Oh dear, I should have stayed in and done stuff but DP had to go to Middlesbrough so thought make the most of him paying the fuel cost and go get what I needed. Got myself a couple of nice pairs of jeans, because the underneath of mine are getting close to knicker showing stage. I popped in a jewellers having a sale and picked up a X*** present for my Mam half price
then back for DS2s harvest festival (hence I am here now as brought him home with me)
Anyway excuses aside, I should have stayed home and got cracking really. Everythings still messy here and it's getting to me. I keep thinking I don't know where to start and end up doing nothing. I still have that BBQ in here and to make it worse an awning now aswell since the new one arrived.
So this evening I am going to do the sitting room, declaring full out war on it................so that means...HHC 3.15pm -3.45pm to start me off! ((hugs for poohbear))One day I might be more organised...........
GC: £200
Slinkies target 2018 - another 70lb off (half way to what the NHS says) so far 25lb0 -
my mind is boggling :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
Note to self:- must get out more!!
In my innocence I never thought that could be taken in another way:eek:
When I mop I either do a swishy with my vildeda or if I am feeling energetic - I mop the floor with a hand mop - and wipe down 'anything mysterious' on the walls because obviously when I'm up close I can see it better - and I mop the skirtings and everything...my mum calls it 'a good bottoming' - that's no better either:rotfl::rotfl:Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016

Teenies done my dailies today bless him so there's only the tea to cook later on.
My Amazon order arrived too today but it was a xmas pressie for teenie, but I looked at the Nigella book in Asda and it looks good, so tempting to buy it even though I don't really do bakingI know it's shameful I have no right whatsoever to be here lol Maybe if I bought it I'd be inspired.... yeah good reason.....:cool:
Littley breaks up for half-term today so need to sort out childcare for tomorrow - only 3 hrs so wont be too difficult. OH is still [STRIKE]milking it [/STRIKE]suffering with his extraction.....what a baby :rolleyes: I'm gonna have to punch it if he doesn't shut up about it tonight - give him something to whinge about.

What the hecky peck am I on, it wasn't my Amazon order it was HMV !!!!!!! I forgot what time I had to go to my first job this morning too and was duly late :rolleyes: It's the hormones.

Well done you!
Yey, was thinking the same about you as well. Well done you to!
I am starting to flag a bit now though. But in my defence I have been up since 5.20 am and I have been too work as well.
I'm just gonna finish off the LR and maybe tackle the desk. Think that'll do me for today. Unless I get a second wind.
Be back later0
