2. [STRIKE]Clear cardboard boxes from hall[/STRIKE] and start packing Half Done
3. [STRIKE]Sign Solicitors forms and hand deliver [/STRIKE] Done
4. Sort cheap travel insurance - or ring bank, as I'm sure my account includes it
5. [STRIKE]Order online shopping to arrive on Monday ready for sister and kids while we're away[/STRIKE] did instore - Arggghhh!!
6. Finish writing Last Will and Testament Doc, and In Case of Emergency doc
7. Take trousers ordered online back to Post Office :A
8. [STRIKE]Washing[/STRIKE] and ironing - yawn Washing well on the way to being done

If I get through that lot, I'll be happy. Right, back to the grindstone....

Sorry to hear about your toe...how I missed that I don't know!! Speed reading to catch up is not one of my strong points!

Fab news on the mortgage...really great news!!

You can enjoy Rome now ! We went for our honeymoon...its amazing, I recommend flat shoes!!

macgirl

Oh yes Chops, sadly it will be flatties as my feet hurt in my heels

Well, 3 miles done this morning. My foot was sore but not painful and the toes were well taped - so all good! I'll rest tomorrow, then do 6 miles on sunday.

My head is swimming with what to do first today. I also need to factor in a leg wax appointment and contact the letting agent....

Think I need a shower and coffee to sort my head out. Envelope 3 is also waiting :j

Have a good day if you're reading

I have just written my to do list for the day which is much longer than I had expected - it just grew and grew and grew, though, once I started writing!!

Good news on the run this morning - hopefully the toe won't give you any more problems now - just take care!

I'm joining you with the coffee right now.....have a good day x

macgirl

Yes I need to write mine down, it's not so much a list - just spaghetti junction at the moment :eek:

hypno06

Yes, mine was a muddle in my head too, but I grabbed an A4 pad and just started writing it down - it is a long list I have given myself, but I think (looking at it again) that it is doable throughout the course of the day.

As long as I actually get off my lazy arris, that is :rotfl:

macgirl

Yep, I need to shut down and go and sign my Solicitor's paperwork, then drag OH to do the same - that can be the first job ticked off the list!

Right must shutdown now - have a good and productive day!

macgirl

So far:

Dishwasher on, kitchen cleaned
Solicitor's paperwork signed and sorted
Passports found and proof of ID ready to take to solicitors
Panicked when realised could not find Building Regs Certificate for removal of a cellar wall - rang building control and am popping down for a replacement in an hour - phew (£5 though - grrrr)
Send emails to work - all work sent last night has been received - hurrah
Washing sorted and one load in
Shopping list made - decided to go to supermarket instead - with 2 kids - must be mad
Phoned IFA to pay for BTL valuation - another £400 :eek:
Can't get in for leg wax - so will do DIY with wax strips :money:

So am going to get ready, drop off the charity shop stuff, go to supermarche, go to Building Control, go to Solicitors

Think I need a chamomile tea to restore calm

hypno06

Significant progress being made then, Mac :T

macgirl

Just having a coffee break, but really just want to lie down on the sofa and have 40 winks

Perhaps the last few weeks has caught up with me - I'm shattered.

Solicitors' letter delivered
Building Regs Certificate collected
Supermarket done - was total endurance with 2 demanding kids
Second load of laundry in - 1 load in dryer, third load waiting
EDIT: And took 8 binbags round to the charity shop!

Tomorrow I'm getting my roots done (good job as it looks like a pot of white paint has landed on top of my head - I seem to have gone white overnight :eek:)
Before that I'm considering running to my parent's house, which is the other side of town and mainly uphill. It's about 4 miles away, but seems further. We need to collect a van from them for DH to buy the rest of the DIY stuff - so I could kill 2 birds there.
Then I'm collecting the carpet cleaner I've hired. so that'll keep me out of trouble tomorrow afternoon Rock and Roll!
