    Needs to be Action week this week. Getting more and more behind.

    1.Catch up of voluntary work admin - fairly urgent now.
    2. Order online microwave for mum - hers broke, went to see her at weekend, chose one but none in stock:(
    3. Pick up prescription. Didn't start new meds as spanner in the works - we are thinking of doing a big family holiday this year after many years of doing local/Uk (which is lovely). DH desperately wants to, so do kids, I'm teetering on edge, as the cautious me wants to save money towards mortgage/have a buffer. if we do go might need some vaccinations that I couldn't have after starting meds..... so need to make calls and get all info required.
    4. Book phsyio
    5. Another quote to do for new enquiry - looks promising :)
    6.Its a beautiful day today, and I so want to get into the garden for half an hour at least, even if I just brush down cobwebs. from around windows - spring is definitely here :)
    7.Need to do grocery shop and get petrol too before pick up time at 5pm.

    Here goes.
    Have a lovely day

    Hello Puzz:)
    Had a lovely Friday night/Saturday, spent lots of time catching up with DD. Ds is very loving but boys don't chat in the same way :)
    DD very much like a best friend now - though I do try hard not be telling her what to do/not do when it comes to friends/situations and how to deal with them - still want to be the protective mum :o she has grown in so many ways having learnt the hard way.

    Not to keen on needles myself but needs must and all that.

    So far only item 4 ticked off my list plus a 45min chat on phone with sister (oops)

    Have a lovely day too

    Fairly successful day, a few things ticked off and some well on their way.
    Also spent two hours pottering in the garden. Heaven.
    Exhausted now though.

    Similar day tomorrow to catch up some more.
    Have a sleepful night

    Thanks Bob - it really was.

    Have had a productive morning with SE work this morning.
    Need to nip into town now to pay in cheques and some charity fundraising money.
    Drop off form at surgery for possible jabs required for holiday, so can make decision re starting meds.
    Buy milk! DS started eating cereal again after some weeks of not, so ran out this am and had to have black tea at 10 :(
    Drop of ankle boots for reheeling to get another year out of them.
    Sun has come out again after a grey start, so hope to get at least 30mins in garden again.

    Mum's microwave is on it way to her. Funny how I manage to get everything that's needed done for her but still haven't got round to getting my dishwasher fixed - although admittedly have tried a couple of times without success - hate inefficient companies who employ people who don't know what they are talking about:mad:

    Promised myself no rage today, only calm and quiet :D
    Have a lovely day.

    Thanks Brizzle.
    Determination fired up by lots of exasperation providing the fuel at the moment, The sunshine helps too :)

    Todays is glowing pink and yellow outside, so will do at least 30 mins outside again.
    Have done a morning of work, a couple of phone calls, and there's leftovers for dinner so no need to cook - just steam veg to add tonight.

    Have had a quick look at I&E and started updating as creditors getting itchy - one has been calling everyday this week, I answered it today, but after 10 mins chat over any changes in circumstance, cut call short saying I would send in I&E. As am working from next week until 4th April need to get then dine and dusted.

    Auto correct and fatigue make for wonderful typing:o

    Morning:)
    Don't know where this week has gone.
    Progress made but still plenty to do. Am meeting friend for coffee - haven't seen her in 4 years? her dd and my dd used to be close at primary school.
    This is part of my efforts to expand my world a little more - past few years focussing on family taken its toll, but there are some friends who you can just pick up with where you left off - I think this is one of them.

    Wont get much as done today as then doing my volunteer work this pm.
    10 degrees colder today :(

    Have a lovely weekend
