    Morning all :hello:

    I'm soooo tired its stupid :o But 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 :D Thank goodness for 90day returns with M&S :D ). 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+ :o 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 :o 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.
    :wave:
    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!
  • 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.
