I agree with greenbee mix it with fennel tea or try it with mint.
I do like a bit of mint tea. Much better than dishwater :T and the tea I have now is MUCH better that a well known tea manufacturers raspberry leaf and pomegranate _pale_

I prefer spicy teas generally - yogi teas are good. But if I can't get those (and I do carry them with me when I'm out) then mint or fennel or fennel/nettle are preferred. Fruit teas are such a disappointment... smell delicious but taste of nothing...

And yes, you are being brave, give yourself the credit for it. And appreciate the fact that it seems to be making you declutter and clean!

Washing in. Most of it was dry, so is in the airing cupboard. A couple of items are hanging up in the bathroom as it wasn't worth getting the airer out. Might iron tonight before I actually achieve an ironing pile. Not much washing left to do, which is good. One full load, and the rest is waiting for more stuff to make up the appropriate loads.

I've also refilled the laundry liquid from the refill thingy in the shed.

Could you add me too please.

I never knew Diva but send love to her family and friends.

I've finally defrosted my freezer - go me! - after saying I must do it for got to be nearly a year.

Started on the kitchen and it doesn't look like it will be dont today but at least it's a start. Trying not to look at the rest of the house and get demoralised:eek:!
Back to it. It can be done.

Mum bought me a load of magazines so I am now going to flick through them all and dig out any useful vouchers and chill out, have a light snack and be out for 6 for the support group.

Also need to decide what to do with the pile of business studies degree books I found out yesterday which have not been read. Gave up on the course and went back to social science and some of those books cost a fortune..:eek:

Tuesday ~ Kitchen and Dining Mess
Level One
Sweep, vacuum and mop floors
Shine that stinky sink
Level Two
Done
Level Three
Done
Extras
Done

I intend to finish the list after the meals tonight. No point shining the sink now before cooking, and the floor will wait until the children have finished playing in the garden (they come in and out of the kitchen).

I am pleased with what I have achieved today. I walked into town and went for a HHSwim then walked home again. This is very good for me as I have been noticing a slight agoraphobia about my choices recently. I have wanted to make some positive changes to my life/routine. Babysteps, but I feel more proactive. My '7 carp' and '7 uplifting' jobs for the week seem to be working at the moment.

Hugs and spoons.x

Mr LW has phoned and said he'll be working late tonight - dunno what's happened to the chap who's supposed to be doing the late shift.:mad: Oh well, we don't have anything momentous planned for this evening, and it's jacket spuds for dins, so not a major problem.

I'm afraid I had to capitulate, and take the Oramorph in the end - just waiting for it to kick in, and I'm going to try for HHYoga - say at 4:15, if anyone wants to join in with a HHSomething.:o
