    Don't feel like I've achieved much today. I did strip my bed, washed bedding, line dried and put it straight back on, lol. Skirting sorted, seats arrived and put together (v nice), DS show watched (also v nice) and tea with inlaws.

    Also washed out old fridge freezer and finished ironing. FIL cut the grass :A

    Tomorrow it's back to kitchen place then I really need to start painting again.

    Might have a bath tonight :)

    Evening all :hello:

    We're not long back from DD's summer concert, splitting headache now though due to the volume despite me sitting at the very back :(

    Today I've still not finished yesterdays work, but I did enough that I was able to do the time sensitive part if that makes sense? I've also done a top up shop, managed to buy a new belt & 2 pairs of jeans which I still need to try on. I also managed some tidying up while on the phone to a customer ;) Tomorrow I have to work all day. I'll do some laundry, and probably run the vacuum through downstairs as well as the dailies but that's it. Too much work stuff outstanding and due tomorrow (or the absolute latest Thursday) to be spending time cleaning and that's not including my tax return :o

    Any ways, its been a long, busy day and I need to sleep if I have any hopes of being productive tomorrow.

    Hugs, sticks, spoons, and vibes to all :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!

    I am sooooo tired, best say no more than that. All tucked up in bed and realised I haven't taken the chicken out that I had planned to cook tomorrow night. Wonder if I can persuade one of the teenagers to do it? Night all x

    ATB I'm here, thanks for missing me. Been busy with ds2 moving to the upper school and the fallout from it.

    I have also started a new diet so eating has taken some thought.

    I have kept up with basics as I also have ds1 here to worry about.

    Spent the day helping my parents wth their paperwork.
