    Well the early night didn't work, yet again... went to bed, finished my book, made another hot water bottle (thought that might help), and still didn't go to sleep for ages!

    Woke up properly at about 8.15, got up just before 9, and have now emptied the DW (scarily I found myself giving the stainless steel saucepans a quick polish before I put them away, so they're all shiny now :D ), eaten breafast and dealt with the top few emails in my mailbox!

    Need a plan for today... and it needs to involve getting my work backlog dealt with, not just the housework.

    I have a 10am teleconference, so will do this on the mobile and hopefully get some flying done at the same time!

    See you all later...

    Hello all. Have been working full time for the past two weeks. Only thing I've managed to keep up with is the washing! Was off sick for two days this week, too! Tomorrow I am away for the day with my sister, so will be back on Sunday to post a general "tidy up and get sorted for the new week" list.

    Actually, tonight, I did do a bit extra - while making waffles for dessert, I made two extra batches and have them ready to freeze :) That is something I need to do more of - cooking extra to freeze!!

    Hope everyone has a great weekend!

    Morning all

    So far i've taken children to school, taken stripy dog to the vets for a nail clip, put on a washing load and put some rubbish in the bin in the kitchen.

    Another quietish day today as tired.

    Toots :wave: - stripes wants to hear from you soon as she'd like to tell you all about her pedicure and give you some tips!!!:wave:

    Muddy' challenge - make yourself fly, fly, fly until 11am and then get yourself a coffee and a few biccies / chocolates left from Christmas and put those feet up! xx

    Welcome Myatt

    I am dressed, have S&S'd the kitchen, am currently demolishing cheese on toast for breakfast and, most importantly, I have a plan! It goes like this:
    • Sort out the two fridges and see what's left
    • Clean said fridges
    • Defrost venison
    • Make venison stew in slow cooker using any suitable remnants from fridges
    • Make soup from any suitable remnants from fridges and stick in freezer
    • Visit high street for as much of weekly shop as possible
    • Visit Tesco for remnants
    • Clean living room windows
    • BM
    • DW
    • WM
    • Go through planning app
    • Read two chapters of Nemesis
    There! That feels better having a plan!
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
