    It's been a busy time for me this evening. Rather than sitting around or faffing around ive done some yoga (3rd night running, tidied the bedroom, put away some washing, washed and pegged out another load, put on a final load, polished the bedroom then vacuumed the bedroom and stairs. Do you know what, i feel great for achieving something.:j.

    I'm just having five minutes in the garden before I find another little job to do. Actually I may just empty the wheelbarrow into the green bin. It's been waiting days.

    I do t think I've sustained such a positive mood for a while and do feel like things, with some extra effort, may finally be coming together. I have much to be grateful for and need to start looking after and loving it.

    If only putting away washing wasn't so ruddy boring.

    I would like to sort another pile of stuff for the charity shop tomorrow and keep that momentum going too.

    Brave thing for today. I took time for myself and that's something i struggle to do. I've also changed my routing this week which has also given me a strange boost.

    Right beer and green bin is calling.

    I hope you all have a fabulous weekend xxx

    Thank you hairy hand and cherry. I wish I was paid per item.

    Well after yesterday's productive evening, today I have......drum roll please......

    Put out a load of washing AND taken a zip out of a skirt, and it's now quarter to four. Mmmmmmm, a lazy day.

    I love the sun but it's very distracting.

    Must try harder.:rotfl:

    Ah, but you are storing up lots of Vitamin D to build your immunity! Very productive of you. :)

    Also proper rest is good for you ;)

    I was giggling after beer but I'm such a lightweight.;)

    Once again washing is piling up on the stairs. It's an on going thing. My washing basket is round but still won't balance on the wide stair. Then an epiphany. A rectangular washing basket which will balance and dry washing will go into. What a genius ;):rotfl:. Also I've found a folding one.

    Good grief. I can't believe I'm excited about a washing basket. Urgh, I'm appalled.:eek: I must rebel....I must rebel....;)

    More sewing work coming in. I'm seriously thinking about dropping a day to fit it in. It's better use of my time and my income would be larger.

    What's a girl to do.

    As someone who has explored the 4 day scenario for the last 100 years and bored everyone in the process. I think you should go for it. :)
