Packed lunch made, MOTD over so I think it's off to bed for me.

It did occur to me as I was making my bed, that although I haven't got much flying done this week due to work, since I joined this thread I haven't once gone to bed in an unmade bed - so even when things get difficult it's making a difference.

Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last0 -
Freecyle has gone quiet on me... but one item collected today and 4 collections lined up for tomorrow. I'm half way between two groups, and things definitely go up more quickly on one of them than on the other.
I'm shattered today, so I have no idea how I'll make it through this week. Migraine coming on, so off to take drugs and have a bath.
It did occur to me as I was making my bed, that although I haven't got much flying done this week due to work, since I joined this thread I haven't once gone to bed in an unmade bed - so even when things get difficult it's making a difference.
I can't wait until the utility room is finished... I expect I'll think of more things to do then!
thats good about getting the stuff away on freecycle - you are making progress. I have to agree with you about being on here - I still have a long way to go but things are better - my bathroom has never been so shiny!!
as for whats next after the utility room - can we just take it one step at a time please - I know you are a high powered executive by day but the rest of the time you are human and must not get carried away with yourself!!!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
