  • Thanks for new thread. Got a head's start having hoovered all downstairs today so looking forward to a fantastic and motivating week.
    My main targets are to make SEVERE progress on the business/office lists - liked last week's "having a meeting with myself dictating into tablet" as it felt like a proper work meeting, with minutes and actions.

    Target 2 make progress sorting out holiday photos, as 4 friends coming to dinner on Friday and although they are interested, don't want to bore them rigid wading through carp ones (lots of out of focus humming birds anyone?).

    Target 3 is my challenge piece of writing.

    Have a great week everyone.
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.

    im finishing my cuppa and then off to bed ....... night all see you all in the morning

    DD1 and DD2 safely decluttered with most of their clutter to university. I have invented a new meaning for an existing word "Unification" when money is so tight dropping your children at University is treated like a vacation with the remainder of your family in tow for the ride!

    All young Skints currently asleep, I am going to watch come iplayer and fall asleep before midnight, at least that is the plan!

    nighty night :wave:
    The cold never bothered me anyway
