    Morning all

    Just popping in quickly to sort out todays list for me. I'm scrapping the flying today except laundry which will have to go in the TD. To be honest though I'm so cold this morning the extra heat will be welcome! I'll risk the non-TD on the line, and I'll put the bedding & towels out for a bit as well, but not until after lunch as we're supposed to be having heavy rain this morning.

    Right, my edited list for today (I'll go back to a full list tomorrow)

    Personal:
    Laundry: dog, clean cycle, towels, dark, light
    Shower!!

    Work:
    mas customer
    Clear work books
    Text J re glasses
    Sort cupboard out
    Returns
    Clear work books

    If I achieve anything else today it will be a bonus. Just going to go sling some oxtail in the SC for tea. First time I've done this so I'm hoping DD will eat it! :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Hi ladies, I'm back! I've been AWOL for some time and the house has really suffered. I broke my ipad in April so don't have access to anything other than my phone so haven't looked on the site for ever. When I came back, it was all blue and very strange. It also took me about 4 attempts to log in!

    I might not post much, the house is in such a state that I have a long way back to get it sorted so I'm going to start with last weeks list. My shifts are so erratic that I just can't keep up- it's exhausting working 12.5 hour days. I start another job shortly and will be working 4 days a week with no unsocial hours. I have never done that before and think it's going to take some getting used to!

    Pigpen, congratulations on your new bundle of tiny pinkness. Lovely name too (I confess I had to stalk to see what I'd missed after the first post on the thread- arf!).
    Right, quick coffee while I get the list printed off.

    Just checking back in after a quick glug.

    I thought I would share a tip which may or may not be useful....

    I use Cozi a family calendar app. It has a to do list which you can tick off as you go.

    I have copied and pasted my list of jobs to do into this list. It is a bit faffy as I have to do it 1 line at a time but it's only taken this long because I had so many jobs to enter onto it and because I kept going off to do things whilst I was doing it!

    Todays fail. The dogs ate my new tumble dryer filter. AFTER I had hoovered the chuffing thing out. :(

    I haven't been on here for aaaaaagggggeeees - and the house is really showing it :o

    Pigpen - I've just seen that you've had another baby. Congratulations. I admire your stamina at bringing up so many! She's got the same birthday as me :D

    Right, I need to go back to the beginning and catch up with what I should have done so far this week. Or I could put it off and start on Monday. I do seem to spend far too much of my time SOAADFA . . .

    Well done to kaz's OH!!!! Glad you are having a productive day.

    Just got in from work and the school run. Little miss was amazing. She just sat in her car seat or on her mat the whole time. Everyone commented on how chilled out she was. Feeding her now and then I have told the boys we are having a half hour tidy up as house is a pit!!!!!! Got a cracking headache though! Catch u all later x
