  • Well my update doesn't look too good but in the end I spent over 4 hours at school (although a couple of others came in too so I guess about an hour of that was chatting - but nice to catch up). But catch up is what I will be playing this evening - no sitting around watching tv which was my intention. Anyway:

    Extras left from yesterday:
    sort out lease for DD - couldn't do this or the next as network down at school and no computers - brought scanner home to see if that will work on my laptop as my scanner is being difficult!
    scan dental receipts for refund
    [STRIKE]ironing[/STRIKE] (did my listed ironing yesterday and felt smug as got finished in less time, then this morning noticed two jackets and two tops on the chair which I had forgotten about!)

    Tuesday ~ Living room, Hall and Stairs
    Level One
    Declutter the floors
    Vacuum said decluttered floors!
    Level Two
    declutter and dust the mantle putting back only what should be there
    Wipe the sofas if needed
    [STRIKE]Wipe and water plants, dust and deweb[/STRIKE]don't have any
    Level Three
    Wash any soft furnishings that are in need
    Clear and wipe window sills, and any electricals and picture frames etc
    Empty and clear out a cupboard..


    Extras for today
    [STRIKE]gym[/STRIKE] (have to list this otherwise I will find every excuse not to go!)

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Well, it's progress; also made a loaf (in the BM) and pizza for tonight's dins, that now just needs to go in the oven as soon as I know what time Mr LW will be home.

    Have also had a game of tug-o-war with Ted - indoors today, as it's 'orribly wet outside.

  • My 'get up and go' has got up and gone. I have done very little today and have just felt so lathargic - I am so cross with myself. I just can't get myself motivated. Spent far too much time on the laptop seeing what everyone one else was up to.

    So decided I would do the same as another lady on here and paste the list onto word and work off that, and limit myself to the evening, when I have done everything I need to do!!

    We'll see how that works out ;)

    Evening ladies,

    Happy birthday sammr85

    Pizza is in the oven. Will try to do a HHC after I've scoffed that.
    I am so exhausted I think I will be in bed by 9.00

    Day off tomorrow, so you're stuck with me all day :p I'll bet you can't wait :rotfl:
    Counting down to PILs arriving on Sunday, so I must get thru lots tomorrow
    Yesterday is history
    Tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift
    That's why we call it 'The Present'
