Hi Everyone,:hello:

Didn't do a lot off the list yesterday so I still have quite a lot to do today.

I'm just back from a night shift so will need to have a sleep soon but I am not that tired yet.

I also need to add the following on my list:

• Another load of washing
• Clean bathroom
• Clean kitchen
• Visit parents
• Do nails

Waving to you all

Have a look at this fay it gives you the right way to go about it - it is really easy to do - tastes like philadelphia or if you add garlic etc like boursin

Morning all,

Meant to get an early start on the day but it appears to be past 9 already!! Didn't sleep too well, split up with my bf about 6 weeks ago and although am getting better on the whole some days just suck I suppose and this appears to be one of them Oh well coffee and bacon sarnie done and ready to get on with the day

List for today:

• Paperwork mountain to be reduced from K2 to molehill
• Re-do SOA and snowball calculator with correct figures not guesstimates!
• Signature
• Washing & ironing
• Run round park dragging unwilling housemates behind me
• Cook roast
• Make soup from carcass
• Hoover
• Not let ex-bf and his pettiness get under my skin and maintain dignified silence rather than sending 47 messages telling him where to shove his patronising, unwanted emails

Have a good day everyone

Smithy can't you block him? Might help think of the satisfaction of him being dumped into your junk box

Hugs and enjoy the sarnie

Morning all :j(slightly feeble star jump, as I have a cold and got woken up this morning by a shrill American voice shouting that it was 6am :eek:.) I was v. 'alarmed' because my OH is neither shrill nor American - and he wasn't best pleased either :rotfl:

It was my new (freebie) pedometer on which I had inadvertently set the alarm :rotfl:. Honestly, why do pedometers do all this stuff - this one shouts, plays really naff 'music' and, I have discovered, wakes you up at unearthly hours when you are supposed to be on holiday - I only want it to count steps! I nearly threw it out of the bedroom window, but thought neighbours might not like it either

Didn't do much of my list yesterday as I felt really tired, probably because of imminent cold. I do feel better this morning though, wierdly, as cold has now arrived, so will try to be more motivated!

Anyway, today I WILL :

See to animals (I would always do that, even if nothing else at all got done)

Usual tidying and stuff - come to think of it, it isn't that usual for me

Make a pie filling from past their best blueberries and apples

Make ratatouille with the remaining aubergines, peppers and courgettes from garden, have some for supper and freeze rest.

Clear off kitchen table as it is covered in stuff, as usual (major undertaking as it is very big and piled up :eek:)

Clear out fridge and note the contents.

I am going to stop there, as there is no point in being too ambitious! I will report back later if I manage to get anything else done

Morning all

I am exhausted just reading all of your lists, particularly yours Fay, this is not a good sign considering I've only been up for half hour :rotfl:

Got the usual chores to do today, cooking, cleaning etc.

Am off to do an inventory of the kitchen in a minute, got loads of veggies which needs to be used up and so I'm hoping I will be able to do a huge roast for 5 and only need to buy the meat.

Hope you all have a lovely day
xx

Thanks fayjmck,

I keep kidding myself that he's going to go away quitely but he keeps luring me into a false sense of security then pops his head up again!! I suppose I just don't want to give him any excuse to come round which I think he might do if I cut off all other lines of communication.

I've just re-read what I've written and realised how ludicrous it sounds - You're right this is my life not his, I am blocking him and contacting the phone company to see if I can block his number (is that possible?). Time to dry the tears and get on with the living me thinks! (maybe my 6th cup of coffee of the day might help )

Thanks again though, there's always someone on these forums to stop you feeling so damn alone in this DFW world You're a lovely bunch!

Aww Smithy - its hard


Its ace being a part of this, as I was alone (again!) in my kitchen last night cooking for the week ahead - I didn't feel lonely - I knew someone on here would be chuffed to hear me rabbiting on about batch cooking - tis a great sense of community here keep yourself safe and happy - chin up lovie

SM - ta for the link, just been given a yoghurt maker will investigate later

Morning URg and Dawn (oh dear to shrill american voices)

Morning everyone, only a mini list from me today my morning sickness seems to have come back with a vengance, just when i thought it had gone for good too:rolleyes:

Today i have/will

• done my scratchies and daily clicks
• no heating today , its lovely and sunny here (for now)
• check online banking and update my dd book
• making cottage pie for lunch using up onions and carotts - OH nearly binned them last night and they are perfectly fine just a bit bendy:p
• making a list of baby toiletries, i want to get stocked up so i'll have at least a years worth for when bubs is here. Not doing too bad i've just found some vouchers to get 2 free packs of baby huggies and wipes, plus money off vouchers for pampers so i'll only have to pay 66p per pack for 3 packs. Off to see if i can find some more vouchers and freebies.
