Sat/Sun 15th/16th January - What small DFW things will you do today?!

stitching_witch

Good morning all. I didn't want to get up this morning, but the chickens needed feeding so I dragged myself out of bed. The regulars will know this is a rare occasion as usually I'm wide awake at stupid o'clock!

So far today:

• checked banking
• checked for surveys
• fed and watered chickens and let them out to free-range
• organised bills to be paid in next few days

I will also:

• clean out chickens and ask for some eggies
• start making 50th birthday present for my best friend
• trawl through freezer to find something for dinner today
• try to encourage DH to put a couple of bits on Ebay
• have an NSD

Not feeling very inspired at the moment, perhaps I need a large dose of DNMS!!

Good morning :wave: yay its the weekend and time to relax and please ourselves :j I hope EVERYONE on the thread puts down at least one thing that is soul nurturing and just for fun/happiness! Can we actually believe we're already half way thru Jan????


Anyway thought I'd quickly start us off before the forum is down :rotfl: (I'm like an addict who can't get enough)

• [STRIKE]get salmon out of freezer for tea tonight[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]chicken in fridge to defrost for tomorrow[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]going to spa today :j:j:j - very DFW I paid for tickets last month (lastminute.com deal so £10 for 2 of us and includes a facial for me :T)[/STRIKE] twas lovely :dance:
  
• [STRIKE]oh is paying for petrol[/STRIKE]
• check tyre pressure
• [STRIKE]have brekkie before we go, take sandwiches in case we get starving! [/STRIKE]
• play scrabble later & drink free bottle of wine :T
• [STRIKE]go through fridge/freezer/cupboards and work out meal plan/shopping list for next week[/STRIKE]
• have 1 NSD
• check for surveys
• [STRIKE]go for a run tomorrow [/STRIKE] longest run I have done so far, 40 mins feeling very achey now!

ok that'll do me hope you all have a fab day & I'll see you on the other side :rotfl:

I have also:

• pinched a load of dermatological samples from the spa to do home facials over the next month or so :o but also :T
• took x2 sugar sachets & will stash in cupboard for lean times :rotfl:

Morning everyone :wave: Sunday's here and depsite the fact that I have had a barny with both my oh & ds I intend to make the most of it and be happy! as well as the above I will also:

• [STRIKE]make banana cake to use up browning banana + 1 in the freezer & bake while the oven is on to get the most out of the cost of the oven! [/STRIKE]
• clean my car thoroughly so it is sparkling and no longer smells of ciggarettes! nope but will do before work tomorrow
• 15 mins on the hula hoop after my run nope
• froze leftovers enough for a fast food roast in the week

Ok re being positive. The course I went on was delivered by a guy called Michael Heppell - he's a motivational speaker, and was soooo inspiring - he's written a couple of books one is called "How to be brilliant" and another (do a search on amazon), I would 100% recommend getting the How to be brilliant (out of the library of course ) and reading it. I will also paste some of the tools I was given to help you achieve this later today - there's a wheel of life that I found really ulimnating! (sp?) and a couple of others. there was a lot about how you can use language to help you feel more positve, ok will stop banging on and post it so you can see for yourselves!

off to have some porridge & then go for a run x

Tell yourself you are inspired and wish you had.... (you fill in the gap)

Not much to report from here this weekend as I have mostly been in:

Work four hours at Domino's tonight (had to pick up a second job recently but it's really easy - albeit minimum wage - money!)
Charge up Sat Nav for above job
Sit in and catch up on queued TV last night rather than go out
Pick the herbs for the week and freeze half
Do clothes on quick wash
Call friends in USA before weekend is over so calls are free
Cancel O2 broadband from next month and move to a cheaper plan

Morning all! Hope everyone is well?

Been quite busy already this morning...

• Dusted and hoovered house
• Put dry washing away
• Taken dog for a good run in the park before the predicted monsoon!
• Bathed dog and brushed him out - very curly so this takes ages:(
• Cleaned kitchen

To do....

• Clean bathrooms after I've had a bath/shower
• One load of washing after OH has been for a run so no sweaty stuff ponging the house out
• Mark 10 exam papers
• Maybe mark a set of year 7 books - not very taxing but time consuming
• Maybe pop to Trafford Centre to exchange an unwanted xmas gift and see if there's anything in Next I fancy to spend a gift card on - so no real spending!
• Make cheese and potato pie (with sausages for OH) for tea

That's it for now - better get in the shower!

Hi everyone :wave:

Good to see the thread so busy.

Had a lovely long lie this morning - probably after my lovely lush filled bath last night Ahh.

Hoping not to do too much today and hopefully an NSD :T

Put something in the slow cooker and might make some soup later too.

Hopefully get round to a bit of knitting at some point too.

Catch up throughout the day I'm sure xx

Good advice there.



Just a thought but if it is a small group of people asking for you to do job after job after job I have a great line that seems to cut the requests down...

You want me to prioritise this over (insert another job they want yesterday)?

Worked for me with a boss who wanted everything yesterday and in triplicate but you need to repeat it a few times till they get the idea.

Today I'm seriously in need of a kick up the bum. am wide awake and have been for an hour but can't get going on anything. I should go out for a run but need to eat first, otherwise I'll feel sick but just can't get my backside together to get going. ho hum

This sounds like it could work, but what about when it's several people each asking just one thing of me, then another when I have rushed to get that one done? (& the cycle continues!) They all seem to think what they need me to do is the most important.

Thank you though :T I will be using there wherever possible!

*Kicks up the bum* Come on have you at least had something to eat yet?

I think I will be googling this! Thank you, looking forward to seeing the tools you post later.

I forgot to ask by the way - how was your spa day?
