Morning everyone. Had a great night out with DH last night seeing a comedian so feel like I am having a proper weekend even if I do have to cram everything in to two days at the moment. So today:
Wrap DD's birthday pressie (only job from yesterday's list I didn't get done)
Walk dogs twice
Gym
Bath
Put chicken in slow cooker
Make fruit salad
Ironing
Hoover properly through house
Anything else I can find time for.
Have a great Sunday everyone.Spend less now, work less later.0 -
Morning,
Much more peaceful start to the day. We are still in bed! Kiddies have yoghurts etc and are under my duvet watching cartoons. So I can enjoy my cuppa.
Today I'm going to S&S my upstairs sinks / loos then we have a rather cluttered garage floor to contend with. Plus a spot of ironing and getting bags ready for school and work. Ooh, must check my emails today...Bossymoo

Deco glad you had a good 'wool' day
Had mainly a pottering day yesterday, have half pruned the large cherry plum at the front but going to require assistance to finish it. Time to create a list and make a cuppa I think, everybody else is still in bed, it is so lovely and quiet.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
