    That looks really good taxi - challenging, but achievable (you've got that 1.5 hours in there, between housework, decluttering and a walk, as well as work). Still, my hat's off to you, you manage so much.

    Morning KC...I think I could achieve that.I always seem to get more done if I make a list.So,here's hoping.


    Have made a start....
    Feb accounts done and put in box.
    March accounts..I have done todays.
    Had my walk...as I walked to office to put some paperwork in and then to Halifax where I deposited £330.....I then went in Iceland with a free £5 high street voucher which I've had ages and bought 5 bags of veg only needing to put 50p toeards it....I then went in Polish butchers and bought a lovely cooked sausage(can't pronounce the name but I know is delicious)...5 slices of cooked meat that has veg in it and 8 slices of lovely ham..grand total £3.00....their meat is so good and not full of water like the packet rubbish...so lunches sorted for a few days.

    Came home and emptied fridge(part of decluttering)..will clean in a bit.

    Put pots in to soak..will be washed in about 10 mins.

    Put a wash load in before going out and that will be finished in 10 mins so will put that in dryer before washing pots.

    Went online and transferred £10 in one of DHs accounts ready for his Halifax DD on the 8th(incase I forget)...then transferred the other £320 into the other halifax account and onto A+L ....so am £320 towards the £1k needed through the accounts.

    Made myself a brew which I'm drinking as typing before going in the kitchen.


    So have done a bit...forgot to say also walked back with the shopping.

    Sorry Mum2one..missed your post earlier.

    I've been busy for the last 45 mins and am aching now so will have a rest until after 5pm.

    Have washed pots
    Put one lot of washing in dryer..nearly dry so will be folded when finished.
    Put another lot in washer..finished..was going to hang on line but started to rain so will put on maiden upstairs when I nip to loo.
    Have totally cleaned the fridge...that was really hard work!!!
    Just waiting for fruit/veg trays to dry then will put them back.

    Later on I'll polish downstairs and hoover
    and DD can put the washing away (that's her job cos of bending/stretching)

    I think that will be enough for today then...I'll see.

    you are certainly not lazy - anything but!

    i've been off today, migraine and just didn't seem to be able to wake up completely and have been in and out of bed most of the day. Not sure what the cause is but think it may just be the stress of eveything which is happening at work and with my dad catching up on me.
