Day 32 - only 50 days to go _pale_
Couldn't sleep last night, so got up early to do the things I've been procrastinating about. It'll make me feel better if I do, I think I spend too long on here reading the diaries. In order to be strict with myself I'm going to limit my time by doing one of my tasks, and then allowing myself time on here
These are the things I *need* to do before next weekend:- Put Boot fair stuff back in the loft in one place - won't be doing a boot until sis gets back from her holiday.
- LIST SOME THINGS ON E-BAY - or I'll never reach my target.
- menu plan to use up stuff in the freezer (it's packed again), prevent me going shopping again and ensure that I have packed lunches.
- clear DS1's room of stuff (has to be tonight, he may be back tomorrow
- find somewhere to store the e-bay stuff I've cleared from DS1's room....but NOT the sitting room which is where I removed it from.
- mow the lawn (and possible weed the veg plot)
- weed the front garden (miniature topiary is invisible because the weeds grew faster
)
- plus go to work/mystery shop/occasionally walk too
& will update sig.

Day 32 Part II
Work is getting a little demanding at the moment, I'm going to have to put in a few extra hours over the next month......but then I'm taking that off in September
Tonight I've:
Tidied a lot of stuff back into the loft
Saving the e-bay listing until Thursday when it's 1/2 price....
Re-washed an entire dishwasher full because it was covered in gritty stuff :mad:
Put something in the SC for a supper tomorrow night when DS1 & gf come home.
Fortunately it was too wet to get in the garden. Maybe tomorrow....
Spent an hour or two with Popeye on Skype - we will have brief e-mails now until Friday night. He drank beer while I chopped onions. I told him that many women would give their eye-teeth for a marriage that consisted of domestic bliss and undivided attention for a couple of hours each evening, without the inconvenience of conjugals :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:0 -
Absolutely.....an ideal relationship :rotfl:Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0

Last night I was sitting in my bathroom (as you do
) when the door slowly opened :eek: I assumed it was the cat, who hates being the wrong side of a closed door, but as my view was obscured by the bath I couldn't be positive.....and I thought of that film 6th sense when the lad has to nip to the loo in the night and ghouls pass by..............and it spooked me :eek:
I did my last check of doors in the house, fed the cat as quickly as possible, cleaned my teeth hastily and went to my bed. Now the bedroom door had been closed all this time so when I stood by the bed and something attacked my foot :eek: :eek: I leapt 8ft into the air. The bluddy cat had crept under my bed and was killing me in a playful manner :rotfl: :rotfl:
Tonight as I opened the front door, there was the cat sitting smugly amid half a box of shredded tissues that DS had left handy for him. So I had to vaccuum for the first time since OH left 33 days ago :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:0 -
