    This was my first week, have been extra tired maybe the clocks change?
    I have managed to do a lot of filing and recycling of paperwork but not much else I'm afraid, planning to be much better next week, I'll be more disciplined.
    So much to do at the moment feels like no time to clean and DH doesn't clean either which makes me feel why bother, although I know that's not helpful it's where I am at the moment.
    Have a good day everyone

  • Good to see you back toots and glad the treatment went more smoothly.
  • Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a good night's sleep. It quietened down here reasonably early last night, but nothing would have kept me awake last night. I was absolutely shattered.
    I'm having a nice slow day today. It's cold, wet and windy here, so I'm going to make a nice big pan of soup and cosy beside the fire this morning.
    May go into town this afternoon if the weather picks up.

    I'm pleased to hear things went well toots.

    Good to see you back Toots

    Stuck in waiting for a delivery, argos don't seem to issue tracking numbers so I can't even check if it is actually out for delivery. Things I need to be doing like collecting my supposedly repaired car, and taking DS2 to the opticians to see if it is a miracle cure to lefthandedness and mirror writing.

    Bedding is off and in the WM. I still need to hoover everywhere, and the kitchen is horrid. The boys have done the playroom and hoovered it, and cleared their bedroom floor!

  • Morning flygang,

    DH & mate decluttered to training day, DS having a quiet 30 mins on the pooter whilst I organise our day.

    Tutoring
    Make shopping list
    Rather a lot of washing (looks a good drying day so am doing extra)
    Lidl/Aldi/butchers
    Library
    Set up church/school/hall for tomorrow
    Get parcel shelf out of dining room :o (may be radical and put it back in the car)
    3 x HHI
    Assorted weeding/chopping back in the garden
    Cover last few shoeboxes
    And fill them!
    Sort out all website papers - make a plan of action for updates

    OK - we have an hour and a half before tutoring - what can I get done? Back later,

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Morning everyone,
    Upstairs is spotless, but downstairs has disintegrated into mess and I have a friend coming for coffee at 9.30 on Monday :eek: so I need to whip round. Wont take long though. Will have a look at my lists and see what else can be done.

    No accidents so far this morning, and Ollie actually said "I need a wee" rather than just squeaking and making a funny face. I guess that's progress? :rotfl:

    Love to everyone, take it steady Toots and anyone else feeling a bit delicate x
    So, there are these boys,
    They kinda stole my heart,
    They call me Mummy
