I like todays list. DS2 and I have tidied the playroom and hoovered the ground floor already.DH has announced he is stopping drinking and smoking and taking up exercise :eek::eek::eek:. Not looking forward to this
.
Ex Mr Jo felt the need to contact me to - and has done several times.....He got back with her, what the heck does he want me to say?? Muppet.
Lay in bed reading so didn't get up till 2pm. Pity, as it's a lovely sunny day, but then I know part of the reason I didn't bother is because the house is somewhat chaotic and has been since I got back after christmas... so... plan of action is to start in the least bad bit and work my way through over the weekend (I have visitors next weekend).
Off to shower and then decide whether to pop out briefly for a change of scene before getting down to the hard work. A bit of a blitz with cleaning and decluttering will get the new year off to a good start.0 -
