Oh come on! Stake through the heart. A little sunlight. It's like falling off a log"

Oh dear.


horrible tummy ache - not related to the dinner, I suspect related to me feeling super anxious. I am never getting the house straight.


am so angry at myself. I think buying things can solve problems and it doesn't. I really did believe I would get it all sorted out. But I am cold, fed up and anxious. There isn't a single room in the house that is straight. I am so stupid. I need to grow up, grow a pair and get on with it.

How long have you got to try to make things a wee bit better?
What are the most important things that you can do?

Oi you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Don't do this is yourself Buffy (I know its easy for others to say). If you do think that today could have gone better then write it off and start again tomorrow.

Can I distract you with this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/culturepicturegalleries/9443826/From-Topaz-to-Psycho-top-52-Hitchcock-films.html

Bet there's loads you disagree with - have a shout at the screen and let us know what your faves are and why xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I cleaned out two kitchen drawers.

The most important thing is my room actually. If I am really truthful, that is what I should have done. I have cleaned most of the kitchen cupboards (two bags of food to the bin) and kept on top of the washing till this weekend. I really wanted to paint my room to be honest but only have tomorrow to do it. need to food shop and go to the tip as well! plus of course get ready for work.


The conservatory is a mess but I can put a lot of that in the shed (!)
Mum is back Wednesday morning. I can't take time off work. I have all my work in the living room.

too sleepy for that now, I basically love all his films, creepy little man that he was!

Kitchen is less gross and once the dishwasher is finished I can clean up today. Mum has duplicates of lots of kitchenware so I have been liberating them for my house. When I get one.

I have a bottle opener and a tin opener. Pretty much covers my kitchen needs!
Bathroom is goodish.

I can't believe I thought I would have time to paint my room. Is it possible to do it in a day do you think? is that nuts? it is nuts. Am only painting it white.

plan tomorrow is

1. up early
2. walk dogs
3. go to supermarket
4. clear out room.
5. rearrange room
6. toy with the idea of painting it.
7. hoover downstairs.
8. Clean out piggies
9. get ready for work.
10. Put much of my work stuff in my boot.


The new woman in the Mentalist has a really odd looking face.


Monday night

go to the tip if it is open
put stuff in the shed
hoover and tidy up downstairs and upstairs.


Tuesday night

tutor
prep a level
pop to supermarket for anything I need.
sleep.

Wednesday

SEE MUM!!!

If you started painting an empty room at 8am, then yes you could get it painted in a day. But I'd always allow 2-3 days as I'd not want to sleep in a freshly painted room until the smell/fumes had chance to die down.

beanielou

Do not start painting room .
Think your priority should be living room.
What are you putting in shed?
Can you ditch it?

beanielou

Pookey~~How are you & yours?
Never seem to come across you these days?

Why do you give yourself additional pressure when you already have heaps to do? Do not paint that room unless you get some kind of energy high from paint fumes that turns you into wonder woman.

Buffythedebtslayer

Yeah will leave painting it, possibly till next year now!


walked dogs, been to sainsburys, had breakfast and about to have a cup of tea


Then I will just be tidying up.




cheers ladies

I agree, leave painting the room until you have more time to do it. A rush job with make you wish you hadn't bothered and the rest of the stuff will still be there making you feel miserable about it.

It's good you have a list to work through (unless it makes you feel more pressured). How about setting an alarm for say 15-30 mins per room and see how much you can get done in that time before moving on to the next room and doing the same? (Allowing for breaks as well obviously). If all the rooms look a bit better it might make you feel you have achieved what you wanted to Xx
