    (((((((((((juliejim))))))))))) :(

    I've been naughty this week and hardly done a thing, I tried the first few days of the week but my heart just wasn't in it plus the kids were on half term so had extra stuff to do with them, and I finally gave up on Thursday downed tools and resigned myself to the fact that umpteen kids/dirty bikes/rain/mud being trailed through my house was just a waste of time :mad: so I'm now waiting for Tuesday to come so they go back to school and I can get back into a proper flying routine. Don't get me wrong I've done dailies but that's all.

    Todays list: make a A4 file with things to do/save for/buy/shop list etc Done
    TD x 1 Done
    Fold away washing
    Make tea
    load DW Done
    Switch it on :DDone
    Swish and Swipe kitchen Done
    Swish and Swipe living room Done

    not visted here for a while so hope you don't mind me coming back.
    house looks like someone has tipped it upside down given it a good shake then just left it lol . not flyed for yonks but i really need to get back into it again as everywhere is in such a mess and it all seems so daunting that i just make excuses and nothing gets done.

  • I am sooo looking forward to tomorrow-really upset that I feel that way but there is no point in doing anything with these boys at home. I'm a childminder during the week too so actually won't get anything done when my boys are at school either !! But its easier to have a routine.
    Started flying last week and I did ok:o but honestly could do better, house is looking a bit better tho. :T
    Haven't done a great deal today
    Asda weekly shop ( avoiding Mr T's for now )
    School uniforms washed ironed and put away
    Read sunday papers !!:rolleyes:
    And got stuck on MSE !:D

    Have a great week everyone
    looby:A

    Pigpen - Love to know what your ID is on e-bay

    I second that! :p

    Well I'm having a quiet day again today :j All this flying through the week has meant I can relax at the weekends and play games etc with DD or DP :D Very different atmosphere this weekend as there's no "leave me alone...I'm trying to..." :D Instead I've spent my non-dailies/necessary jobs time reading "Happy Housewives" by Darla Shine (DP is loving it...although he also agrees that I should never resort to the 1950's Perfect Housewife dress :rotfl: ).

    So far my list looks like this :D
    • [STRIKE]Dailies [/STRIKE] - OH cleaned the bath out after himself this morning :D
    • Ironing - OH is doing this while watching League of Extrodianary Gentleman :j
    • Finish homework with DD. - Currently having a rest as she didn't get in from her friends and to bed until 9pm...she's usually in bed by 7pm, 7.30pm at the latest of a weekend!
    • [STRIKE]Change beds - Sunday[/STRIKE]
    • Packed Lunch for DD - Sunday
    YAY! I think I might go and do DD's packed lunch for tomorrow. Or I might just sit down and read some more of my book ;)

    Laters...:wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
