    I sooooo know what you mean :(

    Well this is what I've done:

    [STRIKE]Clear and wipe worksurfaces
    Sweep and mop the floor[/STRIKE] Wasn't planning on doing this but the washing machine decided it wanted a foam party and leaked bubbles everywhere :D

    [STRIKE]Go for a run
    Do a quick tidy and clean the coffee table[/STRIKE] (my hotspot of doom - it's always covered in junk)
    [STRIKE]Cat litter tray
    Brush the floors
    Do the dishes after dinner
    WM x 1
    Fix freezer shelf door[/STRIKE] - Kind of but we'll see if it stays stuck
    [STRIKE]Cleaned the top of my kitchen cupboards[/STRIKE]

    Not too bad - I'm quite pleased with that but I wanted to do my hob. Ah well there's always tomorrow.

    Night all

    Lol.

    Sorry, was just a bit eager! Wasn't sure if it was a set timer or not.

    Bit much when I go to bed eagerly awaiting the next days tasks. :o
  • Can't sleep.

    Minion has her EEG at 10.15.

    Wonder if these two things are connected in any way? Nah, surely not.

    Morning everyone, from a bright and beautiful Kent garden :) It's so serene outside, hence why I am sitting out here with a cup of tea, the lappy and a dog at my feet.

    I am also watching the birds have their breakfast, which is always a joy to watch. Mr and Mrs Blackbird are taking it in turns to have a feed, think they must definately have babies somewhere. I know Mr and Mrs Robin do as whichever robin is feeding takes a mouthful of food and disappears into the ivy next door. Bit early for my two doves but I am sure they will be along when they wake up. Last night they had a lovely bath in the bird bath after I filled it up with fresh cold water. It was funny to watch them splashing around and cooing over each other..:p It's really nice to see just the sparrows in the garden at the moment, it hasn't been overtaken by the starlings yet!! So at least these little birds are getting first dibs on their breakfast for a change. Think I will keep putting their food out in the early evening so that those that want to can have a late night snack, and then it is still there for the early birds in the morning. Also means I don't have to remember to go out there and feed them before 8am. Woody was sitting watching me last night, so I think he might be one of the late feeders. Still haven't seen him with a mate, or if one appears she doesn't stay around for too long.

    This morning I want to plant out my flower seedlings, that have grown rather big, in the gaps in the veg plot, otherwise they won't get much of a chance and I will end up losing them all. I've also got to empty some pots of weedy stuff so that I can pot up a couple of new plants that are outgrowing their baby pots. Also am going to pop the potatoes in the trug, a bit late but hey ho!!

    So I think before I start I shall pop and have my shower and get dressed, then do a wee bit of ironing while it is still cool till about 9.30am when Chris Evans finishes. Then tidy up quickly before I go outside, and then make myself presentable again by midday as I have my care worker coming to see me.

    Jojo hope everything goes okay with minion - I'm sure she will be fine.
    Hugs and spoons to everyone, especially LW, Toots and LL.

    Morning All

    Hugs Jojo - hope you managed to get some sleep and everything goes well today.

    Piggers - hope Tabitha and Squeak are both feeling better today.

    First WI tonight at SW but apart from that nothing else on I don't think - apart from work of course. TD is on drying the stuff which got soaked yesterday and there's another load in the WM waiting to be dried. Don't think I'll bother putting it on the line after yesterday though although it looks nice out again.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs
