  • Today, I have tried to carry on trying to achieve an organised home. So far I have:

    Put washing on line
    Done an hour of ironing
    Sorted airing cupboard
    Paid a load of bills
    Sorted paperwork and done lots of filing/shredding
    Tidied the dining room

    Not as impressive as what I achieved yesterday:o

    Just going to do a bit more ironing, clean kitchen and then walk dogs:)

    DS1's room done, he is just sorting out another pile of paper and stuff to recycle
    DS3's tidy - off to clean that next
    DS2 is having a major sort out by the look of things, I'll clean once he's done
    Washing on the line

    Just having a cuppa and then I must do the paperwork before DS3's room as I need to get something in the post.

    DD1 has been to her ME course - it was quite interesting - pointing out how you can still be making your muscles work even if you're sitting down. We were shown some postures which will rest the muscles more!

    Pushed DD1 into town where we met DD2 and did some shopping before coming back in a taxi.

    Am pleased to report that whilst DDs lunched from a local bakers I stuck to my slimming world principles and munched some....raw mushrooms - I am very proud of not having eaten anything unhealthy!

    Have picked up prescription, booked hair appt and done 3 loads of washing. DDs watching last nights Eastenders then DD2 and I will construct a healthy, slimming world suitable curry for tea (and no I will not be having nan bread or any other temting Indian side dishes).

    Off to s&s the living room!
    :jFlylady and proud of it:j

    Well, one appointment with the vet made. I had to clean the utility area floor again when I got in. She's feeling quite warm too, so hopefully a dose of antibs will sort her out - poor love

    2 boys have lost some hair and are looking better for it. :rotfl:
    Birthday pressie got and a food shop done (never again am i going in). :eek:
    Come home to find hubby sleeping while he was suppose to be looking after 3 kiddies. :mad: He went back to sleep as i was unpacking the food shop.

    Soappie oh no, when Bo was unwell the vet gave stuff (like a brown glue in a tube) to help it be solid.
    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.

    Not done much today - had niece over for sleepover last night and have got a stinking cold, so by the time she left, my two were ready for a sleep and for the three hours they slept i SOADFA :D:T:D

    Actually, that's not quite true. I watched TV, caught up with lots of competitions and stuffed my face :cool:

    Hope everyone is OK - have not read back but will do some of it tonight. (((hugs))) if you need them and polite handshakes and well wishes if you don't like hugs :D
