Morning all! Being an insomniac who is always up around 6.00, I had a shock this morning as I kept drifting back to sleep and finally crawled out of bed at 9.00!! I think I needed that
Mind you, the chickens were thinking I'd left the country!
So far today:- caught up on much needed sleep
- checked banking - looks much healthier now salary has gone in
- had HM jam on toast for breakfast
- fed and watered chickens
- look after DGD from 11 to 2.15
- go straight from DD's to a visit a friend for the afternoon
- have lunch at DD's so use her food

- dinner from stores
- have an NSD
- write my goals list for August

Morning everyone! :hello:
Everyone seems very productive this morning....like Fay I have been up for a while but needed my cuppa before I could formulate a list! Hubby was out quite late last night and as I am a silly worrier I couldn't really settle until he was home and safe, so actually two of my items were cleared off my list at midnight last night!!! I will include them on the list though and self-righteously strike them out because I like doing that
