DD to the park to practice riding her bike. Where my very ferocious 4 month old puppy :rolleyes: went up to a King Charles Spaniel, who was twice the size of my pup, to say hello. The KCS completly freaked out and jumped in the lake to screams of horror from it's owner :rotfl::rotfl: :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
   
   DH is just on his way to bed so I'll finish off the last few bits on the list. Check back here when they're done and then try to catch up on Eastenders before bed.

Hi

I'm quite pleased with my progress today. I also managed an hour sat in the garden reading my book whilst Ds2 played. I was going to do some much needed weeding but couldn't be faffed. I have also been to Tesco where OH had to drag me away from the reduced section:mad: i was going to wait until the nice man had finished reducing everything right down but he wouldn't let me.Mind you we could have been there some time he had loads to reduce and all the good stuff was on the bottom and he was starting at the top.:rolleyes:
