    Didn't get on yesterday and been really busy at work today too. I'm shattered.

    Dailies have been done both days. Will start the lists tomorrow. I did want go and spend my book tokens as I'm worried in case the firm goes bust but will see what the weather is like.

    Hugs spoons and sticks where needed.

    Managed today:
    - gym x 2
    - popped into shop on way home and got fair bit of reduced stuff
    - hoovered lounge, dining room, hall and stairs
    - de-cluttered (very poorly as just gathered piles) above rooms
    - cleared and cleaned dining room table as needed for work
    afternoon taken over with work (assessment) so need to write up before I forget any little details.
    - cooked dinner including making date pudding which I just fancied but no doubt negates both gym classes
    - did tiny bit of guitar practice
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.
  • aparently we have the switch but its never been connected to the water tank and it doesnt have an emersion fitted, so for the last 28 years ive been flicking the switch thinking that im speeding the boiler up heating the water... ...and all i was doing was putting a little red light on in the cupboard

    This is the sort of thing that happens to me... :eek::rotfl:

    Miss Valli says thanks for the birthday wishes. She and DS have been out for tea with Grandparents because I had to work - presentation to parents - and present.
    :eek: C section was less scary ;)

    Not much flying will be done today I fear...

    DW has been emptied. Work colleague wore a top last week I rather decided would suit me - turns out she had bought in two sizes and wtill had the larger size - brought it for me to try on and it fits - and it's mine. My kind of shopping - when someone else does it :rotfl: just got to hand over the readies now
