Evening all,
Really rubbish week with one thing and another.
Just heading to bed, then I shall be up and at the lists first thing.
I am SICK of this tip. Everything is getting flung so that there is minimal tidying to do and I can just clean straightaway.
Night all

Morning all!
Didn't FLY at all yesterday as was feeling very down and sorry for myself having had some bad news on Thursday night. I'm still feeling very down and sorry for myself today but know I need to stop the slide into depression now. I have Bipolar Disorder and while it's right to feel sad about sad news, wallowing in self-pity is not going to be helpful!
Today's plan is to get through Morning Routine then make a quick trip into town while it's still comparatively quiet and then take a look at Friday's list on here before I announce the commencement of the weekend!
Hope everyone else has a good weekend.Household: Laura + William-cat

Good morning all,
Hope you all have a fab weekend.
Was up bright and early this morning and found a box of dried peas in the cupboard so will have pea and ham soup bubbling away in another hour or so. Also found a bag of fruit in the freezer so think we will be having some berry crumble for pudding today.
WM has been on and has just finished.
Breakfast has been made and decluttered
Dishes are in the sink with hot bubbly water
Am off to take down the dry laundry and fill the ironing basket, then do the dishes and get ready for a birthday party i need to take LO to.

Maxonian If its any consolation I feel exactly the same, I really need time on my own to tackle it.
By the way morning all! I need a kick up the bottom. Friends coming for lunch, still not dressed, house not great (but thanks to you lot not as bad as it could be!) also not much sleep for a few days due to restless children, also neighbours round last night for impromptu drinks til 2.00am so feeling on top of the world…:( Kids awake at 5.30 arghhhhh
Better get on with it!0 -
morning all.
after a half 6 wake up call i managed to get kids to doze then play and watch tv till half 8, a much more civilized time to get up at lol.
i made french toast as a treat to myself and DS1 while DS2 had a yogurt after their cereal. im just away to put the kettle on and make a cuppa. is it just me or can anyone else not drink hot drinks with a meal? my parents always have their tea and coffee with their breakfast and lunch and i just cant. its gotta be a cold drink with food.
flying today will be hanging out towels i washed overnight. its sunny but cold so i hope they will dry.0 -

Glad it's not just me!
DH has gone into town armed with 4 library books to return - 2 carrier bags for the charity shop and an ebay parcel.
So far I have got 1 load of washing out and another in.
I have renewed our annual travel insurance as DH is off to Spain on Monday on business for a few days.
I was pleasantly surprised at how much it has come down now that we are another year further on from DHs big illness.
Next job is another brew, then start on tidying the garage (integral). We are having a freezer delivered between 12 and 4.
Very excited (saddo) as our fridge freezer is 2/3 fridge and a 1/3 freezer-3 drawers. It's just about enough but we are always having to move stuff around to squash it in.
Ok off I go :-)Yesterday is history

Afternoon all
Well I failed miserably, (again), to get anything significant done or even post on hereMy problem is that after work we have meetings or I go food shopping, etc, and by the time I get home and sort food and washing out it's just about time for me to go to bed! So today, (later than what I wanted I know), I am going to crack on with the kitchen and give the bathroom a clean
Here's my list for today:
Dishes
Clean work surfaces
Declutter and clean 4 drawers and 5 cupboards Have done 1 drawer - decluttered and turned it into breakfast drawer complete with tea bags, coffee, sugar, cocoa powder for hot chocolate, milkshake, bread, jam and nutella with spoons and knivesIt's the drawer under the kettle so all there to reach easily and looks fab
Will declutter cupboard underneath in morning and replace with mugs, bowls and tea plates to match
Hoover floor
Mop floor
2 loads of washing - have done one load
Dry washing - 1 load on
Iron clothes?
Clean bathroom
and the usual.......
Shower
[STRIKE]Cook meals[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Feed furries[/STRIKE]
I also need to pop to 2 friends to pass catalogues onto them so I'd better get cracking and not let myself be distractedI know I will feel a lot better when I complete all of this
- will do tomorrow
Catch you all later
Love and hugs to all xx
