    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    Not so sunny today boo! I'm off this avo so was hoping to get a big chunk of washing done and on the line, I still might if it comes out later. got work this morning and I'm really tired so that'll be fun lol

    Just been to shop for pack-lunch supplies- I'd run out, not cos I'm disorganised but the ganets keep scoffing them - fair does my head in. School dinners methinks.

    House is a tip but nothing an hour wont sort out, whether I've got the inclination is another matter, struggling with work this week, did 5 hrs yesterday and couldn't move when I got back in, think I'm gonna have to tell Wednesday job not to add another room willy nilly I aint got the energy, think AF is looming.

    Got a vip spot for the NEXT sale tonight but having looked i don't want/need anything, well, maybe a vase but no biggie If i don't have it (for DD1's poss new house) anyway I'm trying to pay it off lol

    listy:

    feed rabbits
    S&S kitchen
    empty DW
    reload DW
    hoover through
    WM
    line drying
    tidy LR
    card for customer & post through letter box
    work 2 hrs
    small food shop

    Oh and I switched the freezer off last night by mistake just noticed this morning :eek: everything other than the bread seems ok though, that'll be teenie switching plugs around for no reason grrrrr hope he gets this job, next step MOVE OUT! :rotfl:

    Morning all!

    DD2 decluttered to school - the other ones are still in bed DS is not in work until 11.30 so I'll wake him later!

    Sunny again here - towels on line, next washload is in!

    Went to cinema last night - Orange Wednesdays - very MSE - got back at about 8.45 - not one scrap of washing up had been done! The same on Tuesday when I went to Slimming World....grrr:mad::mad::mad:

    Plan for today is ironing this morning and take DD1 to register at the library this afternoon - in an attempt to curb her Amazon habit.....

    Just about finished my cup of tea so off to put away the breakfast things.......

    Morning all, sun out here this morning so i plan on filling the washing line. Hubby leaving soon for his appointment and i'm gonna stay here and sort the house. No point me spending 2 hours in the car waiting on him.

    Things to be done now
    1) load dw and put it on
    2) stick the wm on
    3) clear kitchen table
    4) gather up dirty washing
    5) clear livingroom window

    Baby steps today i think...
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Morning All

    Another lovely day here so I've opened all the windows.

    I feel worse today, my temp's gone up again so I think I did a bit too much yesterday but hey ho! Washing's still on the line from last night and there is another load in the WM. I want to strip our bed today but I'll see how I feel later.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs
