Hi, I'm in again thanks Natty. Got S off school today as got a really nasty cough and made himself sick last night; still hacking away today so quiet day today. I've already been to the GP this morning and am going to put today to good use eating some frogs (think that's the right expression) - must do tax return stuff and send off!Flymarkeeteer: £168 and counting0

Hi everyone.
Paid stuff this AM, although I am going to use a chunk of the time to organise my work diary, schedule etc, plan in the next couple of weeks worth of work. I will also clean and tidy my desk, and the bathroom - on list today!
My phone is FOUND, happy days. Just spilt tea on the new duvet cover I put on last night, so will sling it back in the wash.
I am also starting to mull over my goals for 2015. I don't make resolutions, but I do set myself goals - maybe an amount to save up, a room to decorate, a weight to reach etc. Then I also set myself some mini-goals for each month, to help me reach the big goal. I always plan them and think about them in advance, and I find the more I plan them, the more likely I am to reach them!
Off to update and organise my work and home diaries with pretty coloured pens.0 -
Morning all, thanks for the threads x

Need to dry my hair, feed neighbour's rabbits and then seeing friend for a bit.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
Dusty -Condensation galore here too.
So cold this morning its taken a large cup of tea to get my hands moving again from the school run. Must get some gloves or get round to knitting a pair of mitts. Be cheaper to make mittens from excess wool.
pigpen + jttou - Thank you, will check out those bargains.
Am following the list today so thank you Natty. Also dailies and ringing the dentist. Getting DS1 from playschool. Must make some bread and try and get some x-mas shopping done. Starting to panic as I've got a total of 3 gifts. I'm collecting the Mr M money off vouchers for £25 off your x-mas shop. You need to collect 6 and I got week 3 on Friday so its starting to panic me that Christmas is about 4 weeks away :EKK:
Hope your all well, DS2 is sounding much better today and just has a lovely runny nose that he enjoys smearing on my shoulder. YUK!
Catch up later xx0 -

Im in. Have made great strides this weekend as we put the tree up next Sunday and I cant stand putting it up when everything is a mess! So the only horrendousness to deal with is the kitchen and dining room and hallway.
Busy busy week now as both kids have parties, dd2 is at the hosp for ultrasound this arvo and then dash to swimming lessons then pay for them for next term. eek.
Mount washmore will not subside.
Been docs this morning and lobbed a lamb, chickpea and spinach curry in the sc for tea.
Oh my giddy its 11 already. Cracking on!

My thoughts entirely
Thanks to Dusty for last week's lists and Natty for starting us off again this week.
Welcome back to Returnees :wave:
I had a lovely busy weekend - managed to clean the whole house on Saturday and then took myself off to babysit DGS3 while DH took himself to bed for 18 hours. Yesterday I took DS2, DDiL2 and DGS3 out to lunch, then came home to find the house still in good shape :T, cooked a roast dinner and fed friends. Got everything WUDUPA last night and this morning, have stripped our bed, put first WM load in, and cleaned bathroom after my shower (but DH is about to have his, so it will need a S&S again afterwards :cool:). Meanwhile, onto computer stuff and paperwork...
I've got so much sorting of boxes to be done in the study bedroom this week and next that I'm going to give the deep cleaning in here a miss and do it properly afterwards - I promise
Hope poorlies of all ages are beginning to feel better. Anti-chickenpox vibes to Erin and all your family, pigpen. Lots of sticks thrown for BDs. (((Hugs))) to all who need them x0
