Wish I could sleep longer in the mornings! Today it as 4.50am when I was suddenly really wide awake.
Managed to stay in bed until 5.45am but then had to get up. Am about to walk the dogs, no idea what it's like outdoors yet! Today has to be spent sorting our bedroom out - the others have been done already this week, as soon as DS and family left. Ours is still a mess, so some serious work there I think! WM on as I type, and very little in ironing basket, so hopefully that will soon be emptied again. Have a good day folks!

Okay, been up for two and a half hours, but apparently I'm not the early bird today. Had a bad night last night (to much Dr Pepper yesterday!) So I've just spent the hour and a half after walking oh to station reading til I elt somewhat more human. Going over 'How I live on £1' again, I'm finding it quite inspirational, and have decided to try something similar, though eminently more achieveable by me. I'm living off a £1 a day in January for personal spending (food and bills are already budgeted for) and I will accept 'gifts' which she wouldn't (like yesterday oh offered a tenner for me to go to Tescos and pick up some bits coz he invited his friend over for tea without telling me....I knew the friend was coming over, but about te mins before he showed upoh goes 'oh, I might have invited him over for tea...' Men! I gave him the change though.

Wandering round Sky City is next on the agenda, I'm making a list (stealing your idea greenbee...only hope I can be as industrious) of everything that I want to do, on the premise of that way I'm going to get a tidy, decluttered home (also kinda preparing for a move, but we're not moving yet) and not going out and spending money. If I feel like a distraction, might have a read throught the Simplyfying Life thread, to get me thinking in the right direction.

20min List making session followed by a hhc 8.30 - 9.00am, anyone in?

Are you trying for another one summermoon? Or was it just the thought that you might be?

3. Sweep the kitchen floor!
4. Fill a binbag to go to charity shop

Don't try and do too much Johanne - you need to get better.
