    I have totally decluttered and dusted the dining room shelving unit. Not sure it was on any list but hey!
    Off to feed the little man and get the twins from school and then hopefully work some more magic as I seem to be in the zone today. I still need to pack orders and things but it so much more fun to focus on what you have done rather than what you haven't isn't it?

    well i managed to de clutter the CC a bit, i have just spent a completley stupid amount of money on flowers and various bits of parifinalia in order to plant them, then did the monthly shop, then checked the boots sale (nothing left that i could see) now to have a coffee and freeze the cottage pie

    I got the date of my appointment with the private consultant wrong. It was last night. I've made DH move heaven and earth to get home early tonight and now he doesn't need to. I now have to go on Monday at midday so please remind me as my brain has a black hole.

    Mumto5 - that is so the sort of thing i'd do! I once turned up to an appointment on the wrong day. Oops!
    Helen - hugs, february will be much better xx

    I've decluttered half a book and the house looks better from this mornings cleaning and tidying. DS will be home in five minutes and then it's a million clubs etc (why is everything on a Thursday?).

    Will try and do some more flying later xx

    Afternoon all!

    I've been very lax with flying this week. i had a migraine when I got home from work on Monday & spent Mon & Tues afternoons in bed.
    Had the day off work yesterday as it was still niggling - all AF related.
    I'm annoyed with myself really cos my lovely DD is 18 on Sunday & we're having lots of family round for tea, so I wanted to do lots of baking & freezing in advance & also keep on top of the flying. Looks like I'll be very busy on Saturday instead :mad:

    Oops Mumto5 :) Don't worry you are not alone. That is the sort of thing I do. I went to the surgery one day and sat waiting for an hour until the receptionist asked me if I was waiting for someone. I had gone a day early.
    I am just watching 'Love the Place you are in' dusting during ads then will be ready for a proper HHC.
