So far:
- 1 report finished and emailed
- some paperwork filed
- every time I go into another room (for a coffee, the bathroom etc) I put at least 1 item away. Hopefully if I am restless enough, the whole house should look better by the end of the day.

Bottle bank visited, mils cleaning done, boiler service number given to her with instructions, and bird feeding station assembled and filled up.
Back in time for a quick cuppa and get ready for work, it's raining here no so won't need to worry about watering the garden.SPC~12 ot 124

Bin brought round, dog fed (he's not eating much so I'm opting for little and often so it's not sitting there going off), Mr A shop done, just going to get stuck into work for an hour or so until my shopping arrives. Then when that's away I'll get stuck in again. I can't see the books going out today, not considering the mood my laptop is in.

I'll get my coat.
My *insert several colourful expletives* frozen shoulder is giving me pure hell today, so Mr LW has been [STRIKE]bullied into[/STRIKE] asked nicely to clean the bathroom - whole lot, bath, bathlift, loo and wash basin - as it didn't get done over the weekend with the workmen here.
I've managed to trundle the Dys0n round - Dotty of course thinks it's yet another toy. :rotfl:
Walkies time now - raining, so I'm guessing Mr LW will wimp out of coming with us.If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -
Orders finished (thats what I needed sticky notes for this morning), shopping mostly put away (just a few stray items to take upstairs), work texts dealt with (5 requests to deliver another time. That's 5 less to be delivered tonight in the rain :j), and email sent to someone regarding work.
Tomorrow morning I need to run to town for some work bits and go to the bank. However I'm taking tomorrow afternoon off from work to catch up with friends who I haven't seen in 20 years (confirmed with them just now), so I'll be doing newsletters & books on Thursday instead.We all have kids, we all work (although I'm the most flexible being the only one self employed, but I'm the only single parent) and have other things to juggle as well so finding time when we're all free is problematic. I'll just put a full days work in on Thursday instead, and some hours over the weekend probably since DD is away.
Right now though I need to get organised to go out to work tonight. We need to eat & find water proof things as its going to be raining all night that horrible light rain which doesn't get you wet, but then suddenly you're drenchedOff to kick DD into gear. :wave:

Hi all
Another day spent on the road, first taking DS2 to school, then to job number 1, then to job number 2, then home, then DS1 to friends, then DS2 to collect from cricket (plus half hour wait in the car when I think I nodded off - hope I wasnt asleep with my mouth open and other parents saw me!!!).
So a little flying done first thing and I am on top of the basics at least. Might just run round with with carpet sweeper before I get into my jim jams.0 -
Evening!
Paid stuff again here, so just keeping on top of dailies. Took a parcel in for NNDN so when he collected it I asked if he had any room in his bin - he said yes and there is in their other neighbours too - he's put it out cos they are away. So I've managed a mini-flingathon and got rid of some carp from the garage.
Was emailed my 3D kitchen designs today - look lush, lots of £££s although the quote included all appliances, lighting, fitting etc. Only extras would be flooring and painting.
That's all from me, DD has been waking early lately so I'm pretty tired, and I've got my college interview tomorrow. So I'm off to bed!Bossymoo
