Hi everyone..
Sorry, haven't read all 10 pages that have appeared since I last posted *sighs*. But I hope everyone is doing well today and hugs for those who aren't.
I am very proud of myself. I finally finally got the gift tags made and the presents wrapped and we took them round to where they should have been months ago. It's a long painful story and I have been procrastinating for all this time but it was keeping me awake at night so I finally finally did it. And my OH really helped too. I expected to feel better right away but actually it wasn't until I woke up this morning that I realised I didn't feel sick with worrying about it any more.
So my lists for today..
Daily list:
feed cat at least twice
Sort emails
Do any outstanding surveys
Ask OH to check tomato plants for ripe ones
Spray bathroom with bleach spray
Spend an hour doing reviews
Do my daily click thrus
and extras:
file 10 peices of paperwork (keep ignoring this one)
browse thru recipe books to find new meal ideas
find phone numbers for decorators (this keeps appearing on my list and I don't seem to be doing it!!)
Play with new Energy monitor
Bake hobnobs.
Have a productive day flying everyone!

Hiya everyone
Denise - congratulations for your son. The photo is fabulous - you must be so proud.
Froddington - hope you're ok, thinking of you and your dad xx
Thanks to everyone for the advice about bedtimes. I think i'm trying to get them to sleep to early. The problem is by 730 I need a break! Lol. So, i'm going to start sending them up at 730 to get ready for bed. Then ds (7) can read until 815 and dd (9) can read until 830/845. This will be on the understanding that if they're little grumps in the morning they'll be going to bed at 6 the next day!!!! Ok, not that early but earlier:rotfl: .
My arm is a bit achy this afternoon. Think i've just overused it a bit working every day. I'm only seeing one client tomorrow so hope it will ease up a bit for working Saturday.
Time for the school run and taking ds and dd to grandparents for tea. Then I guess i'll do my list!
Speak to you later.
Hugs to all xx0 -
