Wash the washer drawer out if it's gunky

Clean oven if you didn’t do it last week
Declutter mission task
[STRIKE]Sort any cupboard, doesn't have to be in the kitchen/dining room, even if it's just for 10 minutes [/STRIKE] Cleared the junk drawer (used to be the bib drawer and it devolved) and it is now my biscuit cutter drawer, so they are kept clean and grease-free.
Kitchen is looking SO much better - PLUS I've dropped off a load of paid ironing, returned books to library, made a pie for DH (still working poor pet), done toddler group this morning, dropped off surplus peas and broad beans to pal this afternoon, and am feeling a whole lot better.
Body hasn't been quite the temple it should have been - 2 choccie biscuits this morning, a fried egg sandwich for lunch (it was cold and I needed the comfort) and 6 squares of chocolate after the boys were in bed... none of which are on my meal plan!!!!!
On to catch up with my own ironing now... have a good evening everyone!

juliejim - i LOVE those books - find the first one secret dreamworld of a shopoholic it is v funny i have just finished shopoholic and baby

she also wrote the undomestic goddess which is great and can you keep a secret - i am sad because i often reread them!!!

shirleypark - hope things get easier for you soon - well done on venting!! sometimes you just need to -

think the practical work you would have had to have done on engineering would have been very challenging to me - i can waffle so...

this is a diploma in HE but my degree is primary education and english - loads of essays - and new shakespeare play every fortnight for one semester - it put me off reading

but thank goodness for shopoholic!!

*Under the influence of alcohol so please excuse any spelling mistakes*

I want to be able to be on and off the computer tomorrow morning so I can get on with all my jobs (need to do Wednesdays as well as I'm supposed to be out all day) while I have peace and quiet - I feel my music may have to be played loud tomorrow :dance: Actually looking at my list/plan I have on my computer I might as well clean top to bottom (I didn't get around to doing the livingroom properly) and give myself the rest of the week off which means I'll be able to bake and cook proper meals or tackle the school website

Hello all,
Signing in for my 2nd day - good going eh! This thread is going to be a great help.
Completed all tasks yesterday apart from cleaning oven - I have to be really in the mood to do that.... and I wasn't.
Already got a wash load going - please let the weather hold so it can dry outside.
Have a good day all of you. I'm going to spend the day torn between wanting the job agency to ring and offer me something and not wanting them to coz I'm quite getting to like this new unemployed status of mine. But God do we need the money!

Morning all. Been awake since 4.15 due to a thunderstorm which hasn't long ended, it seems that every time I just closed my eyes and started to drift back off there was another thunderclap :mad: Then at 7.10 OH came bursting into the bedroom switching the light on and banging about to get me up (I had said I wanted up, but that was before being awake half the night!) :rolleyes: I'm going to get stuck in now as I don't think my list will take me too long. Working on a combination of Flylady Fling & Hotspot & Decluttering a cupboard - I'm currently shredding all the paperwork in the shred box-file. There's loads of it. :rolleyes: Well I better get on as I'd like to get to the post office at 9am and straight to Asda from there :wave:
