Today I have received a most beautiful collection of baby houseplants from my secret Santa. I have sent a thank you text to what I hope is the correct number.

If I have got the number wrong I apologise, but I want to say the most enormous thank you. They are stunning and have truly made my day.

Evening all,

Back from my mums, house a shed, nothing done:( I may bit a bit slow on the uptake here, but I think today I have finally figured out that my ability to keep up with housework /do any housework at all is directly related to hormones. Also diet gone to pot today as declutted lots of stodgy food.
Anyway, CY what a lovely thing for someone to do.
Narco, jealous of towel rail a la kondo. Mine falling off wall, want new one but we are making a new bathroom downstairs, and our current bathroom will soon be gone, so I can't justify buying one. On the subject of Kondo, OH bought himself a load of new socks and pants and proudly opened his drawer to show me how he'd kondo folded them all neatly. Wow.

Sorry about posting this massive list but I need to spur myself on.

Morning all

Lovely surprise CY hope you have a brighter day.

We certainly are! Brighter, that is! The sun is shining here. Just put DS bedding in to wash (again). We are still ranging from bed wetting (even with underj@ms on) through to dry as a bone. He took a book to bed last night and I told him to go to the loo when he'd read it - I heard him go... But still wet bed:( ah well. Should dry in no time today :T

Today's plan:
Get showered and dressed.
Collect parcel from PO depot.
Take DD dancing (DS and I have a "make your own clock" kit to do while we wait)
Meet dad for lunch - not confirmed.
Some time in garden and tidying conservatory.
Check with friend about meeting tomorrow- not confirmed either.

Right. Coffee slurped, shower next!

Good morning all :wave: Hope the weather has improved for everyone today - obviously it's going to get better in the Kingdom of Fife because your schools re-open on Monday!- and you are all safe and dry.

GWS to your DH, JTTOU.
Your Secret Santa must have been posting early for Christmas, CY!
YL - I keep my sponge scourers in an old crock preserving pot (relic of my childhood) next to my sink, and drape my bright red microfibre dishcloth over the top of that like a modern art installation :rotfl:

I went to an excellent meeting yesterday and came away buzzing with ideas. I am now looking at mind mapping as a way of taking and making notes - love the use of colours and images, although I shall have to discipline myself to stick firmly to one word per branch

My list for today:
- WM x3 including bedding
- Finish 2 skirts for DGD2 (I bought some more pretty material yesterday, bright yellow with lines of tortoises)
- Experiment with mind mapping chapter 1 of the book I'm reading
- Update 2 resource boxes.
- Deadheading in the back garden

DH is playing on the railway all day - it's their Sixties Weekend (only about 4 weeks since the Forties Weekend - how time flies! :rotfl:) and he's particularly looking forward to the tribute bands.

Catch up later. (((Hugs))), spoons and sticks all round, as needed x
