back aches :rotfl:too much sanding / card making / sewing.
Didnt notice till I was cleaning the bath :rotfl: ahh well tis only an ache - ignore it, it'll go away LOL

Right in my HHC I:
emptied and filled the DW
made coffee.
emptied the DW filter.
Put the ironing board away
cleaned the bath, the loo, the sink (including remove sawdust in the pughole Urgh), the shower
Decluttered bathroom windowsil
Polished the mirror and the glass shelf (I hate that shelf)
Cleared the coffee mug ring from the windowsil (D'oh!)
swiped over the kitchen counters, although there's a pile of "big washingup" that needs to be done by hand.
cleared a space for DH to work when he's home in a bit.
And lastly spotted that small dogwog has a bad nail she's licky licky all the time will keep an eye on it, but it might be a vet visit. Not the first time she's cracked a nail, but this one's right in the nail bed. The licking could cause more of a problem than the nail Poor Toffs.

How was the Yoga LW?
And how did you get one with the ironing Happierdaystocome?

First time I've tried to get something done today that wasn't interrupted by the MiL on the phone. :rotfl:

ETA: Cat Re: scissors... I'm rubbish at cutting out, you can get really whizzy electric lazer cutting machines. So all standard sizes and actual 90degree angle squares hehehe. but wayyyyyy outta my budget. And some come with cartridges that cost £30 a shot. But I would like one currently I fancy one that attaches to your 'puter so you can do designs and lettering and the gizmo cuts it out. £270!!!!!!! ummmmmm on the one day list LOL

Doing well with the flying and I've just nabbed 2 free tickets for DS2 and I to go to Grand Designs live in London. He'll be chuffed as he wants to be a property developer.

Just making a cuppa and then time for a HHC before I take DS3 to squash. Going to meal plan whilst there as there will be little distraction/avoidance activies.

Thanks Nixie for the company, things ended up taking longer than expected but I got the ironing done, unloaded TD and reloaded with stuff from washing machine and wiped over the kitchen.

Also instead of sortingv a draw wardrobe as Ive done them all ove thelast few weeks I helped DD sort her case as she has decluttered some of my shoes into her case.

I need to sort DS out tomorrow as he is off to stay with his dad for the easter holidays on friday.....So Im going to have a child free hous for almost two weeks starting Saturday unless you count dogbot.

Quite pleased with myself so far. My flat doesn't seem to look much better for it though! It's only a one bedroomed flat and is so hard to keep tidy.

cat_smith

grrmich yeah. It's called procrastinating. If we're on here we think we are 'flying' without actually doing it :rotfl:

nixie scissors a good idea. For that price buying the cards would be cheaper! Currently have a furry beast curled up behind me on the nice newly cleaned sofa. It reminded me of your avatar. I'm the beagle!

Need_more_time

Afternoon everyone,
Had a good day today, lots done as hoped. Not had time to read thread but hope you are all ok. Off to declutter the dining table now as I've cleared all the carp from the desk on to it. Then declutter ds2 to badgers.
