Make sure book bags, PE kits, your work stuff is all ready for next week

my list
Write a New Toots List (this is a list of all the jobs you want to get done from decorate a room, hang a picture etc) - burn or bin your old one (you can have a sneaky compare if you like). Now go through and put the month in which you are going to do the tasks next to them. We tend to over estimate how much we will achieve in the short term and under estimate what we can achieve in the longer term.

tree and deccys down and put away properly
sort through shoes that were put away before christmas and declutter some

I'm fairly sure I did report that I had achieved this

You probably did and I missed it, I'll fix it

Just off for a shower, putting the WM on (I skipped NYD too) and to feed neighbours mogs.

Going to cycle into town today as the rain has finally stopped.

Morning flyladies :wave:

I'm already up and dressed :eek: as we're waiting for DSIL to drop off DN2 for the day -- DN1 is off for an MRI on his head, he has a lot of health problems at the moment so if you have any posivibes going spare, I'd really appreciate them xx

Once I'm back from dropping them at the station, I'm going to get stuck into yesterday's wash load with the iron and get the LR back to rights after the party -- it went well, lovely and relaxed, DH was really helpful :A

Good wishes and get well soon vibes to those in need xx

mrs-moneypenny

froddington brilliant news about locating the grave,
hugs and good health vibes to all that need them

Morning all and belated Happy New Year.

NYE at NN's was lovely as usual and we all had a huge lie-in yesterday. I took DS1 to work, had a look in Mr M's for RTC fruit/veg and meat (without success), sorted filling for wraps for tea and organised new diary/calendar. Quite a pleasant and peaceful day, really, but I'm ready to step it up again, now.

I slept really badly last night and almost didn't get up in time to sort a doctor's appointment for DH. He's hurt his back and is struggling quite a bit, but still wants to go to a shopping outlet not too far away. Will have to talk to him about this soon - even if I'm off work, I still have other stuff to do (and lots of it). He'll either have to get involved or go out on his own! Maybe we really should get a dog...

So no time to sort (let alone start on) the list this morning - I'll get DS2 ready to go out and make his brother's tea to take to work. At least he's off for the next two days.

I'll 'see' you all this afternoon.

Beautifully bright and sunny here for a change! Plan to go shopping at Stratford (London) with DD and DS2, and waiting for them to get up.

One load of washing in, and will do some flying before we go, but will swap bedrooms for somewhere else, as everyone else still in bed!

Just dropping in to give you all a wave. I'll be joining you on Monday

Bright and sunny here too; bedding in WM.
