Good morning

Thanks for the thread Jas

dh worked really hard yesterday and spent the afternoon building flat pack furniture in order to transform our spare room I've cleared a load of clutter (I can't believe some of the junk we were hanging on to!) but still have a way to go today in order to get everything in order. The room is feeling soooo much better already so I feel spurred on to finish the job

The kids and I are supposed to be meeting some friends at the park this morning (if the grey clouds outside don't produce any rain) then I'll press on with some jobs around the house this afternoon.

See you later, have a good day x

Morning.

Glad you are making progress, shouldbe

I did lol at all the multiple posting last night

Are you an artist gibberish? That is a lovely thing o do for your friend

We are doing swimming lessons (again) every day this week, and are going out for most of the day. I'm going to try and empty the washing basket today, before the rain comes.

Blimey jas your thread titles are getting technical! They are very cool though! They make the active convo's board look very jazzy (scuse the pun )

Morning all

Hope you have a good day swimming jas shouldbe you sound as though you are making real progress....well done you (and your dh)

I have no idea what to do today. It is looking quite overcast. I have caught up with the washing, thanks to all the sun we have had lately.
I could start with the mission....eewwww its a grim one though...

Well be back in a bit

At least the mission doesn't say "nothing says I love you like a clean toilet bowl"

DD2 will be an expert swimmer.....the rest of us just sit around and watch. We will all go on Friday though so she can shopw off her new skills.

It doesn't say it but you know that is what she is thinking

My loo's are both quite clean actually. I've been keeping on top of them quite well recently. I guess it won't harm to give it a good wipe round though.

Have a great holiday, where are you off to?

EHM you've been busy already this morning! I've been trying to get on but actually not achieving much....think we'll have breakfast and head out soon. Hope to get on better this afternoon.

DH has gone back to the office with some trepidation. I know he'll be job hunting soon. He says he'll stay til this contract is up or the company folds then he'll get work elsewhere.

Just kicking about atm. I've got to take Ed to get some new shorts. His bottom half has grown all of a sudden!

Done (since 8:15

Up
Washed
Dressed
Tame hair

Draw curtains
Down with laundry
Load wm and run
Make breakfast for me and Ed
Peg out yesterday's wet washing
Empty DW
Put away
Make Ed's bed

Empty compost caddy - checked on the snails too, the big one had climbed to yje top, one was in the pile of parsley and 2 were climbing up the side. I'm sure they are happier than being in an IKEA cracker jar.

Hoover the kids rooms

wash the breakfast dishes
put away basket of ironing
clean the bathrooms
mission
4 loads of washing - 1 load on already
put washing out on the line
general tidy up
get kids to try on the new school uniforms
put away the coats that have been on the backs of the chairs in the conservatory
clean the dining room table
sweep the conservatory floor
put a clean tablecloth on the table

Right am going to watch the news and then get on with my list. Will be back to update the list as I'm doing it.
