    Morning all. Dailies done, bed stripped, remade and WM now on the go. It's raining here so not sure if I'll get out with the dogs before the paid stuff. Right, must go, need to take the dye out of DD's hair.

    Have a great day everyone.l

    Whizz round @ldi for dinner and cider
    Give blood -- second attempt, fainted the first time :eek:
    Pick up DS1 from home, collect DS2 from school
    Round trip to Wales to collect DD for the weekend
    Cook dinner

    Morning all :D

    We were in bed for 8.30pm last night! The antibiotics I'm taking are making me very tired but last one is Sunday and my mouth is looking much better so I'm just going to put up with the tiredness! I managed to get up and take the midnight dose of the other antibiotics so I'm just a little happy at that as normally I'm not so good at getting up :o

    Been up since 6am today and was doing paid stuff by 7am, then I remembered I had to take my meds so I stopped for brekkie :o DD was out of here at 7.30am again as the weather forecast is for rain and she wanted to get to school and inside before it arrives. She's taken a brolly, but no coat as she's in the same building for all her lessons except one today so it wasn't worth it. We've agreed that Sunday is going to be a calender day where we'll put dates in both planners, onto the wall calender and onto our browser calenders (we use fir3fox so use r3mind3rfox as a calender as you can schedule stuff to repeat with a couple of clicks ;)) so in theory we'll both know whats what. Will also have to make sure we give Ex the dates of stuff like the carol concert (DD is in the singing club so will be performing) and award things, while I'll be attending parents evenings and other such meetings solo from now on.

    Todays plan:
    Kitchen S&S
    Bathroom S&S
    Make beds
    WM x1
    Ironing
    Mr A order (I've bought the delivery pass so going to make the most of it as I need paper ;))
    Books out to customers

    I'm planning on putting the books out just after 9am so I miss all the kids going to school and the parents in the shop when I go for my treat. ;) Off to finish sorting out the books but I'll be back later probably :D :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
