  • Good morning everyone!

    I forgot to mop the floor yesterday. Was supposed to do it before going to work but ended up leaving the house in a rush and completely forgot about it. Oh, well.

    I'm off to work again soon so will only have time to do a few bits, will do the rest when I come back. Only started yesterday and I'm finding difficult to do everything already. Hopefully, things will get easier as time passes by and I'll get a bit more used to it.

    Start with babysteps hun. There is no point in trying to do the whole list if it is too much. I did just about nothing yesterday and I've been doing this for years. :D Work on the principle that anything you do is better than nothing.

    DS3 has eaten two potato waffles and is on the PS3 so feeling a bit better

    DS1 has just learnt that awful lesson that people nag you to back up your work for a reason. Hard one when it is is your A2 coursework, maybe this time the message will get home :(

    Just letting the floors dry and then another HH before I loose the will and tiredness takes over.

    Woke up feeling strange today, kind of dizzy and woozy, I don't know why and I hadn't taken any sleeping tablets last night so I'm having an extra slow day today :o
    Dw unloaded and two loads in the WM and TD.
    I've been working on some craft things for Christmas this morning and I've finally done some mending :eek: a hoodie, a night dress and a pair of school trousers :)
    I've realised I can't do any wrapping because although I have loads of wrapping paper I don't seem to have any tags! :eek: I ever haven't got any or just haven't found them yet, I'm not sure which lol.

  • Congrats mummyroysof3 on your OU success :beer: Hope you hear about the other one you are waiting for soon :)

    Hugs to all the poorly, anxious, and busy people :A

    A very late start for me today as DD has kindly given me her sore thoat and I kept waking up in the night so I had a mid-morning [STRIKE]old lady snooze[/STRIKE] powernap. One more cup of coffee then I'm off!!

    Plan is:
    White washing
    Finish off yesterday's sheets etc in TD
    Sort humungous pile of paperwork on the hall table
    General tidy and mega declutter of LR :eek:
    Sort shoes, clean, put away or get rid
    Mr T coming 3-4pm - 61 items for just under £37 :money:
    Assist DD in clearing/sorting in her room _pale_

    Have a good afternoon all!

    BBxx

  • Hello wendywitch :hello:

    Hope you feel brighter soon. I thought of you when I mentioned just one more coffee :rotfl: You've reminded me I have mending to do as well :o I think the sewing box is under cushions and books in the LR somewhere, hopefully I'll find it when I put my hard hat on....

    Will report back later.

    Afternoon all

    I've done the living room, hallway and up the stairs. Shopping delivered (came at 9.30 for a 10-12 slot so a good job I was here). Delivered neighbours' cards.

    Just got back from work and found out that the Headmaster called in another parent last week to tell her about the job that is going so not looking too good for me!!

    Hey ho, I'm going to try and get the dailies done while I refresh my brain and try and do a couple of bits from the list...............xx

    mummyroysof3 Well done on passing your exam...:T:T
    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.
    :j :j
