Thanks jwil. Mr tc is impressed too and wishes he could just stop-I wish he could too. I did tell him I have to psyche myself up to stop and have a plan. I couldnt just say 'right I'm going to stop', it had to be ' on such and such a day or at the end of this packet'
I'm really pleased with myself though, it's over 3 weeks so far. I feel so much better for not smoking too.

Went for a lovely walk with Mr tc yesterday, down by the canal. It was nice in the sunshine.
We are going to try and go for more walks now that we have put the clocks forward-we all need the exercise.
Went out for a lovely meal last night for Mother's Day as DD1 was off yesterday but she has to work today.


Happy Mothering Sunday to all mums out there.
I got some lovely cards and chocolates today.
I made my mum a card and posted it and she loved it. I'll phone her later as she will be at church this morning.

Done a bit of baking this morning, might make some other stuff in a bit. I have been heavily into baking lately. I have to be in the mood to do it and usually do loads or none. :rotfl:

Right, going to drink my coffee.

Well, I'm not too disappointed with my list for march.
Need to up my game on many fronts if I am to achieve all I would like to achieve this year.

I only just stayed in target with grocery challenge-need to work harder at this-which is where meal planning comes in and being a more savvy shopper.

I would say that's a resounding success for March - well done you. :beer:

Hope you had a lovely Mother's Day. I got cards, chocs and flowers and it was lovely. Can't say it was the most leisurely Mother's Day I've ever had but it was productive and I am pleasantly knackered tonight.

I have a large to-do list but I only plan for day to day with vague ideas for week to week. I like your idea of doing a monthly set of targets - will think about doing one for April and see how I get on.

Thanks peaceandfreedom.
I had a busy day. I did 2 lots of baking, cooked dinner. emptied and refilled dishwasher 3 times.
DD1 did make me a cup of tea.
I got chocolates and a wine glass from my girlies.
They've disappeared off to their rooms about half an hour ago-so I probably won't see them again until morning.

I still need to do my list for April...
Right gonna have some peppermint tea that Mr tc has just made for me.

tattycath

Monday morning!
I got up at 7.45 today
Been to docs-not got to go back for a month! thank goodness.
Had a coffee first thing, now having a cup of tea whilst I compile my to do list. I need to do 2. One for today's jobs and one for next month-April.

tattycath

Ok, so today didn't go to plan.
I ended up doing yet more paperwork for Mr tc-hoping it's all done now so I can start on my to do list tomorrow-after I have had time to sort it out.

tattycath

Went to Mr A's last night.
My lovely DD2 bought me GBSB sew your own wardrobe pack as a belated Mother's Day gift. :T :j
I also spotted the book A Girl Called Jack-so I bought it out of some money a friend gave me as she didn't know what gift to buy me as a leaving present.:j
I shall definitely be trying some of the recipes very soon!

Just having a cuppa and checking bank accounts; gonna have a bath and get on with some jobs.

tattycath

I now feel more human again no have managed to do a 'to do' list for today/tomorrow-depending how much I get done today-21 things on my list today, I'd like to get at least 15 things done before 4.15pm-so that gives me 4 hours.
