Monday Pollyanna Day DONE

Tuesday Go outside Day DONE with a cup of tea this morning. I have roses flowering, and the lovely fragrantisima honeysuckle my dad gave me as a rooted cutting a few years ago is flowering. Serena I thought of you and tulips this morning.

Preparing for Christmas Challenges

Monday dates ALL DONE - too early to book food deliveries but I got frozen turkey and cranberry at the weekend so we could cope if we had to

Tuesday outfits ALL DONE - hurrah no christmas play this year

Evening

NN chat to, her kids have offered to look after my cat while I am away for pocket money!! I think it is a good deal, but already asked my neighbours the other side.
Dinner done
Bins out
Otherwise not a lot done, and nor will it be till after about 10.30am tomorrow and the nurse has had her arm of blood, I don't want high blood pressure and have to go back on various tablets etc!! Once that is done I have to start moving a load of stuff about, which is likely to take some days, but should keep me busy.

Have a good evening

Useful in the future though, always easier to ask if you are paying I think.

DW to empty and fill, WM to put on but oh I am sore because of the cold. Anyone fancy doing a HHC on my place? pretty please

Have rung a friend to wish her a happy holiday later this week. Am seeing DH's being away tonight as an opportunity for a pampering soak in the tub & a good nights sleep without having to wear earplugs!

Tuesday Go outside Day
Have swept the birdtable & made up a new mix to scatter on it.
Fed the fish & dead-headed a few flowers to go in the green bin as this is being emptied tomorrow for the last time till April :mad:

Personal Challenges :starmod:

Monday Pollyanna Day
Let’s try to start the week in a really positive way. If you have never read the book Pollyanna then you’ve missed a real treat! If you have you will know the idea. Today I want you to play Pollyanna:


Tuesday Go outside Day
I want you to spend 10 minutes today outside (or looking through the window) enjoying the season. Look at the birds, the beauty of the plants in your garden even those which are stripped bear. Whilst you are out there see if there are any evergreens, seedheads, berries which you will be able to use for Christmas decorations. If you don’t have a garden then a brief stroll somewhere close by would be good.

Declutter misson:

Despite the promises decades ago that we were heading for a paperless world it doesn’t seem to have arrived! Today declutter paperwork, from files, intrays, magazines etc. Do you still have the receipts from last Christmas stuffed in a drawer? Leaflets for places you will never visit; recipes you will never make get rid of it all.

Well, I had a half hour snooze, but when i woke up I felt a bit yuk I was then very sick :eek: (again - same happened Friday week ). I don't think it is a bug, as I feel fine - not wobbly or anything. I think it's digestive, so I am going to keep an eye on it.
I did manage to hoover through downstairs after i had sorted myself out! (I wouldn't have been able to do that if I was ill!)

DS cleaned out the rabbit, & DH cooked dinner (roast chicken). He even did most of the washing up after! :T I need to do as much of the bins tonight as I can (recycling can go out, and food bin) as i have an early start in the morning (working from 7am to 6pm tomorrow!:eek:)

Ok. REALLY need to study tonight and have an early night.

I need to sort my own list out. Work has been cancelled for tomorrow and whilst it means no money I am happy to have the time :j
