    Wish I'd turned on earlier, it might have galvanised me into attacking the monsterfrog of an office. Back to uni today, so spent last few minutes before leaving frantically hunting for books/bits of paper etc many of which were on the floor :o

    Students are starting to leave now or go on placement, a bit sad really as I've had a nice bunch.

    No house flying to speak of unless cooking dinner counts.

    Did catch up on more potential work email enquiries (even more reason to get the office into some sort of order).
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.

    Evening.
    I am worn out, how on earth some of you manage, is beyond me, I have 2 jobs, work 7 days a week, and 'currently' am looking after 6 adults and 2 kids.....I just simply haven't stopped till now, and it is still not a week....they have all been here, 5 more weeks to go, got tonight off as someone else has taken them to London for a trip out.
    My house is a mess, the kitchen is even worse.............help :rotfl::rotfl:
    xx
    Gosh - I wonder how YOU manage with all you do :eek: Think life goes through phases though, you fill up every moment and then suddenly look back and realise you only doing half what you used to do before it all fills up again :rotfl:


    Hope you all have a fantastic Thursday

    Morning all. Sooo pleased its the LR today as thats what I wanted to do before the paid stuff. And yes I know that makes me sad!

    I did manage to clean the bath and shower yesterday so there's something off the list.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.
  • Thanks Fmess - that is really helpful and spurs me on to reach the magic 10,000 a day - I did 8-9000 the past two days which is a lot more than usual!!!!

    Just about to do the bathroom before I shower and then HHE before tackling the remainder of the list and assorted other more important things.

    Have a great day everyone xx Take Care Mothernerd.

    All LR specific jobs from the list are done. There are already paw prints across the clean floor, but no matter.

    Time for wash, get dressed and walk the dogs before the paid stuff.
