5. Take down rotten shed
6. Get a greenhouse
7. Increase running mileage to half marathon level (6mths 0 to 6miles June 10 - Dec 10 now Jan 11 - June '11 6 miles to 12 miles aiming for 1yr progress level)
8. Invite family over for meal at all occasions and maybe every month or 2
9. Preserve seasonally

Not much flying done this week due to attempting to get some studying done - not much done here either :eek: Roll on the end of Jan for a little rest from this and can tackle some of my list

Anyway I have tidied the LR, swept and mopped the kitchen and bathroom floor, wiped down worksurfaces, vacced LR and stairs and countless WM, changed and washed bedding.

Have set up my CC repayment plan at last and made the first payment. Ho hum tum ti tum, will take a while and I will get there, the first of many

Morning all been quite productive today.

I've got half an hour before I go back out to pick up DS1 so need to grab something to eat as I'm hungry again.

Later:
Ironing
finish cleaning bathroom
HHG with DS2 helping

I'm going to also go around the house later inspired by Toots master list and do a flying list to be completed before the end of January :eek: I need a deadline or things will simply stay on the list.

Norfolk so too far for me to help with bits. Such a horrid situation to be in, regardless of how they got there.

Serena - I was wrong! My orange Witch hazel is absolutely covered, both honeysuckes are flowering and smell wonderful (winters beauty and fragrantissima), and I have one lonely cyclamen flower with many many more about to. Plenty of signs of snowdrops to come, plus lots of hellebores complete with unopened flower heads. Cheered me up a lot despite it being very cold and windy out there. The honeysuckles are by the paths so they couldnt have been flowering yesterday or we would have noticed.

A brief trip to BnQ yesterday for some plastic storage drawer towers. Pefect for toys - 4 for £60. I wanted to get them a few weeks ago but they wouldn't fit in the Mazda. I am going to go through all the boxes in the boys bedrooom and anything that doesn't fit can go. They need a bookcase as well. Time for a plan, or an epic Toots syle list in my shiney new organised mum diary. (ETA Snap Dusty!)

Hello peeps,

Hugs to all the poorlies - I havent read fred as I'm way behind with everything although today is a better day than yesterday .

Have

• folded one lot of clothes
• WM & TD on
• Been and successfully done the weekly shop on my new greatly reduced budget
• Filled the car with budgeted amount of petrol and planned to last the week, so if Dh uses it he will have to top it up

Now need to crack on with other stuff. I have hoovering, baking, dusting to do and all the food shop to food away but need to have a cuppa first - anyone else :coffee:

pigpen

Hi Folks

Today Flying includes my DH too :j

So far we have taken tiddy peeps to the park for fresh air, dashed home as we thought a storm was coming.

Emptied and cleaned conservatory, floor was so wet it looked like we had had a flood. Have moved borrowed dehumidfier down stairs. Have decided to purchase own as it has collected so much water in a couple of days.

DH has also mended DS1' bike. He is now ironing

I have found some lost items and have cleared a messy shelf unit.

2 loads washing done. I saved about £25 this week by changing supermarkets.

I am just about to try to move itunes library to an external hard drive.
