    Arrrrghhh, yet again I posted a list a few days ago, then never came back!!

    I did however do some of the things on the list :D

    Today I PROMISE to come back and to get everything (or at least most) of my steps done!

    1. Change DS1s bedding. Can't find where I've put the spare set since I've 'tidied' the airing cupboard and bottom of the wardrobe etc, as everything just got moved around. I know where the spare cot sheets are, but will have to wash and dry the duvet set today!!

    2. Hoover DS1 bedroom, and the bathroom

    3. Clean the George Foreman grill. Didn't get done last time we used it so it's all dried in, so we've been avoiding using it for a couple of weeks now :o:eek:

    4. Clean microwave

    5. Put away pile of clothes that got ironed yesterday.

    6. Order the rechargeable batteries and charger I need from Amazon

    7. Put 15 bits of paperwork away in the correct folder (in an attempt to finally organise the massive paperwork box

    8. 4 Ebay listings

    9. Print Tesco price check voucher and find the receipt that goes with it

    10. Clean basin in the bathroom

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Hi Guys!!

    Sorry i have been doing my AWOL bit again haven't i? Naughty Fairy! LOL!

    Don't know what has been going on with me the last few days. On Sunday night i just didn't sleep at all - think i managed to doze for about an hour later in the day but still struggled to sleep until about 9pm when i finally got a sleepy head on and think i was asleep by 9.30 ish lol. I'm not eating much and feeling quite tearful but not actually crying either. A dose of the doo-lallys i would call it, where i'm just all over the place :o

    I usually find my positive steps help me to regain focus but i just couldn't face writing a wish list the past few days :eek: I even logged in a few times but found myself browsing about reading other thread titles not even able to read the threads themselves.

    Anyway in the midst of my doo-lally's I have actually managed to knit a bag - mostly while i couldn't sleep lol which i have just a few more rows to do before its finished. Today then i am just going to concentrate on that and get it done i think. I have lots of things i 'should' be doing but as i'm all out of sorts i am ignoring any 'shoulds' and hoping i will feel up to doing them later or tomorrow :p

    I hope you are all doing well and have had a good few days - TM i see you have sent me a PM - thanks for that :) i can't actually read it right now but will do later :D
