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

    Night all and hugs for all those who are poorly, fed up or going back to work tomorrow! x

    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.
    D'you know I cannot leave the house until I have made mine...I find I get twitchy if I do - unless it's sheet change day when I strip it and leave it to air. I can quite happily leave DDs and DSs bed unmade though cos it's their job:rolleyes:
    must be my 'ocd' that, then...

    Just spent two hours going through school stuff with/for DS1 as I have parents evening this week and needed to check loads of stuff out. I'm going to have to talk mighty quick to get everything asked within my 5 minutes with some teachers.

    Dusty's extras this week:
    Post ebay parcels
    Take CRB form to school
    Check out laundrette
    check tax letter
    fat face order
    amazon order
    sports socks order
    whistle/cuff for DS1
    Dig up some more dahlias
    cover files
    order certficate

    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:

    Toots - you aren't allowed to buy anymore stuff until you've got rid of the boxes of junk cluttering up your living room!

    P.S. I think it will be the bathroom next ;)
