    Thanks :) It's up on my wall now :)

    Got to a point where I feel full of ideas and plans but not getting to that point where I'm doing it. Seem to be slipping backwards almost and that just leads to frustration.

    So going to make a positive list - maybe post it on here just for my motivation!! :)

    Whoops!! Just opened MGs diary to read through and not got much done at all.

    Soooo

    Plan of action!! Inspired by the amount of stuff she gets done and I'm only a little of the way into the diary.

    To do (I know not many peeps might read this/find this interesting but it helps me lol)
    1. Washing -put load in, swap over etc etc
    2. Put away clothes in piles in various parts of the house
    3. Find some scraps of material to make little over the shoulder bag with Sophia
    4. Sort out computer, find out why it's not switching on (the desktop), connect printer, swap cartridges so I can print out flyers for peeps from MGs list
    5. Work out why tv isn't working, connect all necessary bits, sort out dvds and dig out exercise videos so easily accessible to start new exercise plan
    6. washing up & away
    7. once lamb done in slow cooker, make stew for week & freezer
    8. tidy dd's room with her
    9. Do homework with both kids
    10. list legoland tickets on ebay
    11. make one little payment a day to debt - even if just a pound!
    12. tidy my bedroom
    13. change bed linen
    14. ring mate for a catch up natter
    15. clear dining room table
    16. make plan for week
    17. menu plan for week too
    18. dig wool out for half sister's blanket for her baby (started months ago and baby nearly born!!)
    19. hoover sofa and upstairs
    20. have a cup of tea to get over the shock of this list!!!!!
    Hmm...

    Watch this space!! :D
