    That's my problem, too busy making lists that looks A1 to actually do anything on them, nevermind tomorrow is another day ... and i have a lovely printed list of tasks with a little picture of a house on it! How sad am I?
    byee for today

    Can I join the sad club, riversidejo? ;) I just love printing out the lists, putting bits in bold, changing the colours .. it looks great stuck on the fridge and puts off the moment when I actually have to DO something.

    Works for me for cooking too. Read the recipe, print the recipe, file the recipe, allocate it to a day but then don't cook. :o

    It's not even procrastinating but there must be a name for it, maybe it's a syndrome.

    Because i did NOTHING yesterday I have started on living room. Hall is still full of building materials for DH to do some work in the house when he gets a day off from BUILDING!! I do sympathise with him because who wants to do same work at home but hall looks like a builders' merchants. We do have a huge hall which I am sure I could put to better use.

    Will do all bedrooms on friday (as per last week). Just a quick S&S of bathroom, kitchen and lounge.

    Have been to the bungalow again today and have painted the kitchen (2 coats), girls rooms finished pink and lemon with disney princess border just need to gloss the door and touch up the skirting board. DH started painting our room, but need to put a coat of white on first (maybe 2) to cover the purple before putting our colour on. Had a trip to the DIY place to get the paint too.

    Had lovely tea, HM nuggets, HM chicken Curry (both from batches in freezer)and Stir fry veg & noddles. Need to make some pizzas up for the freezer too so think that will go on Fridays list.

    Not so many of the usuals around this week (guess everyone is busy, busy, busy).

    Happy flying all.

    hiya, i'm so glad i'm not the only bone idle maker of pretty lists, it's very important to have a schedule that looks just right isn't it ? LOL
    Well today i have surpassed myself, had a late night last night, DH went out for a drink with best mate, and i woke up at midnight waiting for him to come in thinking he was probably in A & E. Irrational thought- isn't it great. Today lacking sleep dreadfully, can't remember if i took thyroxine yesterday either, spend all day trying to decide wether to sell my lovely unused expensive magimix and buy a bargain Kenwood foodmixer from Makro. But which kind is really the best to buy???? OOps going to bed noww obviously over tired. Will be back at my list of tasks tomorrow with avengeance...byee
    Wife, mother and domestic nightmare :o
