Morning all :hello:
I'm soooo tired its stupidBut I have to move myself today as I've got things I need to do (just checked on something I thought I would have to do today and I don't
Thank goodness for 90day returns with M&S
). I'm too tired to just get stuck in, not to mention aching all over so I'm doing 15 min (or there abouts
) at a time with a 30min rest in between.
I went on Argos website yesterday and spent £100+BUT its going to be worth it as I've bought a decent bookcase thats really deep to put all my folders (Lever arch folders so a standard depth one isn't that good) and uni work on plus 2 co-ordinating media towers (reduced in price) which will take all the smaller books (like dictionaries and smaller reference books), CDs (for both the stereo & the computer
) maybe the DVDs and hopefully lots of other smaller bits and pieces in storage boxes as I have loads of stationary which I'd like to rehome so I can find it when I need it! Its due between 7am-1pm tomorrow (put a note on about school run time) so I need to get the shelves which they're replacing cleared before they collapse. I also bought a replacement blind for DD's room. I had to take the one she had up down when we were getting the window replaced and when I tried to put it back up I snapped it
That was £16 alone for that :eek:
Right, off to erm.... hmmmm .... spend 15 mins doing a job.
Done today (not sticking to a list today) :- Washing up x1
- Bid on properties (after looking up exactly where they are
) in Wigan
- School run (and all the screaming at DD to get a move on to get ready things :rotfl: )
- Stitched a button on DD's cardigan.

Valli you are putting me to shame - you must be going at breakneck speed!!!!
Well done - I think you deserve a rest!!!!
thanks for the coffee!!
I am going to do the bathroom next.
On your marks, GET SET, GO!!!!

Hi Folks
I am being a bad flylady this week!
I just cannot be bothered! all hot, then cold etc etc, so I might be getting a cold or something.
Did Southern fried chicken and veg last night. Tonight they are having toad in the hole and veg, and fruit to afters, again I just cannot be bothered to do anything more complicated.
I did sweep the kitchen floor this morning, and put the recycle stuff out.
