    You deserve it though!

    Day #21 alcohol free and I confess to being glad there is no wine ready. Something about the summer solstice deserves a glass or two!

    Also DH annoyed me so much I actually bit through the skin on my finger. Please remind me next time I chirp about him getting marking contracts that he is not my fave person when hes marking!

    Weeeelll...its wall mounted. The alternatives are
    * pay someone to drill into our backyard concrete and put up a whirligig
    * have the washing on view in the front garden
    * pay for a load of oil keeping the aga on all summer.

    So washing line and baby belling purchased earlier will be paid for by just 4 weeks of having the aga off.

    Good question though.

    I am going to give myself marks out of ten each day for these areas...to give me less excuses...

    Money
    Diet and exercise
    Work
    Family

    Have I missed any?
