The 2 hour wait over appointment time threw the whole day off, ended up going and getting decorations afterwards and have put them up which was Thursdays job. Been to Chemist and made appointments I forgot yesterday. Both kids hair cut so another of Thursdays done. Food shopping done which was also for later in week- need to toal what I spent and add to list. Starting on DS1s after I have caught up with few things I have to do on the internet, inc do some ring and reserve for the things my friend is buying the kids for Xmas, which I forgot and she's in the shop NOW! OOOPS!
It's lashed down with rain all day so like the weather I feel miserable, got soaked so many times!
Hope everyone else has had a better dayOne day I might be more organised...........

Slinkies target 2018 - another 70lb off (half way to what the NHS says) so far 25lb0 -
I spent the morning piling things to wrap on my bed, as that would obviously be the incentive I needed to turn the sewing table into a present wrapping table. Hmmmm.
If some of them weren't breakable I think I'd just go to bed underneath them. Would moving them into the laundry basket count?0 -
