put away all shoes on rack and coats on hook
Put next lot of washing on line
And finally massaged DD foot (has to be done every night so techically I am ahead of myself- she is a gymnast with a reoccurring foot injury that the doctor said wouldn't heal so to give up but a sports therapist spent 1/2 hour with her and showed me how to manipulate it and hey presto she is still doing gym and nearly pain free in just 4 months - took doctors/ hospital two years and no improvment including 2 spells in plaster!!)

Off to do some shopping will post my weekly list tonight to see how much I have left to do tomorrow (I have already done most of childrens bedrooms as I want to attempt to venture into the room of doom - the playroom tomorrow after we have been to cinema to watch Gnomeo and Juliet)

Ordered DD's full birth certificate, £30 for express service :eek: X is hoping it can be here by Saturday and is paying me back so I don't mind I could really do with mine as I only have the "short" version for me but I'm quite happy to leave it for now especially as that would be another £9

Time to do some work work Would rather go and bake a cake or something, which reminds me I need to go and put the rhubarb in a pan to stew down for pudding and the freezer first :drool:

That's really sad but at least he got to do some of the things he wanted to first.

LameWolf

Goodintentions I'm so very sorry your friend is in such an awful dark place; I've been there myself, more than once, so I fully understand.

Shellysue thanks for telling us about Chris Hyder. What an inspirational chap!

Hiya! I had a good read, but I was kind of looking for examples...I have on my Daily minimum:

Washing Up: Am & PM
Make beds
Tidy Living Room
S&S Kitchen surfaces
One load of laundry washed, dried and PUT AWAY (the put away in caps as I have a habit of folding it up and leaving it dumped somewhere where it needs re-washing at some point!)
Hoover kitchen through living room
Change cat litter.

:beer:Welcome.... it's different for us all, but mine includes the obvious things like s'n's the loo and kitchen, as well as Mr LW's lunchbox, HHYoga, Brain Training, do email, check finance spreadsheets (I put all credit card expenses down, so that the money's allocated when the bill comes in), check greenhouse plants, do food & water for wild birds, charge scooter battery if needed (I have a mobility buggy), prep veggies for tomorrow (Mr LW does this for me and leaves them in water as I'm not safe with sharp knives), set up WM if needed (to come on early morning on cheap leccy), set up coffee filter for tomorrow, and set out tomorrow's meds.

BTW - I'm debtfree as of today!

:T:T:T:T:T Great, isn't it?

I've had a blitz on the lists before coming on here, as I wasn't able to do a lot yesterday. We did get our holiday Euros ordered though, and picked up my meds - which the GP had got wrong again!!:mad: It does make me angry - I'm on sustained release morphine tablets, and also Oramorph, which is a quick-acting morphine liquid, for breakthrough pain. I have to re-order the tablets every month, and nearly every time, they put the syrup on the prescription form instead - apparently it's the first one on the list of my meds, they see "morphine", and don't read any further to check that it's the correct morphine. So I have to waste ages while the receptionist goes and gets the right one prescribed, or, as often as not, have to go back another time, which is a complete nause, as I can only get there when Mr LW's around to take me. GGGRRRRRR!!!! Sorry - rant over.;)

Anyways.... I'm actually ahead of myself this week, now!:D

Well hello Flypeople

I have just had a visit from my Mum :j & Dad. Her first since breaking her hip in January.

House was tidy enough for her to get in with her frame.

Need to get moving with HHC 4.30-5pm
