Morning all, LittleyDog got me up a 5.30 as she has skin problems AGAIN!!
I've just had a cuppa and some cereal, so I'm now going to wash up, go in gym, have a bath, do the ironing and walk the dogs before the paid stuff.
Have a great day everyone.Spend less now, work less later.0 -
Morning all,
Oh but it's cold here this morning, frost warning went off in the car for the first time this winter.
Completed yesterday's list with only the exception of two items in the mending pile. One is a summer dress so in no rush and the other a work skirt that won't be needed while I'm away for the weekend.
Leaving from work at 3.30 so will again add my own wee list of things to do before I go as won't have time for flying properly.- finish packing (just toiletries etc that were still being used this morning to add to the bag)
- empty the bins
- put DW on
- make sure BF hasn't left a mess (hate coming back to an untidy house)
- move WM and lift lino to let floor dry out (had a wee leak)
- don't forget to take the prosecco!
Hope you're all warm and dry

Morning all
Gloomy here this morning, due walking with my friend at 8:30 so hopefully the rain will hold off. Bitty day with DS3 having MMR and a hair cut and I need to do one of my paid gardening jobs later. Hope to get bits of flying done inbetween, concentrating on getting the kitchen finished first.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
Morning!
A chill in the air today, even the kiddies didn't dawdle on the way to school club.
Trying to connect to paid stuff, and having some brekkie. I have lots of oaundry to sort today and put away. So I'll take regular breaks I think and spend 5min each time rehoming tat.
I also want to pop out for my prescription and the kids need new toothbrushes.
Have a productive day, all!

I have OH doing a food shop and I caught up on bills and ordered a couple of Christmas bits for DD2, DS2 and DD3.. They should be pretty much done and dusted once I have ordered them replacement phones (FREE!!) at the end of next month.. I need to sort DS3 and a few more bits for DS2, then Moomin and Tiddles.. Everyone else is done I hope!!
I can then start on the extended family.. my stepdad (got him a hat and sweets so far.. I usually make him up a hamper of random things) I need 3 photo frames for my sister and I need something for my nephypoo. Books for Fabian and Jacob and I may actually be organised enough to wrap.
Off to dangle out the washing, fold 4 loads of dry and get 2 more loads in.. towels mainly.. DS2 can bring them down!
