Goodintentions

Good morning!
Up & dressed, breakfast, kids to school (DD has 2 GCSE's today & is stressed ) dog walked (4 WW activity points earned :j). I have had another cuppa, checked emails & bank accounts (still no debit for Olympic tickets ), so now I am (almost) ready to get started!

Anyone up for HHC at 10.15??

I'm in again this week, if that's ok.

You are all so motivating, I'm getting there slowly!

I too have a big black cloud in our house, but trying to do something about it. Have realised I will never be happy unless I make the first move.

Anyhow, yesterday was a rubbish day, felt like I did nothing, so will gloss over Monday.

Tuesday

[STRIKE]Take DD to college[/STRIKE]
WM x 3
Peg washing out
TD some stuff as very dull here
[STRIKE]DW on[/STRIKE]
Unload DW
Make some fairy cakes
Nip to Mr T for packed lunch stuff
Hoover downstairs
Take DS for haircut
Finish application form (closing date is Thurs :eek:)

Am working 10 days straight without a day off from Fri, so must get house in order.

Appreciate the hugs that came my way, so sending good vibes to those that need them :T

Have a great day, Pixie

Morning all

Operation hall reclamation in full swing! 3 more bags sent to school and friends this morning. Then I had to dash back with W's swim stuff as I forgot that first thing.

Got a friend coming round this evening so need to get downstairs presentable.

I have to confess that i am surprised at how little i have actually been able to cross off the first list as I seem to spend most of my time in that bloody kitchen!! Still, my sofa will be out of the house tomorrow and I am going to have so much fun rearranging the rooms. just got to get rid of that pile of washing on my kitchen floor and I will be able to sort the rest out. I am actually feeling a bit more positive than i did this morning.

In my HHC I washed up, put on DW, cleared & wiped kitchen surfaces, cleaned the hob, swept & mopped the kitchen floor and cleaned the downstairs toilet & basin.

Not too bad - I am starting to catch up now

I am going to reward myself with a cup of tea while i sift through some paper.

ETA I also wiped the bannisters and cleared the stairs.

Had such a good cleaning day yesterday that today is easy! And all this daily cleaning has got OH much more involved too. :beer: He usually starts before me now whereas the room could be thick with dirt and he wouldn't notice.
