      Got DD up at 7.30 - she hates her alarm clock which is a traditional one :rotfl::rotfl: Me, I was supposed to be up at 6am so I could jump in the bath, got up at 7.15 instead so I need to shift myself tomorrow and get myself organised tonight! :oBut I did manage to get DD ready and sitting watching a film by 8.40:D

      Plan for today is to sort out a meal plan, and see if I need enough stuff to warrant an Asda Home Delivery or not ;) I'm going to leave cleaning until tomorrow when DD has gone back to school as I'm planning on putting alot of the crockery etc from the kitchen away to encourage me to wash up more (I'm thinking if we only have 2 dinner plates/side plates/bowls then I'll have to wash up :o ). I also need to sort out DD PE Kit (just putting it in the bag) and I need to remember to re-label her school coat (I did the rest of her uniform yesterday while doing the ironing).

      Best get myself moving I suppose.... :wave:

      Morning ladies

      So shopping is packed away-although the forgot the nappies:eek: Thankfully DF is home so he can go down to tesco's with me-always get the jumbo boxes-ah and I just had a thought-I have pampers vouchers so I can get even more savings:j

      Tag have a look here for details of how to start your control journal. Its really just a file that incorporates whatever is regular in your life. I have a divider for inventories, money matters, one for me (diets doctors etc) one for DF and one for DS. I have a routine builder and a folder for cleaning schedules (I file Pigpens lists here. I also have a calendar by week including house appointments. I also have one for gas and electricity meter readings and meal plans and recipe lists. Theres also one for general where I file things like the food freezing guide and home made pantry cleaners. Then right in the back I have one of those plastic envelopes where I put in the "whats on guides" that I get each week from the library info centre.

      As for the rest of you, I will need to come back later as Ive not done any work yet. Hope everyone has a good day

      One load washing out on the line and machine back on again, think i'll do a bit in the living room today cause it's piggin.
      Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
      And things go wrong no matter what I do.
      Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
      But you've got the love I need to see me through.
