Need to think of productive things to achieve from the sofa over the next few days...

I'll hunt for my cv tonight.

ETA I'll put the kettle on for some herbal tea before I start my HHC (thanks for the company, seafarer's) so I can have a nice drink when I've done. I'm not drinking anywhere near enough.

Well done, Seafarer's. I carried on a bit longer and don't seem to have achieved as much, but laundry is out (lots of fiddly stuff) and WM on again. Bin emptied, a couple of items flung and I told other neighbour about OH. Having 10min on here, then I'm off for another HHC. If they all run over I'm going to average 45-50min work for every hour and I'm quite happy with that, as it's really warm and very close today. I can't seem to settle to anything for long and keep doing bits here and there, but in the end I'm bound to see some impact. :T

So much for my enthusiasm last night. After finally dragging myself out of bed at 9:30, I'm only now starting on today's tasks.

Hoping to do Level 1 and some of Level 2 today. Decluttering this house will take ages!

ETA:
I forgot to add a frog for today - change physio appointment.

MrsChaos

Same here! Problem is that I haven't got ages.

Break over and I'm off again, if anyone cares to join me. :T

cat_smith

DW now emptied and reloaded. 2 frogs decluttered. Doing commercial break challenges as I really can't face even 15mins.

Phone rang at 1.45am - he'd had his wallet pinched and needed me top find the emergency no for the bank!

can I remind you of one of my tips (not just you CY but all thread subscribers and lurkers!

Photocopy or scan ALL your cards (front and back) bank cards, credit cards, loyalty cards etc and leave it in a VERY safe place then when some toe-rag relieves you of your property you have access to all the phone numbers/membership numbers/account numbers.

have dealt with 2 frogs - dentist booked; chiropodist booked
