Well, I'm still ignoring the tax frog, but have cut out some material for a top today. Somehow I equate purchasing pattern and material with finished article....no, you have to actually make it, silly! So, having exhausted all excuses I have now cut it out. Step one achieved!Resolution:

Pops in to say Hello! And that I'm admiring my table lamp complete with a new (funny shaped) bulb which sourcing and buying was a FROG!
I didn't get to do my planned frog today but got other tasks done. Even pre-ordered the next lot of pet food to get more organised (faints!).
Need to work out which FROG to do next.... there's so many.Declutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage

Morning everyone, glad to see everyone is doing well - or at least trying
Football Widow I can't believe how quickly you got that done in the end - sometimes it's just having the space and the time isn't it?
I didn't phone the dentistI'm not in pain, which is why it's so easy to put off. But my dentist insists one of my wisdon teeth has to come out (already had one out years ago) - but I should get on with it because my maternity exemption runs out soon. Actually that's probably the motivation needed, I'll be on the phone as soon as they open
After this froglet I'm going to look at my giant list(s) and review over the weekend, chatting to OH last night we have just given ourselves lots of new jobs to do involving switching some of the rooms around in the house (our living room has giant single glazed patio doors and it's getting cold) so there are frogs yet to be born here :rolleyes: At least my eldest will be back in preschool next week so I'll have a few hours to [STRIKE]collapse in a heap and recover from the holidays[/STRIKE] get things done...0 -
My frog of the day is to make a call to book an appointment for my contracting work. i have been putting this off because it will be a stretch for my brain giving advice, but also because i am going to be assessed when i do it. The assessor used to work with me and we have very different styles of working with people and sometimes my chatty manner can be disproved of.
I am silly to be putting it off because a) it will be money b)i know deep down i am capable c) its 2 mins from my mum's house so I can have a cuppa afterwards d) it will prob be my last one as i am hoping to be back to work full time in a couple of weeks.:)
Treat for this frog i am splitting in 2 - as i have to get through both the phone call and visit. If i make call i will pop into pub tonight to see friends, (i will try to tackle a couple of other froglets for that reward) and the visit bit will be followed by a cuppa with my mum
Keep doing well and remember the lovely treats in store for you after those froggies have been conquered.£400,000 starting Jan 2020 current end date Aug 2041 I would love the end date to be 2027 but will aim first for 2037.

This thread has got me thinking and yesterday I was pondering what frog jobs I have got. I have realised I have a bright yellow frog sitting on the side of my sewing machine. I brought him home from school about a month before the holidays started to repair him and he is still there. In terms of frogs he really is only a tadpole but school starts on Monday so I really must get on and sort the poor thing out.0

Morning fellow frog stompers!
With the kids at home today is a little bit hectic, but there are still some small frogs that can be chased down & seasoned with a bit of salt & pepper. The computer stuff didn't get done, so need to do that, and I'm going to buy some photo paper from the pound shop as I found the SD card with my photos from Florida.
Hope everyone else's frog get squashed today! Have a good one everyone!This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

Had my treat - dying my hair - actually that's a frog in itself as I've been putting that off. And even better - no one noticed at work, perfect!

So wrote a quick Frog list of things that NEED to be done. They will be broken down into their smaller bites when the time comes but the basic list is:
Write frog list
Buy grouting tool, grout, silicone seal
Send email to friend
Write book of basic recipes for friend
Finish off making High Viz vests
Declutter kids toys and various rooms in the house
List on ebay items worth re-selling
Sort out rockery in garden
This will run in addition to the usual list of chores but these I really want to complete, the decluttering especially.
So there it is in black and white <gulp>I have a gift for enraging people, but if I ever bore you it'll be with a knifeLouise Brooks

No treats for me, as I didn't get my frogs done, and I'm about to head out to work. Seeing as the kids have gone to their dad's for the day I'm making the most of the time and handing out some brochures, then I might see about getting my hair cut and having a loo round the shops for some autumn gear for the kids, seeing as I don't have 2 small people demanding cakes and toilet stops every 2 minutes!This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!
