Paid stuff finished for the day. It could use some flylady principles. CHAOS reigns.
I'm going to try have some planning time tomorrow as well as doing IYSWIM.
Just put sausages on for littlies to have with their jackets for tea, expect they'll be home shortly. Might do some sweetcorn too. Also need to sort packed breakfast and lunch for me. There's plenty of food in...
How many bags did you get pigpen? My shock was how many bags for the little amount of shopping. I expect you must have got hundreds?
Starting work really early tomorrow.
And then I have a date. Oh and the other one has got back in touch. Can't quite work him out. Perhaps he's struggling with the idea of my circumstances...Bossymoo
