    Welcome Back princess - sorry you've had a rubbish time hon x

    Well I had my shoulder thing on monday - was done by the consultant and he was rubbish! Put in far too much anestetic so by the evening the shoulder was making me cry but my right forearm was completely numb! Anyway - feeling a bit more human today, so back to stepping!

    This weekend I want to:

    • Wash Up
    • Wipe Sides and Clean Hob
    • Hubs Shirts for the week
    • Pasta Bake for hubs nights
    • Upload new stock
    • Visit MIL :)
    • Send Birthday Ideas for Xan to MIL
    • Cut back bush on the driveway
    • Upload shop and scan
    • Do some exercise
    • Post J Birthday card :)
    • Parcel and post Ebay :)

    Wouldn't you want to do this in the privacy of your bathroom :eek: or are you an extreme extrovert :rotfl:

    TM - Thanks for that, am now crying wth laughter!! Silly mare - teach me not to read back before posting - although could be a plan to clear some debt :rotfl:

    Managed to drag my lazy bum to the gym this morning to get a bt of mobility in my arm, bit achy now but feeling good for going! Tried on my dress for my cow SIL wedding in 6 weeks and still have about 20cms to go on the zip!! Poxy insulin seems to have killed my weight loss - any motivation would be greatfully recieved!!

    Well today has been a pretty busy day or far. Have managed to:
    Have lovely brekkie in town :)
    Buy dongle that i have been porcrastinating about for weeks :)
    Bought new housephone as ours seems to have gone dodgy :)
    Bought flowers for me and friend :)
    3 loads of washing and now line drying :)
    Took friends car to be cleaned and dropped it back off :)

    Hhhmmm, it mainly involves spending :eek::rotfl:

    So for the rest of the day I would like to achieve:

    Hoover all upstairs :)
    Put fresh bedding on both rooms :)
    20 mins cleaning in junk room - its a tip :eek: - Nope ran out of time
    Find counterpart driving licence
    List 5 things on ebay - minimum
    Complete all feedback on Ebay
    30 minutes of work - Nope
    20 minutes of ironing as the basket has filled up again!! Its never ending - 45 minutes of ironing and still one bedding set to do!! :)
    Polish and hoover living room :)
    Defrost stew for tea :)
    Tidy dining room table - AGAIN :eek: :)
    Sort my nails out, they are a mess :)
    Hoover & cleaned dining room floor :)
    Washed up, wiped sides, cleaned floor :)

    Didnt think i wanted to do much but looking at that list I better get cracking. I had planned on chilling out but doesnt seem to be much time for that

    Hope everyone is having a nice Sunday and enjoying the sun, even though I am only doing the cleaning it still makes me feel better that its sunny :D
