Well I'm in this week, I only hope that I last a bit longer than last week. I just run out of energy so quickly; so I must pace myself better and not worry if certain things don't get done.

From the list above, it looks as if I've acheived a lot but to be honest the bathroom hardly needed much doing tto it as I like to keep this room spotless on a day-to-day basis. However, I did clean the window and I showered the plants in the bath - this gets all the dust off their leaves, then I cleaned the shelves they live on.

Evening

I've been a busy bee since my last post! I finished dealing with the 3 biggest & most complicated invoices which took all afternoon nearly, but they're out of the way and the next 6 which will finish off the financial year are a lot easier to work through IF I get through those tomorrow I may just carry on and get everything up to date. As I've been going along I've found mistakes I've made which have cost me money, and found that my current filing system makes keeping the accounts in check rather difficult so I have an idea which will hopefully work which I'm going to implement from now on.

DD got very disheartened with her crafting as she was struggling with it. I've helped her out as much as I can without taking over and she's going to have another go tomorrow when she's done her jobs

So updating for tomorrow (so I can write it down in my diary)

Wed : Shops with DD for start of uniform, Work - evening
Fri : Possible ex-ils dropping in, possible sleepover for DD's friend
Sat - no ex here, must remember

Dailies :

make beds (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thur, Fri, Sat, Sun)
HHT(idy) before bed ([STRIKE]Mon,[/STRIKE] Tue, Wed, Thur, Fri, Sat, Sun)
List 1 box of stuff to sell (19 boxes in total 3 listed so far)

Bossy lovely photo thank you for sharing.

Last night cut the grass, tok ages but all done now.
Had a chat with neighbour who's wife died last month, he seems ok and told me he is going to his sister's at the end of the week for a few days, could I keep an eye on the house, and not to worry if I didn't see him till Monday, his daughter and SIL were also there, and they seemed ok, but daughter says she still misses her mum, and will do for a long time yet, I really didn't know what to say, so I gave her a hug, that in its self set her off crying ...........which set me off again, a right pair we must that looked last night outside my house.

Daily type stuff done
Just got to unpack the dw now.

Have a good day, if you are out in the sun, hat on, sun block on, cover up.

Morning All

1st job is to put the WM on and then see what I fancy doing next. There's so much to do it doesn't really make much difference where I start. I may put the tombola stuff I've already sorted into my car and then it's out of the way. Kids are at my M&D's this afternoon though so I may go out then or do something different seeing as I'll be kid free.

Bossymoo - they're gorgeous.

Have a good day all

Hugs

grrr!!!!!

WE disappear to the Olympics at the weekend - I am going early with DD1 and DD2, OH and DS are coming sunday - this is because they play cricket..;);)... but no.....

DS arrived home last night night and said that they'd got to work long hours this week to get finished... cos he's away next week - so he is working till 9pm tonight and every other day this week - INCLUDING SATURDAY!!!!!

As he leaves at 7am i can't even begin to work out how many hours that is this week....but a rough guess is 68!:eek::eek::eek::eek:

right - off to clean the kitchen - boiler service man due between 8am and 1pm.... what's the chance of my getting the 8am slot ( I would love the 8am slot...)??

Lovely photo, Bossymoo!

>a right pair we must that looked last night outside my house.
Kazwookie, it's good to show you care, and in our stalwart and stiff-upper-lip society the power of touch to heal is often greatly underestimated. Your hug and the resulting tears have probably released a lot of the tension in your neighbour's daughter, and that will leave her more able to "come to terms" (a horrid phrase) with the loss of her mother. (Bereavement never goes away: our minds just learn to hide with it better as time goes by.)

Yesterday I sat for a total of nearly 8 hours on trains, enjoying glorious sunshine and beautiful countryside - well-washed fields and sparkling rivers - whilst knitting a cardigan for 22-month-old DGD (I finished the back and both fronts). At my destination I talked almost non-stop for 6 hours with one of my oldest and bestest friends who I hadn't seen for nearly 3 years, and we decluttered our worries and sadnesses and stored away our joys and memories of happy times, leaving a long list of things to look forward to in the coming years.
:-))

Hope everyone has sunshine this morning.
