    Hi everyone, I'm a newbie :hello: - I'd like to join in please!

    I work full time and study part time, and have a 2-year-old, so time management is a must! I'm hoping that by joining in with this thread I can keep on top of my houswork in an organised fashion too! :)

    As usual, just bobbing in and saying thank you to pigpen for the list.

    Hugs to all - and there are so many people having a tough time so an extra hug to them.

    Pigpen - I am so glad you are okay, I was worried yesterday.

    DS has had a good night. Unfortunately so did the neighbours! He slept through it but I didn't so I feel like the living dead. Sigh.
    Always another chapter

    • Bath
    • Remake bed (stripped it this morning to encourage me to have my bath :rotfl: )
    • OU work :
      • Tutorial 3

      • Tutorial 4
      • TMA 02:eek: Well, at least look at it!!! :o
    • Sort out DD's old bed for Freecycler coming this evening for it :D
    • Phone another Freecycler about something else and sort it out for them to collect.
    Time for the school run *yawn*
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

  • Morning all

    Sorry I've not had much chnace to read the thread....it gets long overnight!! I must go to bed much earlier than all of you. So hugs to all those that need them and hello to everyone else.

    I don't seem to be getting much of the list done. The trouble is I do the easy bits like empty bins but leave the stuff that needs doing...like the floors. Still I am quite refreshed today so I may not have an afternoon nap and will catch up on the list then.

    After the excitement of cramps and a show yesterday everything seems back to normal today. I have a scan tomorrow to double check that the baby isn't breech - she was 2 weeks ago and last week they couldn't be sure so I don't really want anything to happen before that

    :rotfl:I'm reading that at the moment too! Her books are fab, I've managed to read the first four in the series all in the wrong order which makes it a bit confusing at times.:rotfl:

    DH's snoring kept me awake half the night so feeling knackered again, not sure how much flying I'll manage this week if I don't get some sleep and SUN!

    Got a BM off freecycle yesterday :T and have so far today scrubbed it clean and looked at the recipes. Unfortunately she couldn't find the full instructions so we'll see how it goes as I've never used one before. I'm very excited though:j (I lead a very dull life, what can I say...):o
