My get up and go has got up and gone today and I am still in bed. Going on holiday tomorrow and I can't motivate myself at all
could very easily go back to sleep. Have pegged out 1 load of washing and put one more in. Should really get up and make a list...someone give me a kick please
Can we please kick each other? I laid in again (no surprise, really, as I was reading until stoopid o'clock) and have done nothing apart from making breakfast and decluttering hair and money at the hairdresser's.
Setting off to the hospital around 3.15. Before then I need to do DS2's lunch, peg washing out and do some flying. I had hoped to have bottomed several rooms before we're due to go away on Saturday.Best laid plans and all that!
I'll feed DS2, see to the laundry and set my alarm for a QHC. Maybe that will inspire me to carry on.
Hope everyone has a nice day and reasonable weather. x0 -

ive been and got my house bits from next, finally got a table cover that almost fits my table, there is just a cm at each end that it doesnt cover, but im ok with that. its a plastic wipe clean one and ive another on order as OH refuses to let me oil the table so this way at least it wont get clatty.
also popped in to lakeland whilst i was out, and got some absolute bargins. clothes horse that had been £55, down to £20, kenwood juicer that had been £30 down to £20 and buy one get one half price on shoe racks so £30 instead of £40. was very happy with myself at those bargains.
also picked up some really nice laundry bags in next as they caught my eye and ive been looking for somethign nice for ages, but didnt like all the other laundry baskets id seen.
best go put my bargins away and go finish off a frog in my bedroom with the clothes storage stuff. need to take out 1 hanging rail out the wardrobe as it looks rubbish because none of our clothes/tops are short so they all drape over the bottom hanging rail.0 -
