    Whilst feeling yuk I have decluttered/re organised 2 drawers out of 6 in bedside cupboard - some socks gone as I found 8 new pairs:o also a couple of hankies which I never use, and some small notebooks - getting addicted to the KONMARIE method :D

    Lurgy is lingering :( Thought I had turned a corner but felt faint and wobbly this morning so have stayed at home - hate this as there is always soooo much to catch up when I get back. Hopefully tomorrow. At least I save £10 a day travel costs.

    Today is the first day felt close to human for about a week and been able to stay upright and awake for more than half an hour:) I am on the mend. Advice is to rest but frankly I have had enough so some gentle pottering today, a bit more tomorrow as energy levels creep up and back to work on Friday, should do the trick. Now I need to spend less time on here and start to get organised - January almost over and I feel as if I am lagging behind:)

    Of course the plus side - little eaten, weight lost, and save £40 in diesel :D

    I know you are bored with resting but please take it easy. If you do potter, don't overdo it. Take regular breaks and don't do too much. Please x

    Back to work tomorrow - could stay off until Monday but need to get back into the groove and also we have a frog leaving tomorrow so want to say goodbye. Also means the extra helper we have had ( particularly difficult frog :() will also be leaving which is sad too.

    Whilst been off have done a lot of thinking and planning,calculating and more thinking............hope it will all be of use.Certainly cant carry on with the way some things are at the moment. At a bit of a crossroads/hiatus and really wanting a change........

    House day definitely today and will doing our bit for the RSPB Great Garden Bird Watch. DD2 sent home from school poorly yesterday -unusual for her :( We gave in and had a takeaway last night.......had planned a 'payday takeaway' next Friday so it has just been brought forward a week.Weird......within 5 mins of finishing we regretted the spend and eating it .Oh well will have to work twice as hard to counteract the effects :)

    Had a lot of 'vigour and vim' ( favourite phrase of my Nan's!) before 8 am but it seems to have diminshed :( Found this link to a fab article on another thread and it has got me thinking..........again * roll eyes* :D

    Ha, ha Igamogam, I had just read that article before I caught up with you thread. I can totally relate to this as well as I regularly get stressed out about the amount of accumulated stuff in our house, not helped by OH being self employed handyman/builder and having lots of pots of screws/nails etc that I cannot seem to get him to store in tubs or boxes that are easily stackable. I think there is a part of me that wants to be really minimalist but I can't be brutal enough when clearing out, lol
