    Plan for today includes mainly the dining room:

    [STRIKE]Boxes to charity shop[/STRIKE] 4 boxes and a bag taken
    [STRIKE]Meals from stores[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]HC[/STRIKE]
    Clothes away in relevant wardrobe
    Clear out boxes in dining room mostly done
    [STRIKE]Start a new "for charity shop" box[/STRIKE] and taken to charity shop :D
    [STRIKE]Bag up some more clothes for selling[/STRIKE]
    Check banks
    Clear off dining table nearly there
    [STRIKE]Move clutter around piano so DD can actually practice[/STRIKE]we need a piano stool I think
    [STRIKE]Move bikes out of dining room[/STRIKE] unfortunately they are now in the kitchen :o
    [STRIKE]Clear away DH's tools off the dining room windowsill[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Ask DH to attach doors to new cupboards[/STRIKE] asked and completed ;)
    Clear paperwork off coffee table
    [STRIKE]DD piano lesson after school[/STRIKE]
    Meeting tonight at church DH already gone. I don't need to go til 7
    [STRIKE]Pair up socks (we have a box full of odd ones :eek:)[/STRIKE]

    List is looking good. I will do the banks when I get back from the meeting. DH had to go early to meet the elders and the people who are checking the books then I'm going to the general meeting at 7pm.

    The clothes are all sorted into different piles. They just need to make their way upstairs. Will probably do the kids' piles tomorrow. DH and I will do ours when we go up to bed. Coffee table has taken second place to the dining room today.

    We have done well today but could do better so another go at it tomorrow is needed. DS is not in nursery tomorrow so it will take longer as I will need to work around him.

    Right, off to get kiddies into their pyjamas.

    Phew am I tired this morning!

    Meeting went well last night. Two guys came and both were very keen to meet me as they had heard good things about the work I've been doing with the youth. The one wants to meet with me to discuss my long term plans and hinted that they would definitely be looking to renew my funding when this lot runs out. :j

    List today is going to be a lot smaller than yesterday as DS is home with me.

    [STRIKE]Check banks[/STRIKE]
    Clothes upstairs
    [STRIKE]Email agenda for meeting[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Telephone SH[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Move craft box from dining room[/STRIKE]
    Sweep dining room
    [STRIKE]Meals from stores[/STRIKE]

    I'd like to put "afternoon nap" on there too but I'm not convinced DS will be quiet enough for me to go ;) :rotfl:

    Good grief woman - you've decimated that list - yesterdays AND todays! Impressive stuff. Great news too about the funding for your project most likely being renewed - and how brilliant to know that people have noticed what a great job you've been doing. :T

    Good luck for the afternoon nap! ;)

    Thanks EH I've been reading up on positive attitudes so I'm trying to be proactive rather than just moaning about stuff all the time. It's working at the moment so must hold onto it for as long as possible :D

    Yes it is good news that people are noticing what I'm up to. Well the right people anyway. I love my job and would like to stay doing what I am doing. But that is dependant on the funding coming through so got to keep up the good work ;)

    Money news £6 arrived in account from PayPal so moved it across to the loan :T

    Morning all. Just a quick one this morning before I go to church so that someone else can make me breakfast ;)

    I have a lot to do today so need a list

    [STRIKE]Coffee morning[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]All clothes upstairs[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Clear paperwork off coffee table[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Toys back upstairs[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Clear last bits off dining table[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Sweep dining room[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Sweep front room[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Check banks[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Meals from stores[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Pop to chemist[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Ring 2nd job about having a day off in September[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Print off agenda and last minutes for meeting tonight[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Up the school later to watch pretend wedding DD's class is doing[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]DD has friend coming for tea[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]DD netball[/STRIKE]
    Run club
    [STRIKE]Meeting[/STRIKE]

    That'll do for now I think. Must dash as DH has taken the car so I have to get the bus to church this morning. Oh how much easier it would be if we went to the church that is only 2 doors down instead of 2 miles away :rotfl:

    Hope you all have a good day x

    Haha yes! It got waylaid on Monday as the dining room took an age, then yesterday was taken up with playing with DS and also having a really good sort out of all the wardrobes. But I have a meeting tonight and due to childcare issues I'm hosting it here :eek: so I need the coffee table clear. I can't let people see how I usually live :eek:

    Although I'm not sure I'm cut out for paper based activities. I have now lost count of the amount of paper cuts I have :o is it possible to suffer death by paper cut?? It was probably safer to just leave it all on the coffee table :rotfl:

    Good news for your project there Starnac! :j :j :j

    And isn't there some kind of ancient saying about 'death by a thousand cuts'?? Maybe this is what they were talking about :eek: :eek: :rotfl:

    Loving that list.

    :) good luck tonight.

    I cleared the dining/office table on Friday - I had not a clue it was so big.

    :)

    Five frocks sitting in a box - they WILL make it to the PO before I move house.

    :)
