  • Got quite a bit done already, just decluttering a coffee and a mince pie then might actually get into the shower. WM churning away too, wasn't on my list but needs must. I'm avoiding the ironing pile that is tucked neatly into the futility room.

    Right onwards, have some paid stuff to do too.

    Morning all, what a stormy night. Right well I'm back to the paid stuff today but will walk dogs, sort out catalogues for recycling and quickly hoover downstairs first. I have already watered my plants so that's one tick on the list already!

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    My house is a mess it hasn't been this bad for a long time B-F (before flying lol) today I need to start with the kitchen and bathroom then hopefully the rest will follow.

    I want my tree down too it looks a mess but OH is insisting we keep it up. Thank you for ds2 birthday wishes it was decided he was not contagious and it was just the aftermath of his poorliness the last week.

    Kids are fighting already I am going to hide in the kitchen for a bit.

    Morning all

    Feeling much better today but not found any drive to tidy up yet which is so not me.

    Going to read another chapter, have a shower and start with our bedroom which is not too bad.
