Get an early night0 -
Morning all. Have woken with a headache due to DH putting the heating back on overnight. I just can't sleep when its too hot and this is the result.
Not good as I have to start the paid stuff now and have presentations to do today for people all round the world. So Singapore first.
No flying today then, but I'll try my best tomorrow.
Have a great day everyone.Spend less now, work less later.0 -
Jazee I cant sleep with the heating on either, no matter how cold it is.
Pulled pork in the sc for tea. Done the airer shuffle - one load of washing off and another load on.
Not enjoying work at the minute. I cant seem to do anything right for my boss, dont know whats up with him. I am wondering if something is going on in his private life because he has been in a funny mood for the last couple of weeks. Either that or I have done something to upset him. Who knows!
Right, better shift myself. Have a good Tuesday everyone x0 -
Morning all
Heating off here well before bedtime. DS3 and Dh away to school/work.
Going to do an hour's flying then paid stuff for me. Have a good day all.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
Morning all
Hope everyone is as well as can be.
Busy day today, got hair appt, work, mils hospital appt and a trip to the cinema (free tix) to squeeze in.
Doubt much flying will get done but I will try, was surprised how much Dh thought I'd done yesterday, he'd thrown a load of washing over one of the settees to air when he brought it in, all I'd really done was fold that, sweep through and clear some mending/ sewing off the table which meant some stuff could then go back in the cupboard. Quick shake of the cushions and straighten the throws before he came in and he was all wow can't believe how busy you've been today. So he washed up after tea and I got extra time to stitch, watched remember me last night, it was ok but so sad at the end.
Have a good day all will try and catch up later.SPC~12 ot 124
In a world that has decided that it's going to lose its mind, be more kind my friend, try to Be More Kind0 -
Heating off here before bedtime too..
Morning all. Today is conveniently split into chunks - this morning is ironing, whilst watching Arne Dahl on the iplayer.
Then an early lunch with DD2 before I head off to my book group for the first time since June - I've read most of the book too, which is a bonus..:jFlylady and proud of it:j0 -
Kitchen done work top appliances shuffled around. I would like to put everything in the cupboards so that nothing is out but I don't have the room. It would be so much easier to clean.
2 sofa throws washed
Tumble dryer is one of those with problems so I have registered it to have the repair done.
Upstairs and stairs stick cleaned
Ground floor henried then stick cleaned
Toasts decrumbed0
