Make an appointment for some ME-time.. hairdressers? manicure? night out with friends? .. whatever just do it! well I had the night out with friends on Thursday so that counts right?
Been a hectic week again hence no posting, work is turning manic, and I've had to put a lot of extra hours in. I've only posted the level ones list because although I did do a few other bits if I post the whole list I get demoralised so just the level ones list up and every now and again giving myself a tootsesque talking to about babysteps.
Had a lovely day yesterday at my DMs for her birthday. (fly free day, except helping out there making food and clearing up after her etc)
Today I have done a little but feeling a bit grotty, got a bit of a cold that has slowed me down but I have still:
WM x1
TD / hung washing up
DW
Meal planned
Shopped (groceries and a few christmas pressies in the sales)
Reorganised freezer
Had another passport piccie taken as they keep rejecting them. Hopefully this one will do as I need the passport in 8 weeks ... and counting!
Cleared the chairdrobe
Watched the GP
Decluttered tea and cake
Done a little holiday research, though lots more needed here.
Right HHTidy now...two, three, GO!

Hmm not much flying this week.
Did the kitchen on monday and then the bedroom yesterday, and loads of washing but not much else!
Told OH I needed help as I was just physically not able to work full time, do all the washing, cooking, food shopping, ironing and cleaning, as I was just too tired. His answer - go to bed earlier! Despite the fact that it's me clearing up all the cups, front room etc after everyone else decides to go to bed.
Debated doing the bathroom today but instead spent time on ebay looking for a nice new work bag and some new sandals
Anyway,
This evening, I will need to:-
Iron MY clothes for the week.
Make lunches for tomorrow.
Do one more lot of washing.
and I may or may not dust the front room - seeing how OH has trodden soil and grass in and then said he'll clean it up later.... and it's still not done and being walked through the room even further - and I borrowed a vax and spent 3 weeks cleaning all the carpets only a couple of months ago :mad:working on clearing the clutterDo I want the stuff or the space?0 -
Hi,
Since my last post i have
Unpacked shopping
Brought washing in
Put more out
Wm x 1
Cleaned & refilled Ds2's sand & water tray
Gave plants a tomato feed
Fed fish
Put tea on
Loaded dw
I'm just waiting for the lasagne to finish cooking. Ds2 was really good at laying the table on holiday so that can be his job. I've done 6 loads of washing today and there's still another load in the basket.:eek: I'll do that tomorrow now though. When Ds2 goes to bed I'm planning on watching the Eastenders omnibus whilst ploughing through the ironing.0 -
Evening all
It's been an ok day here. Mt Washmore has shrunk to the size of a molehill and I have learned that I'm rubbish at fitting carpets - DS2 has been given an offcut for the 'upstairs' of his playhouse and some very rough, durable stuff for downstairs- but I got the job done. Toys can move in tomorrow, if it doesn't rain.
One part of kitchen worktop is clean, and so is the top of the fridge. I've read with DS2 and flung a few pieces from around the house. Also managed an additional payment of £50 towards my CC, as it's payday tomorrow. :T I've also tried on some clothes and decided that I will NOT eat any chocolate, sweets, crisps, biscuits etc before we go away. Famous last words...
On with tea now, so I'll see you later. x0 -
A Plea
I don't know what time Piggers is planning to post the new thread but could you all please HOLD FIRE on posting on it until I've had a chance to grab post 2 for Toots?
Piggers - if you're reading this, a new thread about 9pm, once I've gotten dinner out the way would be lovely...I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

LondonWC~ I reckon it is not over as such yet, I bet there might be a 'meeting' about it, fine or points??
Both I hope. Makes a mockery of the rules if nothing happens.
House looking good after getting through today's list. Just need to put the last load of washing out, make dinner and tidy up afterwards and get packed lunch for tmw ready.
Then nestle down to watch the Poirot I recorded earlierProud to be dealing with my debt0 -
Utility room looking better.
Kitchen worktops cleared.
Rubbish all in bin.
DW been emptied and reloaded.
WM on.
Dirty clothes lifted.Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0 -
