    Hellooo!

    I'm back from my hols and back at work. Been a busy weekend too and think I need to focus my brain on what needs doing especialy as it's Wednesday and it feels like a Monday!

    Tonight's tasks:
    - dark wash needs ironing
    - sort lunches
    - Hubby's birthday pressies need wrapping before he starts peeking
    - do a bit more of the x-stitch for his birthday card (5.5 wks to go, eek!)

    That'll do for now.

    Fairy, when you say you have some rollies to do I always think at first you mean ciggies to roll as my bessie always signs off our FB chats with " better go, got butties to make and rollies too" :rotfl:

    I've made a half decent start to the list so I'm breaking it into smaller steps. I'm going to try the post-it note idea so until I've done the jobs I can't turn on the tv.

    Today:
    - sort out recipes folder - I may have fallen asleep before this happened!
    - finish 1 jigsaw DONE
    - sort out edges of next jigsaw and spend half hour DONE
    - upload photos from the weekend done well they're on my laptop, just need putting on Flickr
    - shopping list for tomorrow done
    - sort out washing done
    - clear spare bed done
    - put clean clothes away done
    - sort things on desk (and hopefully locate passport!) done!! Though my passport was in the Kitchen - I'll never know why!
    - finish PD book for school done
    - PSED nbook for school done
    - Numeracy book for school this would be done but I ran out of A3 paper!

    that should keep me busy until later. Sorry if anyone hears my loud singing!!:D
