    4. Catch up on important phone calls... if you do it now you have time to chase the follow up calls later in the week!
    Also managed TD x1, feed kittens/cats, walk dog and feed, catch chickens and put away - do they not realise it is too cold to roost in the trees!
    Forgot to say after giving DS his own task we managed to clear out the kitchen cupboard with the saucepans in, washed it all down and stacked everything nicely. May attempt another cupboard tomorrow as he seemed to enjoy it.

    I have also managed to work out total debt which I am too ashamed to post here but have joined the PAD challenge to get rid of the dreaded Barclaycard (Xmas spending)
