    Hello Mooloo, good to see you here too. I'm glad you're feeling better and more full of energy after coming off those meds.
    I'm often a procrastinator, making endless lists and never getting round to do the stuff. Or I only did house stuff when BF wasn't home (preferred that for some reason :confused:, although that luckily has changed and opened up so many more hours in the day:D). Lately I've been strangely motivated and posting my lists here in "public" probably helped too :D Good luck with your list today.

    Bails, promise, will remind you about the thread when you're back. Hope you have a fabulous trip!!

    Today's list for after work is:

    • change bed linen
    • prepare food for BBQ on Friday
    • clean/tidy kitchen cupboards
    DEBT 02/25: total £6100 Debt free date 12/25

    Thanks Bails, I am sure we will. (Well remind you anyway!) x:D

    Yesterday's list for after work was:

    • change bed linen
    • prepare food for BBQ on Friday
    • clean/tidy kitchen cupboards

    but it didn't happen, was just too tired. Only picked sth out of the freezer for today's BBQ rather than making sth like chicken skewers. Busy all weekend socially. But I'm off Mo and Tue and got a long list of jobs to work through. Have a nice weekend.

  • Hi :wave:

    Hope the weather stays nice for your bbq, thriftylass and have a good weekend.

    I'm feeling very, very lazy at the moment, but I'm trying to motivate myself to do something, so I might be back with a list later.

    Well I am quite chuffed with myself.
    I found the slowcooker, and evicted he spiders, and used Citronella to wipe the cupboard, to discourage the little invasions.!
    I made a lovely "bung in" with the lamb, and have enough left over for another meal/2 meals depending if its me eating or DS!!!
    I weeded the front before the rain came.
    I also gathered together all the bits I wanted, and made my Bag!!!(There is a picture on my Mooloo thread.
    The only thing I didnt get around to, was sortin out the vacuum, so I used the dustpan and brush on the sitting room carpet.
    I also "mediated" over the phone, with the twins,and thier various problems with the other species of humans in thier lives!!!
    Why am I nice and cival etc to these boys, when really I feel like knocking thier heads together!
    So posting here really helped me to get my act together. It took me from 2pm till nearly 8pm to finish the bag, with all the interuptions.

    TODAY.
    Well I have no set must do's. But I want to pack a weekend bag, just incase I can get a lift to my BF's in Oxford.Partly packed while I was getting dressed
    I need to wash up from last night. (NO hot water at the time)hot water is on.
    Tidy the dining room table up. (Covered in craft things)
    Water the plants
    Dust the sittingroom.
    Menu Plan with what in store
    Do some Ironing. The pileis taking over the bedroom and halfway up the chimney breast!
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.
