    Morning Missus A - and that's tosh about your achievements, 'cos I happen to know (from stalking your diary) that you did LOADS yesterday. Any chance you could send some yummy cooking this way? Pleeeeaaasssseeeee?

    *snort* don't mistake activity for energy - the horses take me roughly three times as longer to muck out than when their owner does it. It's a constant source of amusement around the yard that I'm sooooo slow - mostly I day dream through it. ;) But I get it done, and that's the thing.


    So, I've finished clearing the didn't-make-the-cut glass art, so the glass is ready for a proper clean before going back into stock. It's only been soaking for weeks... :o


    And I've finally stripped the paint off the door of an old bureau I started refurbishing about a year ago. Paint coming off two more of the 5 doors in 1min 54 secs (guess who's got it all on a timer).


    It's amazing what you can get done when you're avoiding ironing clothes for ebay! :D


    Oooo, 36 seconds left - time to don the dodgy protective gear again.


    Laters peeps!

    *dashes back in* three doors done (only on one side for each as easier on me to do a little at a time). That's all for the paint stripper fun today as it takes ages to clean up afterwards and I have other stuff I want to do.


    So, now that's all cleared up, I've got lunch on the hob - just pasta and sauce as am out tonight meeting up with an old work associate. We've found a local pub that's dog-friendly, so she's bringing her rescue dog and I'm probably going to spend most of the evening on the floor fussing the mutt.


    Then, stuff - an afternoon of sheer stuff. Want to know what stuff? Ha! You'll have to wait until later this evening to find out!

    You post as much or as little as you like, Sweetie - it's all good. Do you use the 'User CP' at the top left of your screen? It helps highlight your subscribed threads when there's a new post on there.

    Hey Nora looks like you've had a great day for productivity.

    I'm just home from work via Sainsbugs, but some how I'm sat on the sofa while my shopping is sat on the kitchen floor. Best get moving and put it away so I can cook dinner in an hour or so.

    Hope your pub evening is lovely and give the dog a snuggle from me.

    Hope you had a lovely evening

    and lots of dog cuddles

    I have done 10 bits of ironing for EBAY - pompom waving please :)

    I have made my list for today and want to work on the list and do what I can without beating myself up for things I havent done
    they can just go on the list for tomorrow
    that is your influence you do what you can - I must learn to do this and forgive myself for the bad days

    looking forward to your news of the night out

    Morning Lovelies


    First up *cartwheels and pompoms for Missus A* Get you, being all achievement!!


    My evening was lovely (apols for not reporting back last night but I was that tired that my bed called louder than anything else).


    The pub was very dog friendly, and the dog herself was wonderfully behaved - her first pub trip, and she got that many treats and fusses from all of the staff and customers that her mum and I strongly suspect she might run away to the pub instead of the circus! :D


    Added to my list for yesterday is chitting potatoes, sketching three little pics ready for painting and sorting out another four bags of charity stuff. *proud face*


    Today has started with a nice catch up with my friend at the stables, and a quick puppy and pony snuggle. I've caught up with diaries, and just about to sort out brekkie before getting ready for work. Today is action packed with work and visits and stuff, so I'll catch you all later.


    Have a good'un.


    Nora.xx
