  • 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!
    Have a good week everyone.

    Polly
