night all

evening all
michelle - glad you survived
pigpen - glad DS is ok
well my day got a bit mad and i didn't even get home for tea (bought extortionate M&S pasta salad) and had a meeting tonight then chatted on the phone for over an hour so no flying done.
but got most of my work stuff done and have packed bags for tomorrow (away til thurs aft). friday is a quiet day so i will probably try and whip through the whole house then.
my ebay stuff hasn't made much but never mind, better than nothing. i'm planning on getting up early (for me) to post it. i need to leave by about 9.45 in the morning. driving to honiton in devon which is only 70 miles but on small roads!
sleep well all if you're not already. just need to hang the wet washing up before bed and a chapter of HP.Mum to gorgeous baby boy born Sept 2010:j0 -
morning all
Well I did do some more ironing and the rest of the washing and drying. Now there are 45 items left to iron (been doing a tally chart as I went along so I didn't have to count !!!) have added a few more things as the washing got done.
Right off to get A & W ready for school, hope the others starting back today have a good one.
See you all laterOfficial Mascot and Chief Cheerleader for the 'Mortgage Free in Three' Gang0 -
Morning all :hello:
Well I've learnt a lesson - don't put off the dailiesYesterday I couldn't be bothered to make up DD's packed lunch before going to bed, so I had to make it this morning, mid process OH shouts down "can you make me a quick lunch please? I'm running late!" :mad: So stopped DD's, made his (only sandwiches
) and then looked at the clock, he wasn't late :mad::mad: Tonight I will make them while I'm making tea!
The weather is horrible today - wet & chilly BUT it's not going to stop me going for a walk.I wore a pedometer yesterday and did 22290ish steps
I'm going to do that again today, walk this morning and depending on whether the rain stops or not I'll either just "go around the block" or stop and watch the trains again
No I'm not a trainspotter, it's just very relaxing watching all those people rushing around on the platforms while I stand there and watch :rotfl::rotfl: Once I get home I'll do a wash load as it will have to go on a maiden today, prep tea (no idea what we're having yet), make my lunch, maybe hoover the bedrooms and then I'll go back out for another walk, via the doctors (repeat perscription only this time!) and stay out until it's time to pick DD up from school
I'm wondering if I can top 22000 steps :think: Oh and no answering the phone or texts again!
So my list for the day :- Beds
- Bathroom S&S
- Dishes (didn't do the tea ones
something else which I will be doing tonight instead of putting off!)
- Kitchen S&S
- Wash load?
- Packed lunches x 2
- Evening meal
- Dishes again after tea
- Doctors
- Hoover & dust bedrooms.

I'M FREE-I'm free,
And freedom tastes of reality,
I'm free-I'm free,
AN' I'm waiting for you to follow me.
If I told you what it takes
to reach the highest high,
You'd laugh and say 'nothing's that simple'
But you've been told many times before
Messiahs pointed to the door
And no one had the guts to leave the temple!
I'm free-I'm free
And freedom tastes of reality
I'm free-I'm free
And I'm waiting for you to follow me.
How can we follow?
How can we follow?

I have survived.. HEY-HEEEEEEYYYYY!!!! (Gloria Gaynor style of course!!)
