Morning all, haven't been flying so far so I am going to jump in today and do as much as I can
I haven't got a spare room as such as they need to be sorted out - one is Dh's and I'm not allowed in there as that is his "den!" and t'other is where we put everything that won't go in the loft, although this is going to be cleared out in March and turned into a guest room finally mainly due to the loft being cleared out.
Not sure what to call today's list probably just extensions of Monday and Tuesday..lol
Have a friend coming around for lunch today so have to get my rear into gear otherwise she will be eating fresh air..lol

Morning all :hello:
Hugs all round
I am organised this morning and its scaring me. I've done the ironing for today, my bag is ready, my lunch is ready, there is a stew in the slowcooker ready for tea tonight & tomorrow (on low as auto seems to burn it to the pot around the edges) and although I'm not dressed and I still have wet hair I'm not too bothered.... maybe that glass of wine last night relaxed me a little bit too much
Going to go and get dressed.... :wave:Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0 -

Well done gertie
I really want to wimp out of travelling again today but I don't feel I can....DH left about 30 mins ago and said the traffic (he gets the bus) is completely solid (he's hardly got anywhere) and the pavements are just ice. I know I'm being soft (must've turned into a Southerner) but I really can't break anything in my job! Anyway, I text my boss and said i'll come in for just before lunchtime when she's getting in....gotta show some willing!Mum to gorgeous baby boy born Sept 2010:j0 -
Hi all.
I'm back from a long weekend in Sydney where it was so, so very HOT! Went over to nieces wedding which was lovely, and spent plenty of time catching up with family and smooching over little babies and toddlers
Bag is still mostly packed, but washing is all done and hanging on airer after it started raining outside today.
I am working full time atm - today, tomorrow and all of next week. Friday is a public holiday, so will make the most of that by having a bit of a clean up.
My to do list will be for the next couple of days:
Empty suitcase, putting everything away in its place
Give suitcase back to MIL
Empty carrybag that is still full of all my travel info, passport, etc.
Spend 5 minutes in each room having a general tidy up
Get business accounts up to date:
* Enter all bills
* Get budgets up to date
* Reconcile mastercard statement
* Reconcile bank statement
* Do January accounts
Go into work on Saturday morning to get their January accounts done
Weekly menu
Grocery list
Grocery shop
Will leave the list there for now. Might fine tune it tomorrow night :rolleyes:If there is to be any peace, it will come through being, not having - Henry MillerM.A.C.A.W Member . . Wannabe Flybaby0
