    Morning :hello:

    Had a hot and busy week at work - felt completely washed out when I came home, so nothing much done.







    Here's this week's list (and I will get it done!)
    • Do the housework. Done
    • Do all my washing. This week's done - other stuff still lurking at bottom of washing basket.
    • Do all my ironing. Done
    • Start to enter CPD online. Started
    • Go shopping and get enough food for the week. Done
    • Check a cashback site for any freebie offers. No
    • Send for 5 freebies. 3 done.
    • Clear filing trays completely. Working on it.
    • Do surveys as they arrive in my in-box. Mostly
    • Keep up-to-date with competitions. Not really.
    • Do my daily scratch/clicks routine every day. Done
    • Sell something. No
    • Clear out some paperwork at work every day. Done
    • Throw/recycle/donate one thing every day. Done
    • Have something to eat and wash-up before I put the computer on every night. Mostly - need to tighten up on this next week.
    • Write to pension scheme to update details. Still no!
    • Do any new things on the day they come in. Done
    • Re-activate my AQA account. Half-done
    • Buy some ink for the printer. No

    That's it for now.

  • Morning :wave:

    Sarah, you're really powering through your list this week :D.

    Emily, how are you doing? I think aiming at a couple of things a day is a good way to look at it - it all gets done eventually (or the need for it to be done goes away :rotfl:).


    Today I will
    • Do my daily scratch/clicks routine. Done
    • Clear out some paperwork at work.
    • Throw/recycle/donate one thing.
    • Do something to make me look/feel physically better.
    • Have something to eat and wash-up before I put the computer on when I come in from work.
    • Do any new things that come in today.
    • Do anything towards something on my weekly list!
    Have a good day.
