Hi all
Welcome back wilf x
Not a lot done other than clean up after dinner. Childcare issue sorted (phew) and half a pound gained at SW. Been feeling pretty low today. Not sure if it's being back to work when everyone else seems to be off, or generally being carp at work, or just not feeling like a very good mum at the moment. So I'm not hitting the mark at home or work really. Spread too thin, I think.
But, tomorrow is another day, onwards and upwards.Bossymoo
Away with the fairies :beer:0 -
Had a lovely day out with kiddies. Got back at tea time e. Made them some dinner while I cleaned the fridge and then mopped the floor after. I ate later with OH as I wasn't hungry.
Ah hour of ironing also done whilst decluttering some tv!
Everything bar the frog done off my list. I will aim to do it tomorrow!

I'm in. Not sure what I've got this week as only got back from Norfolk/Suffolk weekend a couple of hours ago.
Lots of exercise needed.
2 reports to write.
Car service tomorrow so can take laptop and so some of the reports while waiting.
House no doubt needs to be blitzed.
Ditto garden.
nothing changed then!Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.0 -
Evening all.
I've not achieved much today as I've had paid stuff to do. I've managed to get that sorted, DD washed up, I cooked tea, and I've done 2 loads of washing. I swear the laundry is breeding, so tomorrow I'm banishing DD upstairs for the day while I do the ironing and finish the laundry, then I have work tomorrow evening. I think tea will have to be something in the slow cooker and then Wednesday I'll look at the lists properly and get some things crossed off. DD might be out that day, so I can just get on...or I might run errands as I need to collect an order from town of some waterproofs I've finally gotten around to ordering (been on my list since winter 2011/12) and now I need to pick up a football style PE top for DD.
Okay I'm rambling now. I'm off to finish up a couple of things then going to bed. Is the third week of seven week holidays too early to be saying "roll on DD going back to school"? They seemed much easier when she was younger and would just play all day, or want to go out to the park etc. I miss my routine, the lack of laundry, the lack of washing up and actually having food in the house that doesn't require cooking:rotfl:
:wave:Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0 -
evening all
NBM for fasting blood tests tomorrow so obviously starving hungry and dry as a bone and yes I did have some tea so it's all in my head
today I have
umm
done not a lot!!
Well I've had my nails done, been to circuits and had my eyebrows waxed and tinted so I'm feeling pampered but done not a lot around the house. Tomorrow is pretty busy too (blood test hair cut out in the evening) but I will try to do some tidying- really must clear the @£$% off my dining table at the very leastGo hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last0 -
