I know what you meant but I chuckled as I was imagining you rummaging through the freezer to find your list :rotfl:...simple...me?

I have deleted a lot of emails and useless bits on the laptop. I know the surveyor shouldn't be long now so I don't see the point of starting something when I will have to stop. I might just sit and read back and have a catch up.

It probably didn't get to that stage in 3 days so you are doing really well to return it to the state you want it, don't be so hard on yourself!

Surveyor has just left so I am rewarding myself with a cuppa and bar of chocolate :rotfl: will then try and do an HHC or 2 before I have some lunch. It is mainly vacuuming so it will be tiring.

Hello everyone xx

Not at work today as DS goes back to Uni tomorrow and I wanted to spend today with him.

Flying has gone totally to pot this week - so much for doing level 1 every evening after work...I arrive home, flop and by the time I'm de-stressed it's bedtime. I'm now halfway through the 6 weeks' work - but I was told unofficially yesterday that when the Fostering team move offices at the end of the month I'm going with them....I didn't know whether to laugh or cry!!!! Think of the money honey.

Reading the thread it seems like a lot of flyladies are having a tough time. Hugs to all.

Going to put potatoes in the oven for lunch - and while they're cooking I'll get dressed!!!! Having sought motivation in here I might get something done this afti. I'll let you know.

Why am I nervous about selling on e-bay Any tips for a wimp??

TD finished so off re-load.

Have a good afternoon all!

Really struggling with motivation for this afternoon. I have decided not to vacuum as I will do it all and my back with be aching so am going to wait and try and persuade DH to share it with me. Going to do the ironing tonight or at the end of the weekend when I have finished the washing as there isn't much at the mo.

Going to go shopping now and get something for dinner tonight. Hopefully be then I might have an indication if DH wants to go for a swim tonight, if he does I'm going for a walk this afternoon if not then I will go swimming by myself this afternoon. I think being outside today will be lovely.
