I think I'm going to be in a foul mood today, I've felt it brewing since yesterday. I'm hoping it's just AF getting ready for a visit
Yesterday didn't go as planned, my friend phoned and asked me to join WW with her as she didn't want to go on her own and she said she'd pay :money:
So the meeting etc killed my morning, then after lunch I went for the walk with my dad. I had phoned to see if it was too cold for him but he still wanted to go :cool: and it was cold!
Today my friend and I have arranged to have a coffee morning at her house with our mums
after I've taken my dad to club but I'm currently running late due to actually having a proper breakfast this morning! :eek:
Living room is a bomb site again, paperwork everywhere which I need to get sorted. I have a horrible feeling I've missed my new appointment with the work dr cos I don't know where I put the letter 
Off to my parents now TTFN0 -

I really need to get some of this stuff done... I clearly need to be more disciplined! So... work, then a break for a walk/housework and then more work this evening (I have an 8pm teleconference). Just waiting for the bathroom to warm up so I can shower... so I might get some work done!

dusty hope ds3 is feeling better soon its horrible when an illness contrasts with something important to them isnt it.
got distracted in a big way! went up to get my glasses to read the instructions on the bottle of washing machine cleaner (as ive never used it before) and ended up spending two hours in youngest DS room tidying!!! it did need it but i threw all the rubbis out into the landing so thats trashed now why didnt i just come down for a bag?

Ian hi, I only know you from on here, but it's good to see you posting.
ED come on, my man, time to wake up now; I'm sorely tempted to ask the Spirit of Badger to come down and help guide you back to the surface - he's good at guiding people out of the dark.
Thanks Jackywhizz and Greenbee the CAMRA meeting went OK; there was no argument about me not doing stuff for them any more (though I noticed the Pubs Officer couldn't or wouldn't look directly at me).:cool:
I'm dealing with the general fall-out of being in a room with 20 other people now; that is so far out of my comfort zone, it might as well be Mars!:eek: We did escape as soon as the AGM business was concluded though, so I didn't have to cope with the general milling around and chit-chat afterwards.;)
Bathroom today - and I should try to do the bedroom also, as I won't be around tomorrow, but may leave it til Friday and do it along with the spare room, as I need a goodly supply of spoons for tomorrow.

Lamewolf and MrsMp thanks for your continuing vibes. I'm glad the handover is done LW and MrsMP I am the master at getting distracted especially by the kids rooms.
Bathroom and shower room done, just having lunch and then I think I'll sit and play with DS3 for a while before tucking him up for a nap, he looks shattered and then I can read the stuff for tonight's governor meeting, really only fire fighting with that at the moment.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
Been depressed lately and have not been a good housewife so I have spent today printing out my rountines, food list, menu planning and filling in diary. The sun is shining and I am ready to go with my morning routine! lol. Got an hour til I go get DD from school, but am determined to get downstairs tidy (using my old favourite carrier bag to put "stuff to sort out" in, so room will be tidy and I will feel better, and will sort bag out before bed (I promise).
So, today I will:
Kitchen -
Wash and Dry up breakfast stuff (done)
Bolognaise in Slow Cooker (done)
Chicken Curry For dinner
Make lunches for tomorrow
Clean up prep stuff (done)
Wash up after dinner
Lounge
Clear up floor and surfaces (done)
Sort Bag
Ironing
Baby steps!
thanks everyone for reading my ramblings xx0
