Macgirl's "Stop Procrastinating and Get on with it" Diary

Too organised...scarey woman...:eek:

Husky nicked the frozen salmon that my dad brought for her and has just finished lying in the snow gnawing away. I think she hopes a seal may pop its head up by the shed next and that's breakfast squared away.

Wow Mrs Organised - you may well just inspire me to clean my windows. The house looked dusty yesterday because of the reflection from the snow but couldn't be bothered - maybe tomorrow.....

Good Evening, I'm sooooo tired, I could just go to bed.
I slept in, so didn't get into the office until 7.30am - I aim for 7ish on a Monday.
My computer died almost straight away, so I had to use a colleague's.
Annoyingly, I couldn't get on the internet to print my Amazon stuff :mad: so couldn't post the book! Hope that doesn't affect my rating before I even start!

Almost managed another NSD (3 this month :j), but had to get my punture fixed and wheel changed = £10

After collecting the kids I got in at 6pm, straight into the kitchen with small child crying and clinging to my coat - that I didn't have time to take off :rolleyes: - whilst making dinner (fish fingers "dinner" :rolleyes:) and some 3 bean chilli for tomorrow night :A

Little DD wails until she is cuddled/fed. She hasn't been like that for the last few weeks and has made me realise she needs me for more than 1.5 hours a day......
I know things could be a lot worse (and I count my blessings) but there's got to be an easier way.....

Anyway, enough moaning. I need to do 15 mins decluttering tonight and list at least 2 things on Amazon/Ebay

Hope you've had a good day

Oh no, its so hard trying to work and then come home and be super mum.

I really feel for you. I worked full time for 90% of last year, and used to feel exhausted and once you get home from work its time to start again. I used to feel bad because the last thing I wanted to do was play and read stories because I was shattered and once I got them to bed still had all my other jobs to catch up on.

Is there any way you can get to leave earlier? Are you meant to go in so early?
Could you work your lunch and then leave earlier?

macgirl

Thanks Chops. Sadly I go in early because I do leave early:rotfl:
My commute is about an hour, so I have to leave before 5 to allow for heavy traffic as the nursery and after school club close at 6pm.
It won't be forever, but that's how it is for now.

Kids are now in bed, I've hoovered the stairs and landing, put in some washing and started the dishwasher. I was going to sack the listing tonight, but I've just seen how well others are doing and it's spurred me on - I :heartpuls MSE

Keep focusing on the not forever bit, when your debt free you will have so many more options!!

I've listed a couple more things on Ebay and another pile of books on Amazon.
Washing in dryer and other load done. So although no decluttering, a productive evening for a Monday.

Off to do my "night time routine", spend the rest of the BB bonus, then bed.

Your 'piddly' bits will add up to a lot though! Don't write them off.

Your commute in an hour & you aim to get in the office for 7am?! Are you wonder woman?!!!!!!

macgirl

Well I do wear big red knickers occasionally, so who knows!

Hello
I'm just back from work. I managed to get there, but about a foot of snow has fallen there overnight :eek: so I got some work and have come home - where another heavy fall has taken place!

It looks like it's down for the day, so I can play at being a freelancer for a while. Though I'm expecting to get the sledges out to pick up the kids later :rolleyes:
