    So W/C 10th Mar

    Meal plan - done (ish) :D
    Sort out baba's clothes - started today, this is quite difficult as he's just turned 10 months but is still in some 6-9 clothes but not all. So makes it difficult to know which ones to remove.
    Declutter my wardrobe, however this won't leave me much to wear... :D - one wardrobe done, it now houses my going out and work clothes.
    Sit up programme (10/20 every other day) - fail, start again in the morning
    Add more photos to hard drive - fail
    Order photos for the numerous frames I have sitting around the house. - Fail
    Arrange some days to go into work before going back in May and book some leave - fail, although I'm in work tomorrow for a course so will stay and complete this then

    Sorry I'm out of action this week. Must have overdone things the last couple of weeks. Got clumsy -broke a glass. Bad back at weekend,threw up on Sunday night and leg pains returned with a vengeance.

    Doctor has given me painkillers but says I must rest the leg or it will get worse. Will work out if I can do anything lying in bed but think I needed to switch off for a bit -when you realise you have only been out of the front door to put stuff in the bins, it's time to take a break.Hope I'm back next week.

    Good luck everyone.
    My mission in life is not only to survive,but to thrive and to do so with some Passion, some Compassion, some Humour and some Style.

    Hi, these tasks went fairly well :-

    1) Opted for outdoor sowing.
    2) Tidied so space for anything now.
    3) Read a lot about this plant and possible diseases; at a guess, probably weather damage afterall so will leave for now.
    4) Tried to make some soups and stocks tastier by adding more flavour; about half used.
    5) Too much thinking again/definitely less time talking about "ill health".
    6) Very interesting and relieves somewhat the above i.e. no.5.
