    Well did so much yesterday that I thought a good nights sleep would be on the cards but no apparently not - I was still awake at 2am struggling to go back to sleep:mad:

    So far this morning DW emptied and reloaded, washing up done & kitchen S&S'd, living room and family room tidied, dry washing removed from airers. Now taking 5 with a cuppa and I feel so weary I don't want to get up again:o
  • Woke up with sore arms from yesterday and while I managed the three levels I didn't do any extras!

    Cleaned sunroom window sills while making coffee - well it's a start!

    I managed to do nothing from my list yesterday despite not stopping all day. In my defence it was DS's birthday and I was working most of the day.

    So, in true flying tradition, yesterday's list is now no more and today's list is this:

    Living room
    Clean the windows
    Have posh lunch

    Hospice


    What I've done
    Sorted three trugs of socks, underwear etc (left them to see if anyone else would do them - the answer was no! I was a child though and put all their stuff back in the trugs for them to sort - I am so grown up!).
    Put washing load on
    Got two children out to school on time
    Had breakfast (a miracle for me and something I need to start doing)
    Daily accounts (and not fainted!)
    Sort notices on fridge
    Mop
    Wipe all the woodwork
    Dust any shelves/bookcases
    Sort junk drawer
    Prepare for puddy cat
    Walk dog


    So, onwards and upwards, today is another day and we'll see what I can get done. Hope you all have a good one!

    Pigpen - love the photo!

    Ok, so I've done the bathroom and emptied the upstairs bins :)

    School run in 10 mins, then I need to pop to the shop for milk and toilet rolls.......then on with the college work. I'll be doing a HHI at 10:30 with the beginning of This Morning though :)
