    Hi all,

    I'm in. Thanks to Pigpen and Toots.

    I haven't got a lot achieved today. My new neighbour came over last night and we shared a couple of bottles of wine. :eek: I'm such a lightweight when it comes to wine i've been suffering today. :cool: It's not helped by OH ringing me this morning while i was still in bed to say there was a steam train coming through in an hour. I had to get showered and sorted straight away and ended up with a migrane from lack of coffee, breakfast and too much wine last night. :o The tablets have just about kicked in so instead of the beans on toast we were having for tea it's now bbq chicken drumsticks with roasted veg and potatoes. It smells lush but i think it'll be a late tea.

    I had loads i wanted to get done today like the weeding, oh well i'll have to do it tomorrow instead. I've got to find the uniform woman tomorrow. I'm hoping she'll be at the market so i'm going to get there early so i have a chance of getting near her. Then the uniforms will be bought, just the labelling to do then.

    I'll sort out a list later.

    Okay, I might be being a bit dim here (it's been known!) but do the list of tasks get put up daily, or is there a master list?
    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!

    Oberon, the lists get put up every evening ready for the next day.

    Since my last post i have

    Finished cooking tea
    Ate said Tea
    Cleaned rabbits litter tray out & fed & watered them (need to go & put them to bed in a sec as it's getting dark already :eek:)
    Washed up
    S&S Kitchen
    Ds2 wiped the table
    Swept the kitchen & dining room floors
    Brought the washing in
    Sorted 2 baskets of clean laundry & put it away
    Put todays load in the airing cupboard as it was still damp
    OH mowed the lawns

    OH and Ds2 have gone to see the steam train on it's return journey so when they get back he'll be bathed and put to bed. Then i'll evict the cat that's pretty much moved in and either slob out watching tv or do something more constructive (it'll probably be the 1st one).
  • Oberon, I was just about to ask that. Keen but bit befuddled! Used to get flyladys emails until they started being digital wallpaper so hoping this way might work better for me.
    Getting there...slowly! :D

    GC : must do better
    NSD: very rare

    No matter how slow I go I am lapping everyone on the couch.
