    Evening all.
    Sorry but I haven't had time to read everyone's posts so I hope you are all well.
    Am going to make myself a drink and sort out my list for tonight
    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.


  • Oh GTX, big hugs to you, you poor thing, sitting there crying all alone. Try to imagine a girl of 24 with brown hair and blue eyes and rosy cheeks and is cuddly size and who is nice and friendly sitting there next to you with her arm around you and saying soothing things (it's me).
    Glad you think I don't chat too much Toots, I've been making more of an effort since one page last week had about 4 posts from me on it!

    Am going to change the way I post. As I get fed up feeling all behind, I'm going to delete everything from Pigpen's lists that I haven't done, and just post those items when/if I've done them. My personal list I will keep the same. I have the original list in Microsoft Word so I will copy and paste across like normal, and then adjust in my posts as necessary. That way, my posts will feel happier and not like a stick to beat me with! I know it's not a stick, but I only want to see what I've done, not what I haven't! If that makes sense.
    Personal list:
    Wash up –one sinkful done and work top is now clear! Have washed up more and the cooker is nearly clear! :T One sinkful and a half to go til kitchen is done! :j
    Heel balm on heel AM PM MUST DO THIS
    Write cards/letters to friends
    Make up ‘stuck at home’ package for friend
    [STRIKE] Sign Tenancy Agreement – has to be witnessed by someone
    Online banking
    Do online surveys[/STRIKE]


    [STRIKE]Tuesday[/STRIKE] Wednesday in the village: Take TA to lettings agent - they are coming for a flat inspection so they can take it with them! :p
    Library – take books back

    MACAW: Declutter a hotspot (LIVING ROOM FLOOR) and keep it clear for a week! It's still clear! :T

    Mondays are Marvellous!! - Living pit, hallway, stairs!!
    Level One
    Declutter the floors! Took one hour and was exhausting!
    Clean the sofas Have tidied them. Would still like to hoover under the cushions

    Extras
    1. Wash any [STRIKE]smelly [/STRIKE] bitty soft furnishings
    Twinkly Tuesday - kitchen and dining area
    Level One
    Declutter and wipe the worksurfaces

    Have a flat inspection so need to get the place a bit better than it is, but it's not the four hour frantic clean/tidy it normally is! :rolleyes: Yet again I am reminded how much this thread has helped me, it's not an exaggeration to say it's changed my life. Thanks everyone :A

  • Evening everyone

    Feeling very tired - late night with the book group ladies last night followed by work today. So no flying - but sold two cupboards on Friday Ad, now they can't be filled back up with rubbish!:rolleyes:

    Tomorrow working from home so there should be mini flying opportunities at break times.

    Yawn, time to get kids to go to sleep ..

    hex - Happy Birthday

    nicki - ouch! Hope you're not too sore

    AnW - :T :j :D :j :T (which New Year are you aiming for?) :rotfl:

    carlsberggal - hugs for you and yours

    soappie - do you think glucosamine would help my arm? It's really bad today (hasn't been like this for a while) and I'm fed up. Took me ages to get to sleep last night cos I couldn't get it comfortable ........

    I've read about 30 of the BBC list of books - looks like a good list for ideas of what to read though!

    Laminator is warming up again - when I'm finished I'll have done about 50 sheets of laminating! Can I count that as my 'get a pile of filing done' please pigpen?

    What list is this? As an English teacher I try to read as much as my hectic lifestyle allows.
