    Just about to head to bed. Done a few bits today and hubby even noticed I had cleaned the bathroom cabinet. It wasn't that bad so I am surprised he noticed! Kitchen is all clean and sparkly and made sure I washed up before bedtime is I dint have to do it isn't he morning. Also wrote the next part of a training plan for one of my athletes and an hour of the paid stuff. It would have been a 10 minute finishing off job but I made a mistake with some some data so I had to correct it all and then went through and double checked it all again to make sure it was definately right!

    Anyway here is my updated list

    Advertise some things for selling

    Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Remove any cobwebs from the ceiling/ontop of units cant find the feather duster!

    Tuesday - Bathroom and Study/Pc Area
    Hoover and wash the floors
    Do some filing or shreeding
    Half term next week (at least in the south) do you need to make appointments/plans?
    Will do these tomorrow. I'm sure I said that yesterday! Lol!

    Evening all.

    :bdaycake:
    Many happy returns of the day, Natty - sorry to hear about your ankle problems.

    Hope your mum is beginning to feel better, Dusty, and that you have had time to do something for yourself today.
    (((Hugs))) to juliejim and Jazee.
    Good reading, miss moo!

    Today I have
    - done dailies
    - sent about 10 emails
    - tried to make 3 phonecalls but given up on all of them (holding on for too long)
    - had my eyebrows brought under control and my hair trimmed
    - picked up my 2nd pair of new glasses and had both pairs adjusted to fit better
    - collected prescription medications for both of us from the chemist
    - sent DH to pick up our holiday paperwork
    - checked car parking prices at the airport
    - driven a total of about 50 miles with DH to pick up part of a present for DS2
    - had a cappuccino and shared a scone with DH in a lovely old-fashioned caf! with a very efficient log burner - all most welcome on a chilly grey day
    - bought a pair of skinny (!!!) jeans and 2 jumpers (one from a charity shop)
    - cooked lunch and evening meal (remind me never again to buy prawns with the shells still on, even the big ones - far too fiddly!)
    - been to a very well prepared meeting and come away feeling that at last something good is going to happen
    - subsequently had a conversation with DH which has given each of us a way forward out of the slough of despond into which we've both been sinking recently.
    - added about 6 more things to my list for tomorrow.

    It looks a lot, but I don't feel that I've done a lot really. Hopefully the outcome of the meeting and the conversation with DH will be for me to regain some of my lost GUAG. I desperately need to find it again.

    Good night all x

    Goodness me there are some of you up early today. For me, I can't be bothered with the shredding so am going to do some of Tuesday's bathroom list before gym, bath, dog walk and paid stuff.

    Have a great day everyone.

    Actually put my glasses on to clean downstairs loo just now, it was minging, sink everything. Looks ok when I don't wear them.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning all

    Newwashing machine is doing it's first of many loads.

    I've cleaned the sink and hob.

    Shower and yoga next.

    Hoping for an improvement when I visit Mum today. Consultant has given her a big telling off that all of this is psycholgoical and that she is choosing not to eat. Feeling mildly cross about it all myself!
