Morning :hello:
I think the 'heading into a quieter time at work' thing was a bit optimistic:rolleyes:. I did manage to get some things done, but no time to update. Still, there's lots of things on my list that have been there for a very long time!
So I will try again and this week I will- Do any new things on the day they come in.
- Do the housework.
- Do the washing.
- Do the ironing.
- Read the gas and electricity meters.
- Prepare work for Monday.
- Go shopping and get enough food for the week.
- Take a bag of things to a charity shop.
- Tidy my handbag.
- Clear out some paperwork at work every day.
- Clear out some paperwork at home.
- Throw/recycle/donate one thing every day.
- Do one thing every day to make me feel/look better.
- Write to a pension scheme to update details.
- Spend 30 minutes every day doing something for work that I keep putting off because there is always something else that needs to be done first (and so this stuff is always at the back of my mind).
- Do one thing that needs to be done because it's irritating me!
