I'm in thanks ladies

Helen J great news!!

Perfect start but can I ask a diddy favour, master bedrooms - can it be Tuesday or Wednesday please to give the kick up the bumbum I need please I don't think I'll do it otherwise, how sad am I?!

I've got all day meetings Thursday and Friday, well presentations, one being the massively important launch f a joint disability strategy signed up to by our local authority, PCT, Parents and young people PROMISING to work together on developments, something we can really hold them to and the director we just ambushed for want of a better word, lol will be there! Anyway that means busy busy!

My Wednesday morning is emergency CAMHs appointment for DS1 who isn't in a good place mentally at present which is very stressful. It's also his goodbye appointment with his lead who is retiring, so will be tears all round. Monday and Tuesday are days off but my study calendar is available from tomorrow so will be 'planning' my studying in addition to the lists

My extras for tomorrow

Call insurance to cancel on sold car
Post cards and DVLA form saying we have sold the car - must remember to take a copy of the details incase they loose this one - happened before
Pay garage rent and enquire about availability of others
Work out study calendar - *mission impossible music*
Start a presentation - maybe see if I can cross some work over
Meal plan
Financial planning/money shuffling/bill paying
See what pennies we have for a suitable present for DS1s lead, I'm not the present giving type for service providers but shes always gone above and beyond

hex, serena and dusty will all have LOTS of ideas for you They helped me lots with mine last year. Think courtyard garden... I found it useful to have some A2 paper and tracing paper to draw up plans on and work out the hard landscaping. Admittedly it isn't finished yet, but that's partly due to work last year. I should be able to get it all planted up with what I've got this year so that it's looking good ready to sell the house in the spring.

I'm going to TRY to fly this week. And to do my tax return. Kitchen definitely needs doing tomorrow as its rather sticky after the cake making/decorating yesterday. However, it did at least use up some stuff, so I guess it helps with the decluttering!

Thanks Greenbee Good idea about the paper and planning. I need to have a strategy, and writing it down with plans will help, so that's the first step forward. Decluttering to be done first though- (there is such an amount of nonsense out there) and then a decent garden plan involving lots of scented plants through all seasons.
I've also gained permission to have the walled garden for another year or so, so that's definitely going to be taking up some time!
(flying with you on the tax return)

Sounds lovely... you can spend dull wet evenings and weekends drawing up plans and working out what you need to cultivate in your walled garden ready for your new courtyard garden once it is decluttered and ready for planting.

I have a deadline in my diary for the tax return of wed pm. And I know once I start it won't actually take long!

Router is about to shut down (it has a power save, so no late-night wireless). I've done a bit of work, so time to head of for bed now so I'm ready for my 9am meeting ... with OH (about work)... which will take a lot of mental and emotional strength.

Wishing you well for tomorrow greenbee hope it goes well dearie.
Going to start the decluttering, with resolve, the flylady way, tomorrow morning. Just a half hour from my day, but it will be a start and make me feel better.

Now i'm confused, High temp light has gone off on my freezer???? Its messing with my head... Will see how it is tomorrow.

If you were out earlier in the day, maybe you have had a power cut and not known about it ?

Anyway to check with neighbours or check the microwave clock, mine resets to 0 when we trip our 'leccy.
