    Why do I put jobs off for so long. It's amazing how quickly I can get things done when I make a list and actually start! I drive me mad!

    Now i'm going to do an hours study and then come and cross that off my list!

    1) Study!

    Not done much today, been out this morning and bought a new garden pot so I could repot one shrub, then put daffodils from indoors into the old pot to die down for next year.

    Did one load of washing this morning which nearly dried outside, just finished that off on the radiators. Then did another load which I've spread round indoors which should be dry by the morning.

    No real cleaning but I can catch up tomorrow. Hopefully. Off to work soon.

    Punky take it easy honey, I can't begin to understand what you are going through but I am thinking of you & your DH of course.

    Well list didn't go according to plan but got some done, will have to do the rest tomorrow, ended up having to do something for DPs Mam, who I am not keen on in the first place, but it means she can naff off to London for the weekend :D out of sight and mind!

    Nighttime stuff to do tonight, and going to put laundry away and sort undies while I am up there, gave up sorting kitchen as DP hijacked it to organise stuff for his race meeting on Sunday, it's still out on the benches as the stuffs charging or something and I'm not allowed to touch it :rolleyes: was a pain in the backside cooking tea around it :mad: no doubt it'll be there until Saturday night aswell! Times like this I really wish we had a garage!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    ((((((((((((((((((Punky)))))))))))))))) Please ignore Pigpen!! You have my permission to sit on your bum and watch weepie movies as much as you like. A good cry will do you no harm whatsoever and you are perfectly entitled to your tears.

    Well, finished making beds and hoovered bedroom and have done almost all the ironing. Just what I needed - a very productive day. Having a tidy / clean home makes me feel better and stronger to cope with what life throws at me.

    About to sit down and watch weepie film and eat too many of the Valentine chocs DH bought me.

    Love to all and thank you for your hugs and thoughts. Makes me feel better to know people care.
