    Evening all

    I have been through a very large pile of paperwork and sorted. Now into need to do/file/shred/recycle/want to read. Hope to finish it the morrow.

    I want to do some cooking the morrow, as I have peppers and aubergine that need sorting and will defrost last large bag of mince to make some chilli in the SC. I'm also making a quiche for dinner, with HM coleslaw, salad and refried pots for DH. I'll do the kitchen after the cooking methinks ;)

    Morning all. Welcome to returners and newbies.

    I've been working on the paid stuff since getting up at 4.30 this morning but have now done my early calls with the other side of the world, so am going to break away for an hour and a half to do the kitchen list.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning all.

    Woke up this morning raring to go which is not like me. I think it's because I know I have until nearly 7pm tonight without DD here so I can in theory be really productive. ;)

    First wash load is done and in the TD, second in WM. I went to make back to back appointments for me and DD for check-ups at the dentist but the gap between appointments is a bit bigger than I remember so I'm going to ring up and make them instead. Maybe they've finally realised that examinations can take longer than 10 minutes! Weird moment there when I told DD that I was calling to make them as the appointments were now 40 minutes apart and she came out with that last sentence word for word :rotfl:

    Going to go and do some dailies upstairs, no doubt rescue the bathroom as DD had a shower this morning (I've already hung her towels on her radiator rack ;)), grab the next wash load and the spend until 9.30 sorting out my organisers while my laptop sorts itself out ready to get some paid stuff done until lunch time and I catch up with my programmes.

    HHC for me starting now! :wave:

    Morning all, and welcome to even more newbies and returning Flyladies - nice to have you with us :wave:

    I completed everything on my list yesterday except one phonecall, and also managed to write up the Minutes of the Trustee Meeting within 12 hours of it finishing :)

    Woke up with a nasty headache after a rough night with two nightmarish dreams (unusual for me), so not firing on all cylinders atm.

    My list for today:
    [STRIKE]- financial check
    - sort summer term dates for the Old Wives
    - email DD re delivery[/STRIKE]
    - 9.15 SW
    - catch up with sleep before lunch or not at all (otherwise I won't get to sleep tonight)
    - email J
    - email S and A re meal
    - phone SoG (postponed from yesterday)
    - write up notes from yesterday's meeting about work for P

    Catch up later: (((hugs))) spoons and sticks all round, as needed x

    Okay so it turned into an hour. :rotfl: However all the dailies are now done including all the windows upstairs opened wide while I was up there to air the place, windows dried off, cleared all the washing up, bins emptied while its not raining, washing juggled and now having a coffee. :D Wish I had this sort of motivation every day.

    Time for sorting out my organisers and then on with paid stuff accounts until I can't look at them any more :wave:
