      • [STRIKE]Beds[/STRIKE]
      • [STRIKE]Bathroom S&S[/STRIKE]
      • Dishes - Will do after my lunch
      • Kitchen S&S - After the dishes are done
      • WM - only a cleaning cloth one to do today and thats only as they haven't come out clean after being used to clean the kitchen floor:o :D- After the kitchen is S&S
      • WATER GARDEN - This evenings job when it's all in the shade.
      • Uniforms for tomorrow

    RIGHT, Off to grab something to eat so I'm not tempted by the bakery :o Then I'm off out. :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.

    Thanks all! happyathome - five days until EDD!!! I'm hoping that she'll come before then though. I'm not normally this impatient about things (on christmas day, I make my presents last ALL DAY, it drives my sister crazy - she's only 15 and wants everything now!). I really want to meet this baby though. She keeps threatening to come out, but it seems she's rather like me and my airing cupboard - all talk and no action. :o

    Feeling slightly more positive now. Have finished my dailies and put away my tesco shop as well as completing one of the blackboards at work - the other one should only take me half an hour. :j
