Pleased you both made it Piggers and good luck with the appointment
Parcel not arrived from the amazing site so had to send an email. Received one back saying it's not due until 22nd but their original mail said 18th ???
Have dusted everywhere - high, low, under and behind today :j
Kitchen all clean and tidy. Did the WUDUPA tonight as well. All stuff put away including that for the freezer.
I found setting half an hour on a single task at a time worked well today. Was really strict and stopped when the buzzer sounded. If I hadn't finished I went back for another half hour later. Seemed to stop me getting bored as well. Think I'll try the same the morrow - it does, at least, curtail my browsing on here and the tinter for too long

Morning all.
As always happens here when it gets really cold is that the heating and hot water have a banana moment! Dh just fixed it. V annoying.
Have made lunchboxes for 3 this morning.
Work in a bit then home to tackle rest of kitchen and bedroom floors later.
I have job number 2 tonight followed by my knitting circle. Will possibly make a cake to take along.
Hope everyone has a good day x0 -
Morning
Pigpen I really felt for you when DS wouldnt get out of bed. Have been there, in fact we have physically dragged DS out of the house to appointments in the past which is not nice. We have finally got our autism assessment on 27th Feb and DS seems OK about it - so far. DS doesnt speak to anyone official and yeah you feel a bit stupid, especially now that he is bigger than me and has to have his Mum talking for him.
Didnt manage to get much done yesterday, took DS out because he is so bored at the moment. Paid stuff today then plenty to do at home, need to see parents, DS2 at work at 4.30pm, I am at gym class at 6pm. Wednesdays are always a bit manic!0 -
LW hope you're OK sweetie x
Pigpen glad you managed to get DS out of bed and assessment went OK.
Not going to get a lot done today - got appointment at eye hospital this afternoon and going a bit earlier as got some paid stuff to do first. Can't walk the dog, kids fighting and arguing - I've yelled at them; just another day in paradise!
Do want to sort out online savings account, get some cash and re-read notes for paid stuff. Will get a load in the WM. First though having my cuppa.Flymarkeeteer: £168 and counting0 -
Morning all. Just dailies here today and putting tonights tea in the slow cooker.
Rather selfishly I'm posting just to ask for flylady vibes for OldDog who is going to the vet today as she has another lump.
Hope everyone is ok and appts go/gone well.
Have a great day everyone.Spend less now, work less later.0 -
That's not selfish at all Jazee; hope the lump is nothing to worry about - give OldDog a hug from me, Whiz and Pip x
So so cold today isn't it; my legs are freezing cold. WM on and just about to sort out online savings and then clean our room as per the list.Flymarkeeteer: £168 and counting0
