Cooked roast dinner with beef enough leftover for another meal which I must slice and freeze it before I go to bed or it will disappear.
Did crosswords etc in newspaper.
Sorted and tidied a lot of my craft stuff.
Checked bank accounts

Hmm, obviously have quite a way to go to getting my list done...

Things achieved this weekend...

3 loads of clothes washing done, dried mostly on the line
Bedding washed and dried mostly on the line
2 portions of curry into the freezer
Dinner from the freezer on Sunday
Vacuumed downstairs
mopped kitchen and downstairs toilet
cleaned shower - including the yucky bits you cant see
cleaned toilet
actually put soap into the soap dispenser in our bathroom and put the other soap dispenser back where it came from
cleaned the sink and dish rack
made shortbread - ate it all, oops

to do tonight...

make soup x 4 portions
fold and put away clothes from weekend washing
do washing up if DH hasn't done it
check on broccoli growing in the garden and eat before it gets too big

Makes be feel much better listing the things I have done rather than the things I still need to do. I know that's probably not the point tho!

Hope you don't mind me joining. Now I've got most of the paperwork done for the year (only 13 more days at my current school) I'm finding it difficult to get going with other jobs! I don't have many things to do tonight which is probably a good thing as I'm shattered!

Tonight's jobs:
[strike]Have a shower
Find folder with half termly assessments
Watch one of my unwatched DVDs
Read 2 chapters of my book
Sort out books list[/strike]
Watch Tour de France highlights so i know what OH is talking about later
