    Morning all!

    It's been a hectic weekend and away with work yesterday. But I'm back at the desk today and trying to focus! Did you ever feel like your head was just buzzing with stuff to do?? A good day to write down the 10 steps!:rotfl:

    My steppies today are:

    - check bank done :D
    - cashback site & polls done :D
    - tidy desk as swamped in paper done :D
    - write a work list of tasks to do :(
    - Get to atm for money for DH & school trip done :D
    - Primani at lunchtime for swimmers for DS done :D
    - type up minutes for meeting tonight (Hate being secretary:mad:) done :D
    - Bring DD2 to maths class done :D
    - Parents Council Meeting this evening done :D
    - Put load of washing on done :D

    Just realised I have clash between maths class and meeting, so unless DH can step in something will have to give!!

    Keep breathing Steppers!

    Hello Steppers

    Head a little less fuzzy today. Writing it down helps!

    DH going on a day trip to Belfast tomorrow so have to get him sorted tonight. it's like sending a child on a school trip - money, bag, coat, snacks for the bus! If I don't he'll be asking me questions at 5.30am and I will not be in the mood for answering politely at that hour! ;)

    Here's todays tasks:

    - check bank done :D
    - polls & cashback site
    - write up work to do list
    - type up Parents Council questionnaire & email to Principal
    - Quick food shop after work
    - Go to Bootsies and buy toiletries with points
    - Bring DD2 to football match
    - sort out DH for tomorrow's trip
    - sort out dry clothes in basket
    - put load of washing on

    Wednesday is the "hump" of the week. Once we're over it we're on the downhill for the weekend! Phew!!

    I'm with you! Except it's the other way round at our house. I'm up and he's still in bed! Drives me nuts when I'm trying to get an answer and all I get is grunts from under the duvet! And to be fair to me I only speak if it's absolutely necessary!!!:p

    hehehehe playing hide and seek :p

    Think i could disappear for a month under all the stuff at the side of my bed :o

    Still no idea what i'm up to - still not contacted cccs or cpn :eek:

    Been feeling pretty carp this week - sore sore sore hips and forgot to order my meds which i have been eeking out since Friday on half a dose cos i couldn't get any until today :eek: am hoping being back to full dose helps me get back on full power :)

    I have been doing everything i should be doing the opposite of........spending too much, finishing nothing, no exercise, no stepping, and making more of a mess than a herd of elephants in the fridge :eek: think i'm in rebellion mode :p
