    Good morning all :wave:

    Yes, I know that it is an unmentionable hour - though I somehow suspect that you will already be up with DS2, mummyroys. How you still manage to find the energy to study, I simply don't know - wish I could get my brain in gear! I fell into bed at 10.00 last night, and 6 hours of broken sleep is pretty good for me at present.

    I didn't achieve much yesterday. We took a picnic lunch out and enjoyed it at one of our local beauty spots, with glorious views all round as far as the Welsh borders, Cotswolds and Malverns. I meant to mow the lawn when we got home, but my colleague rang about the course (which she is basically happy with :) ) and after that I cooked tea and forgot to get the mower out afterwards, so I am hoping that we won't get any of the "scattered rain showers" that are forecast for this morning while I am out. Or maybe DH will do it if I ask him - but he's in a funny mood again and is unlikely to want to :(

    Thank you for the new thread, Dusty. I'm in for as much of the week as I can. We've got an all-day meeting with my colleague on Friday and a day of cuddles with DGS3 on Saturday :D

    Here are my June challenges, bossy:
    - Lose another 5 lb
    - Finish writing this course
    - Finish the planting out
    - Finish touching up the paint all round the house
    - Get the voile up in the kitchen


    Right, have decluttered my first cuppa of the day (always the best one!) so must quickly check my finances and then get down to work.

    (((Hugs))), spoons and sticks where needed. Hope everyone has a good week x

    Morning everyone, dont feel very lively yet!

    6 hours of paid stuff to get out of the way then I will crack on with the kitchen.

    Must look at my finances today if I can.

    Might hang the washing out in a minute, even though its a bit drizzly, it is supposed to get better.

    Oh and I need to sort out some grocery shopping. I have been shopping at L@dl but I seem to be spending more, not less! I think its partly because I am forever popping in there and picking things up and partly because there are some things I cant get so I am going elsewhere anyway.
  • Hi all - yes I was up too Ionafan - awake from 3!!!!!

    My challenge this month is:
    Lose 3 lbs more before June 30th Anniversary holiday ( just in case I put it back on!)
    Sort one box of paperwork for each week I am in the country - so three boxes.

    Yesterday afternoon I managed to do 4 loads of washing , remake beds, hoover all through, go for lovely walk and have a glass of wine in the pub (must do more often)

    Today have:
    lots of phone calls, emails and money to sort
    ironing to do
    DW and WUDUPA
    Dusting
    Vol Job 1 morning.

    Will add fly list - thanks Natty and Dusty frot he lists and Bossy for the Challenge

    I'm in, but today I'm hopefully going to get some of the garden done :o
    I haven't thought about a June challenge yet but promise I will.
    I'm currently trying to get DD2 out of her pit :mad: she was meant to washing her hair this morning but that's obviously not going to happen now :mad:
    WM and TD both on, DW will be on in a minute, DD1 has the dentist this morning so not much else will get done til after

    Morning all, I'm in again, thanks for the list and will try harder this week, but given paid stuff is manic I may struggle.

    These challenges are great.

    Jennyjewell - I was interested to read your post on last week's thread re simplifying your life. I did a similar thing several years ago as I was involved in so many things that I wasn't able to concentrate on my family. I've never regretted it, the stress lifts, but I still help at one off events etc, I just don't get bogged down with it all.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.
