My goodness Skinty - you are putting me to shame and when I saw the timing of your post - well I agree with JulieJim - get some sleep!!!!

Have already sorted what needs to go where and be withdrawn ready for pay day on Friday. It is weigh in first thing and then quick dash to charity shop for first proper (perhaps solo) till shift!!! scared a little as it can be temperamental - the till that is!!

Then lunch with DSis as can't do any other day.

Home to make coffee walnut cake for museum coffee morning Wednesday. I have filled my week up with extras for everyone - I may be somewhat cash poor but time rich so that can be given freely.

Please send more healing vibes for DS GF - first xray to see if back fractures are mending tomorrow.

MAy just find time to do a little before I go out this morning - will look at the lists and do a double HHC NOW!!!

morning all
thank you for the lists
i hope all are well
skinty, i hope by now you are asleep!
DH has gone back work so im back in, have had a lovely 2 weeks off. did off list flying, took mum bro and sis plus most of ours out for a meal, and have made a commitment not to leave things like that so long in future. going to see dad this weekend. have realised its easier somethimes to just bibble along doing what you always do instead of what you should do. (friends funeral was a big part of this realisation) have also been reading a couple of great books - the happiness project by gretchen rubin and be brilliant everyday by andy cope. watched bob newhart stop it! as a result of reading the last one it is brilliant and had me crying with laughter. it was also a bit of a wake up call for me as i am the worlds biggest worrier of ridiculous things. (not taking anything away from the seriousness of depression here, i know that is a serious illness, mine is just low level constant fretting)
started a cross stitch ive had in my stash for ages yesterday so im going to do an hour on that then crack on with the lists.

Yesterday's results

Ironing done

Large sofa, small sofa, nest of tables, tv stand all moved and henried underneath with DH as they are too heavy for me to do.

Another wet dark day here. Boys have been up since 6am. They are being very loud.

Not sure what to tackle so off to look at the listy x

Ok I'm going to do some ironing - probably keep going until 11 while I watch Sea Patrol.

Feel free to join me for any part of it!

Morning all. Had a lie in till 8am, today is my own. First cuppa being consumed then I need to book the hair appts and phone HA.

Have a great day everyone.

Another piece of furniture cleared the table in the bedroom now only has my box of hair stuff on it (that's ok, it's where it's meant to be) and my hairbrush)

Going well so far! There was a bit of washing up left from last night so I need to get cracking with that this morning. And make a start on regularly wiping down the bathroom sinks etc.

Gradually getting there I think...

Morning!

I'm sat here in my lovely tidy garage/office, dressed in my winter pjs lol. I have primark fleece pjs and primark cheap ugg-style boots that are my winter slippers. I've had a shower and I'm working, but I'm being cosy at the same time.

Kiddies are at my mums so it's all peaceful apart from WM churning my bedding around. I'll do the spare bed too as MIL is coming to stay tonight.

So, I'll crack on with paid stuff and am going for a tour of he new school building tonight! Exciting!

Mrs MP I'm glad you are planning to take some time for yourself. I had a stern word from the consultant last week about making sure I have lots of rest and let people help me, apparently we don't have to be superwoman and we won't get a medal for making ourselves ill something we could all take home really x

Hi,


I tried to fly a few years ago but failed miserably! I need to take back some control (in many areas) but have decided to start with house & diet. I'm going to start small this week with levels 1&2 only, tbh that might get smaller next week when school starts & I go back to work but every little helps right.


Bank Holiday Monday - kitchen and dining room
Level one
Sweep and mop floors
Level Two
Wipe worksurfaces and small appliances
Run the large appliances through a clean cycle

Tuesday - Living Room, Hall and Stairs
Level 1
Vacuum floors and sofas
Level 2
Dusting, even if around everything
Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe



I menu planned over the weekend for the whole of September, the plan being I go back to ordering food online so we spend less and eat better!


Extras today:
clean inside of car
clean hamster
organise playdate for dd2 later in the week
ring bike shop for repair
fold clothes & put away
collect dd1 from work
take dd2 to swimming lesson

Well, what I'm about to say will sound a tad ironic, but I hope you take it in the spirit intended. I just wanted to congratulate you on your incredible determination to turn your garage into 'your' space in your house because I know you've been working at that project for months, SuperBossy!


Enjoy your space. (My lappy won't let me do smilies - insert the clappie one.)


Dusting will occur here. The whole place is fluffy. Why is the bathroom the dustiest room in the house?
