Wow this thread moves pretty fast! Haven't had a chance for more than a skim read so hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine (if they have it). Not a very productive day for me yesterday, so I am sticking with my pit of an office. I'm going to divide it into sections and work on one section at a time, shouldn't seem like such a big job then!Kitchen Debt - 2820/260Save £12k in 2013 #060: 1293.24/3000MFW: 88760.00/85000.00 (4.24% paid)0

Laundry now outside and wm dealing with load 2, breakfast munched and list reviewed. Due to the length of my list still for this week I am going to tackle today in small steps.
My plan of action for this morning:
Clear and clean the dining table
1 hours studying
Get laundry load 2 outside and get next load in wm
Give dd breakfast once she is up (I will wake her if she is not up in the next HH)
Feed the pets and fill up feed bins
Collect up the rest of the laundry
Make a start on diary for next month
I think that is enough to keep me out of trouble this morning.0 -

The WM is twirling on my second load with three more to go but I need to rationalise Lovely Lodger's first load which is taking up too much line space. It's sunny here - yay! Three beds stripped, all towels gathered from various points in the house and the first bowlful of handwashing is soaking. Today, I think, must be the first day of spring, or something, for me to feel this invigorated.
I had a breakthrough on the Frog last night, but it's going to take several more days.Better is good enough.0 -

4x WM loads on the line, 5th in machine and 2 more waiting. It's not as sunny as I'd like here, but at least it's dry and warm!
Exchange of contracts on both sale and purchase has been accomplished. Moving on 12th, so packing will start in earnest on Sunday - today I'm sorting removals and utilities (insurance is already done) and tomorrow I must swallow the frog that I've been chewing away at all week. DH is clearing his computer table
Still stressed, but very relieved
Lots of flyladies appear to be on a roll today! (((Hugs))), spoons and sticks to all in need.0 -

got a load of cuddlies in the wm, the idea is to get them washed dried and given new ribbons etc and get them donated to the school fete before any of the kids notice they are missing
been in attic and brought a load of cassette tapes down hoping to go through them with DH and cull most of them.
just going to hang the washing out then ill make a start on the lists
