actually thats rubbish, I have loads of time, but no inclination. For instance, when 7pm comes adn roo is in bed, I have atleast 3 hours of free time, and seriously I sit and do nothing, yes I know I should have some me time, but i just get bored, I sit and watch the soaps for an hour, but then theres nothing good on telly and I rarely have a good book to read so I just sit, and eat usually..... I really need to do something to make use of my time, but what? It doesnt help that im tired by the time the evening rolls around after being up since 6.....Its different when OH is here obviously, as we fill all our time doing coupley things.... I would go and see family but roo is in bed and i dont fancy getting him up for the 1hr 10min round trip...... I guess I just feel a bit lost.....0

im going to set a couple of weekly goals too, to see if that helps with the organisation side of things:
speak to OU and sort out new course
exercise 3 times atleast
list atleast 5 things on ebay
sort out spare room
I need to think of a way to come up with a spare £100 to pay off the CC!!0 -
hey there,
Don't worry you're not the only one that sits and does nothing. For instance last night I finished work at 4pm and sat and did nothing until 5pm, then went for a run and then sat and did nothing until 8:30pm. I don't think this heat helps if i'm honest.
I had loads to do sort paper work, clean house, pack away washing so on and so on so now none of it's done and I have it all to look forward to this evening!!
Good luck with your list - small goals go a long way

Poppy is good thanks, she was off nursery with a rash last week but back and enjoying it this week.
I don't do much when poppy goes to bed, i make dinner and wash up and maybe do some washing . I tend to spend my evenings doing surveys and things.0 -
Hello,
Sorry I've been MIA, we've been over at our rental house for te past 3 weeks trying to sort out the mess the last tennant left. Honestly, purple, orange and poo brown skirting boards, not to mention the same colour walls!! We've been sleeping on the floor and putting in 12-14hour days. Absolutely exhausting, OH has just got on his flight to go away so that's all we can do for now, it is pretty much done though.
Roos doing wonderfully, he'a cheeky as ever. Although I have to say I'm really looking forward to a nice lon bath and some classic fm when he goes to bed! The house is a state as we've been running in and out and just leaving stuff where it lands..... Will get to work on that tomorrow!
Have made some new plans, I'll fill you in later x0 -
Ok got woken up super early by little Roo so have already had my coffee. There are a few things I need to do today.
Fill in OU paperwork and post
2 loads of washing atleast, washed and hung on line
Go to gym
Tidy living room
Hoover
Unload/reload dishwasher
Empty fridge
Go shopping
Tidy Roos room
This week I need to:
List things on eBay
Pay cheque/money into bank
Pick tomatoes from the garden
Make chutney
Make freezer meals for roo
Make soup
Well as you can see lots of things need doing. Ive enrolled on my next OU course which starts in October. Trying again to get myself into some sort of organised chaos instead of just utter chaos.
Right back later, roo wants his breakfast.0 -
so far I have:
Fill in OU paperwork
2 loads of washing atleast, washed and hung on line
Go to gym
Tidy living room
Unload/reload dishwasher
Although it has rained horrendously for the past 5 minutes so the washing is v probably wet again.
I tidied the living room but it needs doing again as Roos toys are all over the place.
I'm at the gym but just having coffee at the moment
Am exhausted for some reason, I just want to sleep!
Really need to go shopping... Might go tomorrow.0 -
Morning
Yesterday ended up being quite productive. I posted my OU stuff did 3 lots of washing and tidied a bit. Still need to do bits today, so today's list:
Make chicken stew
Make soup
Go shopping
Wash sheets x2
Tidy up
Do some sort of exercise
Have a look through stuff to eBay
Will try and do a lot of the house type jobs whilst Roo is asleep.
Feel really autumny at the moment. Hence the wintery type food I'm wanting to cook.
Have put far too much on my CC lately, for no apparant reason, just felt like buying, but I'm pretty sure I can take one of them back as it wasn't that great anyway. Keep buying magazines too, really new to stop as some cost more than books do in t£sco!0 -
Hmmmm slight change of plan, just had a look in the freezer and it is absolutely fit to bursting with food so making more things like soup and stew are maybe not such a good idea. So I've got out some pitta bread, some soup and some chillie for today's meals. Don't really need to get that much shopping, just some fruit, veg and yogurt for the baby. Well one wash load is in. My back is so sore today not sure if I slept funny or what, but it hurts and I can't take anything for it
