Morning all. I'm kind of in again, no paid stuff this week, so my time is my own.
So far today I have:
Fed/given medicine to dogs
Made two packed lunches
Vacuumed/swept living room
Had two cuppas and some toast
DH says I should be called a tea lady rather than flylady.
For later after shower:
Walk dogs
Gardening (my plan is to do this in 15 mins slots using my kitchen timer and maybe do things off the list alternately).
Hope everyone has a good day.Spend less now, work less later.0 -

Been away for a fab time up North, now home for three days to do as much as possible before school/work from Thursday.
so HHC at 9.15 anyone? Unpacking, laundry, breakfast & to do list needed first
MoamAlthough no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

Dogs walked. Now about to tackle my first 15 mins in the garden. Just hope that I can work quicker than the weeds can grow.
