Lois_E begins a long MFW journey

Nine? Seven items I had, six now done and many extras such as shredding, budget and moving things from the garage back into the garage, only thing remaining is ironing and as the washing isn't dry yet I think that's ok:D

Noooooooo! Not yet, please.

Well, yesterday was a bit of a disaster. Some extra stuff came up in the morning, and then somebody's child needed looking after for an hour or two, and the result was that I didn't get to the shop I needed to go to before the person who had offered to help me with something phoned to say he was available, and then after he'd helped me, it was too late and the shop was shut. A whole load of stuff on my list was to be done in that shop. So the list was a big fat hairy fail. Well, I suppose I did get the one most difficult and most important item done (the thing the bloke was helping me with) so perhaps not all bad.

Today is another day. The list is at 2/14 currently. Unfortunately I will have to do several things with two kids in tow (one of mine and one of someone else's) that I would have been able to do more efficiently without any children yesterday. Oh well, better get on with it.

Yesterday my NationW account got its interest - so that's another £8.31 for the EF. Off to update my sig...

Oh dear, life has a habit of getting in the way doesn't it? At least you got the difficult job done. Still plenty of time over the summer...

List at 8/17 now.

Glad to say that both kids behaved nicely when I towed them round with me, and the rest of my list can be done without leaving home.

Managed 12/17 yesterday, including all the important ones. But I got a lot more time to spend with friends than I was expecting (one friend in the afternoon and a different friend in the evening) so it was worth sacrificing a bit of list progress for that.

I've divided today's list into categories: Essential (7), Important (5) and Desirable (6). We'll see how I do.

Exercise challenge going OK. Now at 9/12. Today I am going to try to do the shopping trip (not for food, just for stuff that's not very big or heavy) on my bike. I have got to stop gaining weight, and I don't think my holiday's going to help.

Thanks natty. I have to have lists because without them I do nothing.

I don't leave until Sunday - not sure what time on Sunday - so I'll still be about tomorrow and at least part of Sunday morning.
