Morning All

Wan to do quite a bi today but we'll see how I get on. I def need to do some ironing and more washing but I also want to sort the kitchen cupboards out and sort out my computer cabinet. My clothes also need sorting out and putting away and my wardrobe - don't think I'm going to have chance to do everything though. I've also got an AF delivery coming today so I'll need to put that away.

Valli- hope your dad's continuing to improve. My grandad's been in hospital all over Christmas and I don't think they're going to let him out until they've arranged some care for him.

G&B - how old's your DD now? She shares her birthday with my DD doesn't she?

Have a good day all

Hugs

Put away all wrapping paper, tags and cards until next year (noting where!)
Delete some emails, old links
Recycle any Christmas catalogues etc
Wash, dry and iron any tablecloths, napkins etc

Count me in for the Ironing challenge! - DS managed run into the lounge & send a glass of red flying up the cream curains so I have those to iron & rehang too. Luckily the stain did come out!

I am on a mission today & will update each time I have a cuppa!

I'm so bloody angry Ds2 asked if he could have one of my chocolates that OH bought me for Christmas and when i opened them there was 4 left. :mad: Last night there was 3/4 of a tray left and it's a massive box of dairy milk so you can imagine how many are gone. Ds1 has eaten them and can't see what he's done wrong because he didn't eat them all. :mad:

I'm just finishing my coffee and then i'll get back to it.

DW emptied, washing up done, DW filter cleaned, breakfast eaten. Need to put some washing on and go and look up yet more flights for work... As I got the bulk of the sorting out in the study done yesterday, today will be spent alternating between work and more sorting out and tidying up.

Well, here's me feeling all motivated and ready to fly and....my foot has swollen up like a balloon and I can hardly bear to put it to the floor got a Drs appointment at 10.10 will have to hobble down there, can't even get my trainer on with the laces taken right out so have a Velcro sandal on ATM (classy look). Luckily the Drs is at the end of my road so I should be able to hobble that far. It does mean that my plans for the day have been totally scuppered was meant to be visiting a friend and staying the night, will have to take a rain check until the New Year I think.

So far this holiday I have
cleaned out the cupboard under the sink
tidied and rearranged the cupboard where I keep Pyrex etc
sorted through food cupboards and chucked out of date stuff
shredded lots of old bank statements and other assorted paperwork
tidied, decluttered and rearranged my desk (including the drawers and book shelf end bit)

so although I can't do much today I have already done quite a bit thank goodness, I'd be peeved if I had been leaving all of the jobs to do next week to do before I go back to work, if I even make it to work (depends on the foot!!)

I suspect gout!!!

Ouch mrsg - hope it gets sorted out soon.

AF delivery has just arrived so I'm going to sort that out and sort out my food cupboards at the same time to make some room for it.
