    So I have decided that today is going to be a productive one and not my usual 'think about doing things, but don't actually do them'!

    Washing machine on and potatoes peeled. Got mowing the lawn and ironing to do, so think I am going to be hot and bothered by midday, so am breaking my rule of not showering first, no matter what i am doing, and I am going to throw on some old clothes and get going with the mowing :(

    Is it too early to mow on a Sunday though, might annoy the neighbours? On the other hand, there was survey done somewhere that said neighbours got annoyed by overgrown lawns, so can't win whichever I do. We live in a bunglaow because of my daughter's mobility problems, and most of our neighbours seem to be retired and have immaculate gardens. This one had an immaculate garden when we moved in!

    Everytime I hear the 'dirty' word Exercise, I wash my mouth out with chocolate!

    my garden is a jungle!

    next job on list!

    I took 10 bags to the charity shop yesterday, forgot one but that can go tomorrow.

    cupboard of doom looks better for declutter and I feel less stressed about it all.

    Feel so much better knowing that no one has a nice lawn and someone else has a Cupboard of Doom :D

    Lawn mowed and have a blister to prove it! Ironing all done as well. Also had to fix a kitchen cupbaord door and a few other things been done so feel like I have been productive so far! Still stuff to do but don't tend to get so much done by the afternoon. Watching a film at the moment so will see how I feel once that is finished :)
