A productive day and feel that the house is looking so much better. Ended up doing 4 piles of washing and I still can't see the bathroom floor. Another three tomorrow I think!

Didn't get to touch the bathrooms but that will be tomorrow's job! Most of the decs are in the loft. I left a few bits down as I need to sort them out.
OH said dinner was delicious! :T easiest meal ever. 24 Meatballs, pasta sauce, tin of chopped toms and a tin of baked beans all shoved in the slow cooker! Not done it before but have frozen half for another day!

Darn it! Forgot to copy my list!! Hang on a minute....

I hope I can keep up this momentum as there are 12 filing cabinets to do at work and another 1 at home. Then airing cupboard, my wardrobe., etc etc and I really want to do the books to amazon thing.

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
...and that doesn't include the books!

(((Hugs))) Jo - hope everything gets sorted quickly.

GWS vibes to pigpen and OH.

Bossy, please give yourself a pat on the back from me for the wonderful way you are helping both the little Moos to develop into the sort of children that I always enjoyed having in my class when I was a teacher (many many moons ago) :T

I have umpteen unused "favourites" links and about 600 emails in half an hour this afternoon. My computer has heaved a sigh of relief
This evening I have been to choir and really enjoyed it - Bach, so very challenging but extremely satisfying when we get it right

Tomorrow is another day; let's hope it's a better one.

Pigpen - I'm :mad: for you!

Mumto5 - huge hugs to you xx

Jo - Hope it turns out to just be a formality! Hugs to you too.

Well I've had a productive "office" day Managed to catch up with all my work, and then spent some time working on my household note book. Mainly I updated information sheets that were last done in 2005! DD knows if anything was to happen and she needed to know how to turn the water off, how to reset the breakers on the fuse box, how to turn the gas off, or anything medical (like my allergies, national insurance number which they use in the hospitals etc) then its all contained in this one folder on its own sheet Having ended up in A&E myself twice in recent years, I figured it was time to update them so DD knew, and I could take ex off as my next of kin, changing it back to my mum! Ex and I only split in 2007, and he moved out in 2008 :whistle: I have left him on DDs medical sheet though

I also took the opportunity to move files around, print out random stuff including recipes, print some more "excuse DD from PE because" letters (I have the basic letter typed out and then it goes "...from PE for..............because ................................... " and I fill the dotted lines in as appropriate, add the date and my signature, and the letter is 80% legible despite being written in a minute or less usually lol) and move videos from my external hard drive back onto my laptop. I'm very pleased with my progress today, and may attempt some more tomorrow

While I was at it I also managed to clear the washing piles, all 6 loads! Tomorrow I'll iron

If its gone its done!
So my list is looking like this:
Fri: Books to school/D
Sat: No Ex
Sun: Ex here, money to DD.

Misc:
Toots list
Walk 7miles minimum for week (Set myself a target of walking 365 miles this year ) 1.2miles for work as DD was helping & it was done in one trip instead of 3 or 4!

Monday ~ Kitchen

Thursday ~ Bathroom and study/pc area

Friday ~ Childrens DD's responsibility if she wants pocketmoney
15 minutes...
The most important task first.. make time for yourself.. a haircut, manicure, or just a relaxing bath in peace! - Holby with a coffee and maybe a slice of cake
Strip, wash and replace bedding - Sunday job
30 minutes to spare...
Tidy a chest of drawers
Vacuum, even if it means kicking all the mess into a corner heap!
Got an hour...

I've been awake for an hour despite being so tired last night that my eyes kept shutting whilst I was trying to read . TD is on but haven't put WM on as I don't want to wake anyone. Laundry baskets (clean and dirty) are both overflowing. Will sort out the ironing and folding in a moment. Perhaps put the lamp on and start sorting out some socks. It popped into my mind that I have no knickers or bras or socks for today so I really do need to get on and fold some up .
Have decided to keep on with ironing. It just makes life easier if I iron items and hang them straight away, I can then go and put them straight into the wardrobe. At least they aren't then just dumped in bedrooms.

DD's cadet trousers are twirling at present so I will have to youtube that later to remind myself how to iron them. Can you tell they don't often come for washing? She's over the moon, she is going sailing with cadets on Sunday. Every Summer she starts banging on about wanting a wetsuit. This year, I have found an amazing website and they had wetsuits (shorty styles) for £47.99. So I got hold of my sister and cousin and Aunty and asked them all to chip in to a wetsuit for her for Christmas rather than something else. She was so happy she screamed when she opened it!

Right, finish my coffee, get some folding done and then perhaps move on to some more silent jobs. Dusting maybe?

Morning everyone.

Managing to keep with the lists quite well this week. I'm at my voluntary job today but will do a bit of pottering at the weekend. I won't be going anywhere looking at the weather forecast.

Will start dailies before I go out and do 10 minutes on the wii

I'm doing another challenge this year. I've stopped eating chocolate for a year and putting a pound each day I don't have any in a big. It will go to charity. It's been nearly a week up to now.

bossy It was no bother. Thank you.
Jo Hugs.

There was someone else I wanted to mention but brain has gone.

Hugs,spoons, sticks and healing vibes where needed.

Morning All

Well I managed to do all my paperwork last night then had a bath (read a book while I was in there) and then at 9.10 asked DD what time it was and thought I'd better get out seeing as I'd got to pick DS up from Scouts at 9.30!

Not finishing work until 2.30 today and then I pick the kids up and take them to my M&D's so I probably won't be home until 3.30 then I'll be going to my M&D's for tea so won't have time to do a lot tonight.

However the TD is on, I'm just going to load the WM and then do the dinners so I'll be making a start.

Have a good day all

Hugs

Jue

Jazee

Morning all. I've not had time to catch up with the thread so hugs, spoons etc where needed.

I was a bit too optimistic about what could be achieved in the bedroom yesterday morning, so only changed the bedding and hoovered behind the bed. So this morning, I will find something to declutter and do HHI before dog walking and paid stuff.

Have a great day everyone.
