Monday 11th January 2016 - What small DFW things will you do today???!

maria3104

Well, coming to the end of a hectic day. Just looked in tomorrows diary. MISTAKE. 6 am start, training, exam, on the job exam, assessment, finsih around 6, work meeting at 7 pm finish around midnight! ARGHHHHH.
Then 6 start Wednesday. Just great, I am hyperventilating as I read. Thinking to myself, small steps, small steps etc. One job at a time!

Sausage and mash or fish tonight depending whether DH has got fish out of freezer. A bit like a lucky dip!

Had another NSD, need to update signature.

Bank accounts still looking OK so far into jan but income looks as expected well below that required.

Happy Monday all.

Maria.

Oh wow - there are so many of us struggling at the moment with sleep/stress/illness etc. Hope everyone is on the up soon. I am aiming for a relaxing evening followed by an early night, fingers firmly crossed.

Annoyingly didn't get any books marked, but I did get loads of little bits done that were getting on my nerves at work. I have done all the 'jobs' for the evening, so now catching up on here and then crochet till I feel ready to sleep. I've decided to have an evening off from exercise because I am just exhausted, and my trainer says sometimes we just need a rest.

Hubster is the best !!!

For weeks when I have been driving round bends, roundabouts and going over bumps I have heard swishing water....it has driven me potty !! I took all bottles out, pulled the seats back and forward (no bottles hiding anywhere) and nothing !!!

I was rather annoyed when I was talking to hubby, and slammed the door (I know) and suddenly I heard gushing water !! Hurrah !!!!

It turns out that the channels were blocked !!

Total cost - one wispa from a multipack !!

Whoop whoop !!

Morning Candy :hello: to all that follow

Wow, Monday's here again. had a lovely weekend which makes going back to work harder. Anyway, list for today:

Check banking, PAD if possible
Check 1poll
Check £co
Sew up knitting tonight so I can start on next project
Soup to work for lunch
Meal from planner for tea
Washing I did on 30 overnight on airer
Continue 'January jobs' list

I'm sure there's more, I'll check back later, J

Not doing too bad on the 'to do' front... I have also:
Paid £14 to CC for a product a customer bought that I had in stock
Replied to email about hubbys fitb1t that broke to see if they can replace
Quick tidy round, some washing away, drying a bit on rads whilst heating is on anyway (trying not to have airer out all the time )
Hubby put new cheap cupboard up in bathroom, looks awesome. Can now fill it and put some stuff away to liberate a box that's been in DD room since May
Those 2 pesky returns finally got collected today :rotfl:

Hope we all get a better night sleep tonight.

See to hens - sadly they are not laying at the moment - actually, there WAS an egg this morning
Check banks Didn't get to this

Put away washing off airer Done
Housework Not done
HM meals Done
Go to sales unit and do anything needed Done, very slow at the moment
Need to do a small shop today, which will include donations for the food bank Done
Walk all journeys (our road is closed at the moment, and will be for about 6 weeks, and it is a real pain trying to do anything else ) Done
But on the other hand it will hopefully help me to shift the pounds I put on over Christmas
Phone friend as it is her birthday She rang me first, to thank me for her present
Any surveys that are available A couple for onepoll

That is all I can think of at the moment. Hope you all have a good day

Hmm didn't do as much as I had hoped today, as DD and little GD turned up. Still, it is always nice to see them, and tomorrow is another day
