So now i can see where i'm up to and what i have left to do :cool:

Chilli making will be tomorrow - meat not yet defrosted and i'm going out for tea :j although a bit as i have no money for this but needs must

So I'll do last corner of storage now, work bag and then all the bits that have accumulated due to all furniture coming out :eek: Feel a cuppa is in order first though :coffee:

When OH is back he can help me put bedding on - i cannot manage this on my own and considering i do all the other jobs as can be seen he'll have to just show willing :cool:

Then a shower is in order - i've not eaten since breakfast so am rather peckish just now - the sooner i'm ready the sooner i'll have my meal :T - best get my skates on then

jwil

Wow, I'm impressed!

Enjoy your meal out this evening.

Am pleased with all that i achieved yesterday :T May have to get some new outside storage, so first things first lunch a cuppa :coffee:

DedicatedDFW

Ahem... that didn't go quite to plan :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Ended up going out for a mightily happy walk - took over 2 hours i think, with a little break in the middle at a fab cafe for a spot of lunch :T

Then got some new storage organised - but didn't do anything with this as i had a bit of an impromptu bbq so all good really :j

Now for a curl up on the sofa and a movie methinks :cool: Its so much nicer though after the huge clearout and clean that i had in here :T

Must remember that tomorrow and get up early to sort out the outside storage which will again make a massive difference to our home :T

Did get 1 or 2 other jobs done such as decluttering of cookery books - which was actually me sat drooling over fab recipes - some seem very, very straightforward too - 2 ingredients anyone :T:T:T this has inspired me to cook something new each week i have done chilli this week so will look up a new recipe for next week

Have been wanting to make some jam for ages too so will probably be on the lookout for a pan now

Well i had a lovely loooong lie-in this morning so was later getting going than i wanted to be but really wanted the storage to be done. Did it then had to empty it and re-do it meant this probably took over an hour - maybe even 2 with lots of carrying and bending and lifting - but its all done now and i feel loads better for it too

Now i've got a cuppa so think i'll take a look at paints whilst having a little break so that'll get something else off my list and will do pots when OH starts his early tea When i do my tea i'll do the peppers then too.

So still some bits to be done but it is all shaping up nicely :T Ooh i may even go for a run in a bit - we'll see though i always struggle with when to eat when i run :think:

Aaaaargh!

Need to post this now and then refer back to it :eek::mad:

So, so, so need to lose weight! Massively frustrated about this just at the moment. If i could afford a gym membership i wouldn't have the time to go with working 2 jobs and you think all the rushing about i do must burn off plenty of calories but to be so much heavier than i am usually :eek::eek::eek: i know that my thyroid problem is not helping but i now need to think about everything i eat and consciously work to keep fit no matter how run down i feel.

Need to do my money post tomorrow :cool: definitely need to be running and doing sit-ups - both free exercise
