    The new study idea of staying at work is great. When I left you yesterday I had 9025 words, not I have 11888 so have 112 to get to the minimum word count :D
    Going away with work tomorrow for 11 days, should have plenty of time to get it sorted so see you when I get back

    I only got halfway through yesterdays list :( That's my first two days only getting halfway.

    I'm going to aim for only Level 1 today - maybe I'm just trying to jump in a bit higher than I should be aiming for at the moment! I feel very lazy seeing how much housework others are able to do - I'm really finding it hard!



    keep at level 1 for a while then when it suddenly taked less time incorporate more high level jobs - oh and if you can (and need to;)) de-clutter.

    Posting my 'To do' list for the day:

    Pick up dd's bike from Halfords - At lunchtime
    I thought that said Harrods and thought we had been joined by a Duchess or summat...

    washing has been out all day so it will no doubt be like crisps...

    HM soup in the SC was nice though!

    Oh dear, been awol for a couple of weeks and the house is suffering. Had a good excuse last week as it was my birthday :jand DD came home for in time for it. Had lovely day in London with trip to see a favourite play 'War Horse'. If you want to see some brilliant theatre I thoroughly recommend it.Based on Micheal Morpurdo childrens book the horses are 'played' by lifesize puppets with 3 puppeteers to each horse. It almost defies description.
    Tomorrow back to house work and will attempt to catch up on the thread... however DH now 'working' from home so not too much catching up on computer is likely to happen.
    DH really unhappy at work and is thinking about career change - however, how do you do that whilst ensuring you earn enough to pay the bills etc which have all been based on a relatively good salary?:cool:

    Still working thorugh my list, and doesn't look like I have got much done! Yikes - just shows how much time I actually waste on the Internet. Both boys have been fed, watered and are in bed.

    DS1 has been right grumpy today, and just not listening to a word, and putting my back up. He hid DS2's comfort blanket, and then couldn't remember where he'd put it - I was beginning to lose my rag, as DS2 won't sleep with out it. He finally found it stuffed under his bed, and then he was a little angel for the 10 minutes before bedtime. Proper Jackyll & Hyde!!

    Anyways I'm gonna carry on in our bedroom. DH should be home soon, so he can finish off in the kitchen and I know he'll make me a lovely cuppa - I'm parched!

    Happy flying everyone! - Will catch up tomorrow, or else I'll get nothing done...

    Housework only gets noticed when it's not done.
    My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them.
    Can never keep up with the thread - otherwise I'll never get anything done! But hugs to All :grouphug:
