I'm spending the morning doing my "duty session" at playgroup today - always a bit of a !!! because it is SO LOUD!!!!!
I think I may have been spoiled in the past with a quiet Montessori environment where conversations are carried on with a normal tone and not shouted over the top of the person next to you shouting over the top of someone else.
Afterwards - well if the haar burns off its back out into the garden.
Clootie - are you off to the court this morning?? Maybe the playgroup is the lesser of 2 evils and I should just be gratefull.:D
Was doing the breakfast dishes and I realised that if I have 260 months to pay this mortgage - by which point I will be 63!!!!!
Not acceptable in any way shape or form - need to come up with a much better plan than that.
First things first though - last night I managed to pull out all the materials I need for the "double or quits challenge" to pay off the Big Horse Bank - what timescale do you all think would be appropriate to really tackle this square on. Do you think 30 days is too short?? Would 100 days give me 70 to faff about and 30 to bang it out? :rotfl:
I feel like I need something positive to get my teeth into and a short sharp challenge might just be the way to go.

@MG - maybe someowhere in the middle so 50 ish or you could do 60 and start the 1st May and finsih the 1st July or aim for 4th July and celebrate Independence!
I'm currently Eating a Frog - well I will be once I've photocopied the forms. Luckily I'm the only one in the office today so I can have my radio on and get down to the nitty grity - my list is planned - the ABCDE metod used and its just a case of getting the frog out of the way before I settle down with the rest of the day - and if I stop posting on here maybe I can get it down by 9am.

Once I've finished on MSE I am off to do 15 mins of something to make my heart sing which will either be yoga or dancing. Or perhaps I'll push the boat out and do both
Also am planning on eating some frogs this morning:
update meal planner
knuckle down and take pics of items I want to ebay
There don't seem to be terribly awful jobs but I keep procrastinating about doing it so frogs they be

Morning matrixettes, (ites) erm well you know what I mean.
2 lots of washing done and hung out. bathroom cleaned, bed made.
Just got Roberts cage to clean and hoover up the seeds off the floor, (African greys have this tendancy). Messy bird.
Its alittle overcast and not a breathe of wind but hopefully it stays dry so we can find somehwere else to explore this afternoon with the hounds.
The positivity is simply oozing of the pages, don't know if its because spring has sprung or what, but am luuuuurrrrrrvvvvvvviiiin it.

Good to see everyone is in a good mood - still haven't decide what makes my heart sing which is slightly concerning...I'm sure something will come to me.2020 Mortgage-Free Wannabes #20 £1495.03/£2760 OP0 -

Had a great night out today with my favourite gays and off for lunch with them today followed by a trip to Asda as my friend has the car.
Have a good day all X'The road to a friends house is never long'0
