  • A toots list, is a list things that need to be done round the house. Toots originally posted her todo list and since then it's been called a toots list, I believe there is a link to it on the 1 st post explaining in better detail.

    Don't try and do too much, baby steps and little and often are key and once the decluttering gets under control the actual flying doesn't take to long.

    I'm off back to sleep for a bit, just fed his lordship and emailed DHbso will crack on with things later as busy day ahead.

    JJ, thinking of you all today xx

    Morning All

    I didn't sleep very well but I'm up and I've had a bath. I haven't quite decided what to wear black trousers with something - I would have worn a dress but I don't fancy wearing heels all day.

    Anyway I'd better get sorted - thanks for all the well wishes.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    Thinking of you today Jue x

    Hiya Shell how lovely to see you x

    I spent 1.5 hrs scrubbing the kitchen yesterday so wont be joining in with todays list, will just post my own bits and bobs.

    I fine tuned some more packing boxes over the weekend so some more stuff flung :j had to order teenie a new bed as his collapsed so the old one will be flung, and a set of bedside drawers that will be surplus to requirement when you move back in. It's good to fling! Still can't find the remote for my bedroom tv so can only summise it's gone into storage. I really need some new clothes, I haven't hardly got any and what I do have I use for work so they're not the greatest, could do with some nice stuff for going out and about in. Got ten ton of other things to buy/pay for first though so will have to wait.

    Right, listy:-

    check online bank
    pay bills online
    work 6 hrs
    dishes (teenie to do)
    quick straightening of LR
    S&S bathroom
    rubbish in bin outside
    buy littley's cooking ingredients for tomorrow
    ^^^^ find list first
    change my bedding
    Sweet & Sour chicken for tea.

    That'll do for today. Time for another brew x

    Morning all. Thanks for the list Dusty.

    Thinking of you Julie.

    I feel a bit low today. I think the realisation that my perfect job is soon to end is hitting me. DD1 loses all her hours from Saturday so she's rather glum as well.

    DH is doing the school run this morning. I need to get dressed and get to work.

    I hope everyone has a good day.
