Good Morning to all the Lovely Ladies
Have had a busy week, but I am feeling great about what I have done.
Both front gardens weeded, pruned and clipped within an inch of their lives.
Divided DMum's Gerbera's clump into 6 so hopefully all 6 will take
Have filled 2 large wheelie bins, 1st was emptied Tuesday morning, refilled again now. (DH mowed also)
Have washing mostly up to date, just a couple of 1/2 loads waiting in the wings
Have soaked , washed and now ironed the Embroidered Dollies (?sp) we are keeping from DMums
Did an hour of ironing this morning already
Sink has Shined every night and smiled at me every morning
Main Bedroom is ship shape
Ensuite is ship shape
Lounge Room is ship shape
Dining Room is ship shape
Family Room is ship shape
DD21's (old) Room is ship shape
Kids Bathroom is ship shape
Out of Control areas are still
DS22's (old) room -
several boxes of DMum's paperwork in there ready to recycle but scared to incase anything is needed
several boxes and bags of DMum's Christmas Deco's to be added to ours and divided amongst kids (Brother has his)
box of religious items from DMum's (statues, framed prayers, books etc) to be sorted
items of DMum's clothes (gloves, hankies, scarves) as keep sakes to be stored somewhere, this also includes some lace off my Nana's wedding dress and my Brothers and my Christening petticoat
several expandable document cases with papers work from DMum, DAunt and DUncle
there is also a growing pile of current documents related to DMum's Estate
plus the ironing/folding that comes and goes in there
Back Entry-
currently piles with boxes to take to DMum's (some empty and some with washed items to be returned)
Laundry-
it's a hot mess.
So although I am ticking things off my list, there is still so much more to do.
Today is all about DD17. It is her Yr 12 formal. We have toe nails to paint after she gets back from Macca's with her Breakfast, then hair at midday, makeup then dressed. Photo's at 4.30, pre-dinner with parents at 6.30. DH and I are going out for dinner while they have their formal, then DD17 home to change (of course) then to after party. Who knows when that will end.
Ok, hoping I can fit a nap into my day somewhere and decide on what I am wearing tonight. Wishing you all a Terrific Thursday xoxo

 Good afternoon Jilly, Medusa, Shellie & anyone to come later,
Not much happening here - we've decided to go visit both of our families up north for Christmas this year.
(DFiL's health has been poor this year & recently he had a fall & was hospitalised for 2 weeks - that's the main reason we're going)
I'm really looking forward to having a break.  I don't remember the last time we had a holiday.
I need to get started on organising that, Christmas isn't that far away, I somehow feel like I'm stuck in August lol 
Today I had to drop DD's swimming bag off to her (she left it in the car) so at the same time I went & paid for her textbook hire/resources fees & bus fares & ordered her school stationery for next year.
We got our taxes done & the air con fixed (YAY!) & the smoke alarms replaced. We took a bunch of stuff to the dump & some things to donate last weekend & I've picked up my new vacuum cleaner from layby.
Anyway best be off to get some things done before school pick up time,
Wishing you all a nice night!
Shellie - congratulations to DD17 on her formal & I hope you all have a great night

 Hi Everyone
Hope you had a lovely day too Jilly and that you got all your laundry done Medusa. Shellie- Im very jealous of your ship-shape house and when you have a spare room and its messy that doesn’t even count!! Spare rooms are allowed to be a temporary storeroom!! I saw the photos of DD on fb and she is gorgeous-so elegant and you look so slim!! Elasti-Im with you- of course its still August-time couldn’t possibly go that fast!!
I had a horrible day at work. We are being accredited tomorrow and everyone is hassled, hurried and stressed. We were told to empty a huge filing compactus and put all the files downstairs- a 2 day job for 2 people and we had 2 hours!! Didn’t need to be done before tomorrow. Now all the files are in boxes, tubs and shelves and will need to be properly filed as soon as possible. 2X the work and how will we find any files we will need meanwhile GGGRRR!!! The person responsible knows Im very p#$@%ed off! She just wanted to say “look no files- all paperless. Aren’t I terrific!” with little regard to the waste of time and money doing it all twice.
It also made me late for looking after DGD while her parents and DH went to the Mumford and Sons concert. We had to meet halfway at MacDonalds (no I didn’t get any ‘food' from there), swap cars and then i took a very upset DGD to my house who wanted to go out with her mum and dad. I did settle her after her screaming tantrum (I know..who would’ve thought that angelic child!?) and then blackmailed her with icing tiny teddies on biscuits to look like they are asleep in bed.
Oh well we are fed, she is in bed, dishes are done and Im ready to go to bed and read for a bit
Hope you all have a Goodnight and Ill see you tomorrow! x x |
