    Morning everyone, well I was tucked up in bed at 9.30pm last night and feel much better for it! Lots of paid stuff to get through today plus a hair appointment for me and docs appointment for DS2. Oh and Tesco shopping is coming 4-5pm.

    Hugs to bossy's mum - and anyone else who needs it.

    Pennywise, a frog is a task that you dont want to do and have been putting off for ages. Some clever person might be able to post a link to the full explanation.

    Good luck with the garden Skint, those weeds had better watch out!

    Going to hang the washing out and generally get myself ready for the day.

    PWPS - its tackling a job that has been eating away at you really, something you've been putting off. I think the theory goes that if yoiu eat a frog first thing in the morning, nothing else can be as bad for the rest of the day. And actually it works. You can feel quite virtuous after tackling something you've put off and it isn't on your mind all the time either.

    Enough of my witterings. Good morning everyone. A lie in has been had, just having a cuppa, then plan to shower, walk the dogs and make sausages in rolls for brekkie before the paid stuff. Will see what I can tackle from the list later.

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

    Morning all

    Slow start here but DS1, DS3 and DH all away to work and school. DS2 has woken with a sore throat, hope it doesn't develop into anything.

    Hoovering and mopping for me then a shower and off to the shops in another town, DS3 only has one pair of shorts for holiday.
