Keeping my head clear and myself organised

Horrible weather here

House is a tip and I am shattered

Been awake since 5am with a sore head:(

So have been and done a food shop spent £12 in M&S, £49 in As*s and £30 in Li*l.

Going to put a washing or two on and try and muster enough energy to do some housework.

Keep plodding!

Will keep plodding on, nothing else for it

Well I had an afternoon nap, set my alarm so I would be up for the kids comming home from school.

One washing is on, the kids school whites. My how they have got them so dirty in just over a week. I use the vanish soap bar on the stains/marks. I also put the WM on a hotter wash. WM has just finished so will see if that has made the whites clean. Going to do my bedding next, then a dark load. Will need to TD it all.

DD is at a friends for Dinner so DS and I have just had soup and a hot roll. OH is on a late so he took dinner to work.

OH has done 6 hours OT over the last two days :j:j and may have more this weekend.

Right off to check this WM.

Just notices my sig is wrong, I forgot to add the £250 S/O that goes into the savings every month. Almost at £11k :-)

Well done on saving that much! I need to pay off my CC but then I want to be able to save and get the OH to save his share too (he doesn't earn as much as me but I have debts)
I've enjoyed reading through and it has given me some inspiration.

Hi floella80 thanks for popping in.

Another horrible day here. House is still a mess but getting there. Done a few washings but still a good few to do. Small pile of ironing to do.

NSD today :j:j:j

OH has another 3 hours OT and thinks he may get another 6 over the next 4 days:j:j:j:j mind you he is shattered.

Roast chicken for dinner tonight and a glass or two of wine will be had with it.

Don't think we will starve this week :rotfl:

I sometimes keeps a list in the kitchen but it either gets lost or dirty so putting it on here means I can keep and eye on what needs replaced.

Kids want chicken sitr fry tonight so will make that for them. OH is at work doing OT again so he has dinner with him.

Next move is onto the living room. I have banned the kids keeping toys in there so need to get them to put what toys are there upstairs. I don't think they are happy.

Ironing to be done, must do this has school uniform things in it needed for tomorrow morning.

Another washing to put on and get dried.

If I have any energy then I will give the bathroom a quick clean.

longforthesun

Kitchen is clean and floor has been cleaned.

Living room is looking good and smelling nice.

I am too tired to do anymore and have decided enough enough today. I really want to do more but I just can't. I hate having fibro sometimes The ironing pile is still there but I am just going to iron the 2 items I need for the kids for school tomorrow.

Going to have a long soathing soak in the bath then head into bed. Going to download a new book on my kindle, a free on of course :money:

Oh and just paid the window cleaner £6.

Morning doesn't look like it will be a nice day, forcast is for rain all day and the skys are very dark:(

Told kids I would pick them up from school as a one off because it was to be so bad, must set an alarm on my phone to remind me

Not got much plans for today I am in a lot of pain mainly in my ankles and foot, so makes standing a bit of a pain.

Will put the WM on and do the few dishes that need done. Have seen 2 jobs to apply for so will also do that while sitting on the sofa.

Should be a NSD day aswell.
