    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.

    Good luck to those returning to school and work today, especially those going somewhere new.

    Welcome and be kind to yourself sweetie. So sorry to hear about your husbands passing. Don't worry about anything you don't do, we don't, just be pleased with anything you do achieve.

    Cuppa and shower for me. My mother is coming over to sort out some of her paperwork this morning so need to be productive before then.

  • Hi Miss - reporting in a bit late for Registration!

    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

    Moam
    Although 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.


    Snowball says too far away, working hard to bring it forward.

    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.

    Well that turned into 30 mins which is a good start. Two borders weeded. Now to clear and wipe the tables in kitchen and DR.

  • I'm definitely ready for this. I need to get everything sorted in my house/ work/life so this looks like a good place to start.

    Last day off today and then we are all back. Going to start on the Monday list now and then I've promised the kids Frankie and Bennys for lunch as a last treat (and it will save messing up the newly tidy kitchen).
