    Hi all, work is going ok but I'm completely shattered after only 3 days :o Plus I may have to walk to work next week as I only have two day bus tickets left :( Still should lose some of this extra weight.

    So far today I have dusted and hoovered the bedroom, tidied the front room (twice - kids!) and cleaned all the worktops down, been to lidl to get some shopping. I have done 2 loads of washing and 3rd is in the machine - it's sun, white clouds, black clouds, sun etc here alternately.

    As for my list....grr.gif

    I'm giving it up, otherwise I'll end up like this HSlostmind.gifmind-blowing.gifHSlostmind.gifdizzy2.gifhelp.gif


    Hope everyone is ok and hugs to all who need them. Catch up later.... I'm thinking it must be about wine o'clock now.
    :D

    Well I decluttered all of my old timesheets and fax reports before I headed out this afternoon. Got about 100 feet up the canal towpath and one of the fishermen advised me to turn back, as the police had found a body there and the towpath was closed!:eek:

    So wandered back home, and then took the car into town, and tried to do as much walking whilst I was there as possible. Went to our haberdashery and they have the perfect pink flower there, but at £6.99, I'm not going to go for it, as I'd still have to get the brooch backing and work out how to attach the two together. Am holding out for New Look's sale as well, as no doubt I'll be able to get the ivory corsage in the sale. I resisted Starbucks, and had a healthy lunch from Boots' meal deal (carrot and houmous sandwich, a bio yoghurt pot and a frijj).

    Haven't been home long, as had to buy Moon some oranges, which suddenly appeared on the list last night, after I'd already done 2 food shops. rolleye0010.gif

    Moon has just gone next door to MIL to talk to her about Tuesday, and he's just called me to tell me to come round for a cup of tea. Will let you know how it goes.

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Pitched another load of rubbish.

    Filled a bin bag of clothes for car boot.

    Shoes sorted.

    DD2 is busy sorting out her clothes and stuff, she's being quite ruthless too.

    WM 4 is on now and DS2 and I have started a batch of Easi yo. It's years since I last used it and it's greek yogurt, so I'm looking forward to it. It should go well with my breakfast in the morning.

    DH has brought steak/corned beef slices, a cucumber and tomatoes from the market (he works in town) and I'll go to Mr M's in a bit for some basics.

    DS2 is currently tidying his toys in the LR. He likes to have a time, so I've set the alarm on my phone for 15 minutes. He's doing well and didn't complain when I refused to help. He has an ulterior motive, though. When the floor is a bit clearer I'll hoover, and then he can have his farm toys out. DS1 is out and about. He kind of tricked me earlier and I'm not best pleased - fed up with undelivered papers cluttering up the LR.
