    Other side is working for me.

    Pretty tired after first day at work. Now I am planning on strict study and declutter and budget busting routine for this autumn. How am I going to do it if every day when I come home from work I just want to crawl to bed?

    At least the acupuncture gives my life back to me for 2 days after a treatment. I am hoping that when the treatment progresses it will be more than that.

    It's working for me now too... It must have seen FW's post and realised the boss was back;)

    I'm sure you'll feel better soon Marru. The first day back after holidays is always hard work.

    90 seconds, 3 mins, 90 seconds, 3 mins running already this morning and now need a big big shower and a day off to recover:rotfl:

    Now got to try and get ready and into work for 8am as my challenge - and then actually do some work rather than curl up in a sleepy hamster ball.

    Potato and fennel gratin freezes very well Greenbee - I know because I have one tucked away for Boxing Day already .

    Yesterdays challenge:

    MrB collects clutter on his desk like you wouldn't believe - if we are not careful his "piling system" tends to take over his desk, his study and then creeps over our house.

    At the end of every month he makes a concerted effort to clear though everything on his work desk - to freshen it up, rearrange, file, decorate with a picture or special bunch of flowers from our garden.

    He feels it shakes up his thinking and gets him out of a rut - you can see where this is heading can't you????

    Your challenge to day is to de-clutter your workspace - at work or at home (some of us keep clean workspaces at our place of employment because it is expected of use - whereas the one at home is a disaster)

    You will need a clear head and a clear desk for the months to come. Ready for MFi3 MG???

    And in response - not sure I will ever be ready so lets do it anyways LOL

    what is MFi3 MG?
    If we can put a man on the moon...how come we cant put them all there?

  • Morning all.

    Spent yesterday plugged into my MP3 player at work and got through a HUGE amount of work. So I am doing the same thing today as well. Managed to go home and actually DO something, rather than curl up on the sofa. I intend on doing the same thing tonight as well. Already written my list of jobs for home, and it looks definitely achievable! :)

    Hubby is coming down with something horrid. He really isn't the "swinging the lead" type and he looked so incredibly pale this morning... he looked like death warmed up. So I asked if he wanted me to ring in for him, but he said no, that he had to go into work for a "go-live" of something. Not sure what he meant, but he is being incredibly stubborn about it. :(

    Right, best get on with the day. Take care all and Positive vibes winging their way to everyone.

    Crickett - he's probably got whatever my OH has... It seems to make them grumpy! There is a cold/cough/chest infection going round at the moment and it seems to last a couple of weeks.

    Must get on with the laundry and hoovering...
