  • Flower - Purlease can I go on the map too? i am near Sleaford in not so flat Lincolnshire......thankyou


    I am in for the challenge next week but have decided to be much more relistic - so:

    Monday
    Level 1
    Strip sheets - remake bed and wash old bedding
    take one bag from bedroom - sort and empty this completely (usually just move from one place to a another......)
    put ironed clothes away
    Extra's
    find details of earnings and lease car bits for tax return ..... ohhh nearly late!
    complete and post DS college bus pass form
    print thankyou letters and write envelopes
    collect prescription (Mega important as right out of meds)

    Daily
    wash up after tea
    take packed lunch to work/school

    think that is more than enough for me at the moment....

    Also my MACAW for this week is to go to bed by 12.30 each night at the verey latest....... mmmm can't see me sticking to this one but will try

    November NSD 1/10
    Weight loss - 7lbs from the 41 I need to loose = 34 to go
  • Well I am pleased with myself. I just gave DH clutter to throw out from the MB. A king sized duvet that DS spilt choc milk on and 2 lumpy v shaped pillows that I no longer need. It’s an achievement for me to just acknowledge that I no longer need them. The packrat in me always wants to save stuff just in case.

    DH’s been fussing about the clutter again and is threatening to just throw everything out if I don’t deal with it, not very MS. So next week I am going to learn to eBay.

    Now that I have written it down and declared that I’ll do it I will just have to. Once I get over that initial fear I know I’ll be fine but it is jumping over that hurdle. I’ve joined my local freecycle over 6m now and never offered a single thing. I have a problem.

    I have done 15 min floordrobe and neatened a set of 3 shelves.
    WM done now so I will hang the things, put another load on and sit and finish my yr 8 marking.

    EE I have given up on telly. I found myself paying for channels I didn’t have time to watch so just after DD was born (6 m ago) I reduced sky to free to view and kids only. I use to have everything, then everything minus sports (£10 for sports:eek: ) now I don’t even miss the movies. I use to feel worse wanting to watch them and not having the time than not having them at all. I which I had reduced sky earlier would have saved myself a bundle.
    The work will wait for you to finish showing the LOs the rainbow, but the rainbow would not wait for you to finish the work.
  • Lunches done for tomorrow
