Well good morning, at least I am here at a respectable time.
Cold and sore throat really got hold now, but I will go and find some bright and cheerful warm clothes. I have stripey blue fluffy ones with bears on them. (No real bears; well stuffed ones if you know what I mean, not bear patterns) I am rambling I think sn*t seeps into your brain when you have a cold.:o
Today I will not put the heating on until the timer kicks in.
Shopping List I didn't do yesterday
Check Christmas list, not much to buy now
Shred old paperwork
Check through new will
Go and buy milk Nothing else
Empty cupboard in ds's room and put dd's stuff in boxes
Tidy my bedroom:o
I have updated sat nav on free trial:j
I will list some more ebay items
SIL coming round and we are going to plan allotment planting for next year
(she has had rotten cold so we can share our germs)
Ds away at friends till tomorrow, so at least don't have to motivate him to work today, and I will get Friday off as he wont be back in time to go to pottery.
Well thats enough to be going on with ((hugs)) and's to those who need them today.
My finances are work in progress.Normal veiwing will resume shortly0 -
Savingfor a rainy day - that a really good idea, planning the allotment together, I may just adopt that with friends of mine who like their garden but have hopeless OH's........thanks
Page 1 today, I suspect that's the best I could hope for :rolleyes:
So today I have/will:- charged phone at work
- brought in packed lunch (HM bread, a little stale now, and run out of cheese so it's peanut butter, oh dear)
- washing done at 30 and drying on indoor airer
- collect shelves for the new shed, but combining the journey with a planned trip to friends
will also pick up a few things at the shop, and fill the car with petrol at the cheapest place in the area.
- will contact buddy and arrange to plan our veg plots together.......:D we could save on seeds and plants if we share
- went to gym last night and used their hot water/shampoo/shower gel etc. I'm keeping this up (I do need a smilie with a halo
) 3 times a week, but keep forgetting to tell you.
