KC on the sun waking you up early, what about the sleep blindfolds like you get on longhaul planes.

Can you take fennel from cuttings KC? Because I've got a HUGE healthy plant you can have some of if you want! Bah - if you'd caught me yesterday before I dug out all the seedlings all over my vegetable bed you could have had some of those - pah!

Aww, Cheery, thank you. I don't *think* you can take it from cuttings. But the seeds seem to be very prolific, at least they were in my chalky soil last year - I didn't plant the ones I brought with me from my old house, I swept my path and put the sweepings in the front garden, which had a bit of a dip by a newly-rebuilt wall. And they grew themselves When yours set seed, I might beg some seedhead off you, pretty please

No need, se, don't worry - the curtains I'll be putting up later this week are already very good quality, and they're lined with blackout material I painstakingly sewed into them - I had the same problem at my previous house, where the bedroom window faced south east, and was even bigger (and less shaded) than the one I have now.

Today, I have no paid work like Friday :eek: so the list is fairly ginormous as I have all that time. I will go out for an ordinary walk at some stage - I *might* use that to post a little ebay parcel of trading cards - but I might just take a potter :beer: and otherwise there are 18 items on my to do list _pale__pale__pale_ I think I'll post a ta-da list on here, rather than a to do, and then it looks like I'm more virtuous than I really am :D:D

Good luck with the ginormous list. I like the idea of decluttering brandy... oops to the side effects though!

I could have sworn I came back on here yesterday after I posted!!! What on earth? Well, the list is still in existence, so this is my ta-da list:
- checked Tesco Clubcard DD and cancelled, since I've just written off to close the account.
- sent mortgage money to France.
- tidied.
- rang client.
- cooked beans in slow cooker.
- printed stuff - for my mum, for two address changes.
- emailed re address changes.
- made CD of wedding photos for mum.
- blogged.
- got little ebay parcel ready.
- made pdf of new work leaflet, and sent it to partner.
- tidied again.
- walked to main post office (got side tracked talking to neighbour - this ended up taking an hour on its own :eek:)

Today its the post office, more address changes, cleaning the old laptop and storing it properly, going to a routine medical thingy, doing more on the plasterwork, one hour paid work, more charitizing. Desperate for it to include more garden work, but realistically I don't think thats going to happen

That sounds like a productive day to me! How's your weather at the moment for gardening?

:wave:Morning KC - that was quite the list!

Hope you are having another lovely productive day!

Oh I do love a good tada list and that one is exceptional. Read your blog yesterday and it sounds like you have made friends there at your local tip

thanks for the reminder I need to head out to the post office at some point today.

Hi there! Thank you all! My lists have to be read in the context of how few hours I do paid work, you know :o:o

Well, not quite as productive today, but not bad - the work went well, the CD, the ebay parcel, and the French bank form are all posted off, and I went to the routine medical thingy

The weather is quite grey skyed here right now - not as blowy as it has been - I might go stand on the patio, but no way am I actually *doing* anything, I deserve a pat on the back just for continuing to breathe at the moment :cool: I might actually do some accounts sorting if I feel like it. Or I might just experiment with a glass of cider brandy

Sounds like a very productive day. With the daily list, sometimes its better to break things down into little chunks then you don't get sidetracked. If I put 'clean living room' I 'll get easily distracted, but if I break it down into areas, I can be a bit more focussed.
