My normal weekend, getting organised for the working week: Washing x 3 washing away shopping vote dishes make a dozen sandwiches and freeze cook fried rice and freeze make pizzas and freeze bake muffins and freeze clean bathroom iron do my nails and about 2 hours of work I have no kids this weekend, so it is very peaceful and I don't have to keep cleaning up their mess as well.

My focus for today is just to tidy the whole house. No room is terrible but there are lots of things all over the place. I have spoken to the kids to warn them If we all get stuck into it, it shouldn't take too long. I am taking the younger two to Beauty and the Beast in 3D this afternoon and tomorrow have church and then I have a girls lunch.
