Morning

The shopping or go back to bed........just kidding! :rotfl:

I'd leave the ironing for tonight to do whilst watching tv or something, makes it a bit more interesting :rolleyes:

mrscmr

thanks karen

i have done the following:
tidied up the office a little - well i can see there is a desk now!lol
paid a bill - wow! but had a late payment cos i forgot it - duh!
started packaging up ebay stuff!
made a pile of rubbish and a pile of admin - hope dont get the two confused and throw away the admin and then try to admin the rubbish!

ironing - night time ... hmm i will get back to you on that. anyone got any tips on how to deal with an ironing pile to make it not so daunting and impossible?

Follow my advice re ironing- take them straight out of the tumble dryer and fold immediately-voila! The only things i iron are shirts and i dont even do that if oh is wearing a jumper on top!- i know soooo lazy

Yep, I'm the same. I just hate ironing and didn't even own one till a few years ago!:o

You've been more productive than I have so far today. I'm going to have an early lunch, catch up on MSE as I haven't had a chance to have a proper read in ages, then go out to return some clothes to the shops. It will make my monthly spending diary look more healthy once I get the refund!

Do something that can be ticked off the "to do list" fairly quickly, makes it look better!I sometimes add on little items, so it looks good quickly!

mrscmr

packaged all ebay
done 1 load washing 1 drying
tidied upstairs
