    Where is everyone? Too busy being productive to post I expect!

    Still going well here. Attacked the front garden in my hour yesterday and will do some cleaning this afternoon and poss some ironing to make up today's

    I'm going to have to do a list of jobs though.... all this productivity has my day to day stuff pretty much up straight, so need to work on some of those 'never quite get round to' things now
  • I've got a sore throat and cough, and feel rough as hell so haven't been very productive for the last few days. It feels like it might be getting better, so my 60 minutes today will be a relaxing bath. DH is taking DS out for lunch with a friend, and I will sit in the bath and read. :)

    Morning everyone,

    I've been under the weather so haven't felt much like doing anythng. I did half an hour of ironing last night which is keeping the pile down to a minimum - this will really pay off on Sunday when I usually have 2 and a half hours of it :o I'm trying to make a habit of washing through the week so that I can continue to iron regularly. Washing was pegged out yesterday and dried beautifully - it looks like I'll be doing it over the weekend.

    I need to tackle the book case that is used for more than just books and looks like a cluttered up mess.

    Have a good day folks.
    :);) AF since 10.04.11 :):D

    Morning everyone, hope you have great weekends!! The weather is stunning!!
    I've just paid £1200 off my secured loan I'm SOOOOO happy !!! I get paid on Monday as well!!! OH said 'treat yourself don't pay it all off the loan' and I said the reason i have the loan is cause i kept 'treating' myself !!! but my mum said the other day that I'm looking a little scruffy, and a patient said that my ugg boots were 'knackered' I put it down to her being mental ha!! (I'm not being rude I was working on a acute mental ward at the time) So it would appear I do need to get a few new additions to my wardrobe :rotfl:

    anyway today i'm going to go for an hours exercise and then go out with my lovely OH cause I ain't seen him for two weeks :j

  • Hi all, I'm joining you as of now. I'm a terrible time waster and procrastinator and the idea of spending an hour per day doing "stuff that wouldn't otherwise get done" is really appealing to me. Right - off to start now :j

    Sorry I haven't been around for a while. Had a blip again and resorted to my old 'head in the sand' ways :(

    Getting back stuck in again though, so later on I will spend an hour bringing my budget up to date and working out what I have spent that I have tried to forget about!
