What small DFW things will you do this week? w/c 12/06

Morning. Ah I feel soooo good! A combination of a day off - work has been relentless and intense for weeks now which I haven't coped with very well another one of my clients has died I found out yesterday - no outside commitments other than ballet at 2 and almost an 1.5 hours in the hot tub with a bottle of wine last night when I got home at :j

I have been to the allotment for an hour this morning. Harvested a calabrese (broccoli), beetroot, broad beans, radishes, strawberries, a couple of mange tout, and a cucumber :T will have it all with dinner tonight a ys roast chicken (for the meat eaters)

Today I will:

*[STRIKE] pay cc - will do it after posting[/STRIKE]
*[STRIKE] by virtue of above check banking [/STRIKE]
* hang up load of washing & put away yesterday's
* vacuum throughout
* nip to sm to way home to pick up oat milk and bread
* need to check a couple of £5 vouchers/MOC as they have a short shelf life
* go through fridge and make sure nothing perishes. There are going to be some casualties as have been too busy to stay on top of stuff recent. Anything that can be will be given to the worms
* go and return some of madam's school unifrom
really start planning what I need to get to make madam's water/sand station for her birthday in 3 weeks
pot on peppers & sow some items

Lastly (but certainly not least!) another hot tub session depending on bank acc might treat us to another bottle

Afternoon all

YS stuff for lunch today and left a few minutes early to buy a multipack of crisps and some more powder soup on the way to the station.

I'm going to the art shop shortly to see if I can find a cheapish A2 sized plastic folder to put all of DSXGF's paintings in to return them to her. If they are too expensive I will give her my old leather portfolio which has been made redundant by the ipad.

I'm kind of planning on chicken and chips for dinner tonight with a side salad.

I watered the veggies this morning but will get out and do the whole garden tonight. I also need to plant up my hanging baskets again as they are seriously under performing. I have a couple of nemesia which will be nice planted at nose height.

Have a great day everyone!

Afternoon everyone
Still feeling topsy-turvy:eek:, just feel it is a week of no routine. Also feel it's the end of an era as my DD has her last exam next week, I have asked to run her and pick her up as it will be my last school run, that will be it no more school. DD has asked for more shifts at work as she is saving for a car.
So decided today that I needed a project. Small back bedroom used by my niece and guests is in desperate need of decorating. So have been looking at ideas and costings.
I hate diy and decorating with a passion and I'm going to have to pay for someone to come in.
But it gives me something to plan, and it will take me time to pack up sort out bits and hopefully give me some motivation to get things done.
If anyone has see my motivation, send it home will you:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Project back bedroom planned for the end of July:T
Still keeping my MSE ways.
Meeting tonight for a hour
Eating from cupboards and freezer this week, as have so much in the freezer that isn't being used.
DBF daughters birthday this week, presents all sorted
Slowly getting paperwork done that I put off .
Was up at 5am this morning, have no idea why but ended up collapsing onto the settee for a snooze later which has made me feel wonky.
Right off to look at quirky lighting......love lighting that is different:p
Have a good afternoon everyone

Hi everyone :wave:

Not really got much to say but thought I'd say hello...

I've not been the best at staying on the wagon this month but hey ho - more to life sometimes!

Desperately need to clean and tidy the house but CBA...

Going to book a holiday tonight so not DFW-esque but we definitely want to get away this Christmas (long story!)

Here's my DFW-strategy just in case it helps anyone:
- check sky scanner for the dates I wanted - searched for 'everywhere'
- searched flights a few days either side but still over Christmas - saved around £200 by going a couple of days before
- found the cheapest flights to a location that interested me
- checked expedia flights and hotel deals for that location (some are as cheap as just flights on their own)
- got 3% cashback for expedia booking

Now I just need to check some other combos of hotel and flight to see if any are cheaper but just as good.... Then I'll be ready to book. :think:

Like last year we'll use Crimbo money from our parents as spending money so it won't work out too expensive at all.

DNMS - that looks like an ace water and sand pit - I might send that onto my BIL as everyone says he never does anything. That could be a wee project for my niece.
Oooh Happy Kitties -end of an era indeed! Get that project back bedroom up and running

Chicken and chips cooked, it was full price, pre-prepared chicken but I chose the flavour that had money off. YS sandwiches bought for tomorrow.

The garden smells lovely tonight (I've taken to eating my dinner out there), the star Jasmine is flowering, it's gorgeous.

I need to get up early tomorrow to drop my repeat prescription to the GP, I'm then going to try to park near my old house and travel in from that station, just have to remember to get off a stop earlier in the evening too!
