    WMx1

    I have pilates this morning and also need to:
    check bank accounts

    If dry do some gardening next door but I think rain is forecast.

    Morning!

    My list for today, other than general daily bits:
    Fridge. Pull all tat off outside and get rid of what's expired / not needed and find proper home for the rest. Then empty it, wipe out and only put back what I'm keeping.
    Dining room cabinet: give it the MK treatment. I don't even know what's in the bottom of it... And I can't see the top of it!
    My bedroom: need to make my bed, with my new mattress topper, and tidy my clothes. I MKd them but my underwear drawer is a bit messy and stuff has migrated from drawers to wardrobe. I can't see what I have again...
    Work: have one paper to submit so need to check in with our head of department.
    Xmas: want to look at my calendar to see when we want to go on the santa train... And book it.
    Bossymoo

    Away with the fairies :beer:

    Morning all.

    Still not caught up with the thread properly so hugs, sticks, spoons & appropriate vibes to all. :D

    We had our new boiler fitted yesterday. Its wonderfully quiet and they cleaned everything up properly. Zack (our dog) was okay with one of them but not the other but overall so much calmer than he usually is with someone other than us in the house. The meds obviously work and since they're over the counter ones I can get them without having to take him to the vets :D

    DD is definitely going away tonight, at 5pm. She gets home about 4-4.30pm on a Friday due to an after school club and she's not packed :mad: She's put most of her stuff out on her bed and asked me to gather her electonics and toiletries together for her. I'll also check what she's packing, I know in the past she's forgotten her pyjamas :rotfl:

    Todays plan is to finish most of the lists (I'm leaving the extras until tomorrow), sort the meat that's in the fridge out, check DD's packing, have a bath and get sorted as I'm going out this evening since DD is away :D I need to leave about 5.30pm so need to have my bath etc before DD gets home. My first task is to get the ironing done, and more washing on as we've stripped the beds today.

    Personal:
    Work:
    - Sort returns
    - Update finances
    - Prep newsletter (add info re delivery day could be different due to other commitments)
    - Sort gifts & wrap

    House:
    - Wash dog stuff (towels etc from bathing him)
    - WM on clean cycle
    - Dishes
    - Laundry (dark, light, towels, fleece)
    - Deal with meat from butchers
    - Back up/transfer my stuff from DD's laptop to mine so I can file it properly over the weekend (DD is taking her laptop with her)
    - Back up/update my phone

    Waving to Mrs-mp as I pass through on my way back to my old home town:wave:
    I shall be out all day so once again flying is in the capable hands of DH ;)

    This morning I got up immediately my alarm went off, showered, dressed, then glanced at DH's clock enrich said 06:03 - but mine was saying 06:45 !!! Mine was wrong :eek: and the alarm must have gone off at 05:20 instead of 06:20 :( just hoping I can concentrate properly during my meeting later.

    Hope everyone has a good day, especially if you are supporting Children In Need.
    I am throwing sticks to your BD from the moving train, LW, hoping to wear him out.
    (((Hugs))) spoons and sticks, GWS vibes and workman visiting vibes to each as appropriate x
