  • Hmm, I think my morning routine might be it for me today :(

    Had a lovely lunch with mum and the kids in the park, and am off out this evening to a friend's engagement party, so at least the housework is not getting done due to good causes!

    Roll on the weekend :)

    Didn't get much done from the list today but have been doing lots of ironing and washing as seemed to have loads to catch up on. Also yesterday didn't do very well with the list but made sure the living room was tidy again as my friends came round to visit. (I seem to tidy and sweep the living room every other day at the moment!) In addition to that there isn't much point tidying my bedroom up at the moment as it is still half finished (and a bit of a building site). Might get my DH on the job this weekend to see if he can finish a bit more of it! And will try and catch up on my lists this weekend so I am ready for next week!

    Thursday - Master bedroom & landing DONE

    Dailies and bedroom done before I went to my voluntary job.

    One load of washing in and have had a quick tidy everywhere.

    Hugs for everyone specially Toots. Lady L. Diva and LW.


  • Shoes glorious shoes!

    Why is it I am a size 6 in boots - every single kind from walking boots properly measured, knee high boots, ankle boots and trainers. Then in shoes they are too big and a 5 is too small and a 5.5 is too small?

    Blummin feet and shoes

    Off to make some tea in court shoes now

    I have made myself a weekend list. It is not much but they are things I normally can't be bothered to do. I have Monday off and it will mean I can start with a clean slate on the flying front rather than playing catch up all the time.

    I am feeling quite emotional at the mo. OHs visitor has been this evening to help him with some motorbike stuff. I met him for the first time (even though he has lived 4 houses away for 5 years!) and he said what a lovely woman I was. OH has just said he loves me and really appreciates all I do for him and wants to make sure I know. He said he feels really proud when people say those sorts of things. He also said how proud he is of the promotion I got last year and how hard I am working for the next one. It is really nice to feel loved and appreciated. Sorry for sharing it but it has made me really happy :D
