    Morning

    Yesterday was the first day since 22nd December when we didn't have any one staying. Also OH went back to work. I have decided to use this week to gradually get us back into routines and start some new ones.
    Yesterday was a NSD and we used up bits and pieces that had been lurking in the freezer for months. I renewed our library loans that were due. Next batch of loans due back on Monday, hopefully we will of finished some by then so they can be returned.

    Today's plans:
    NSD
    RMS
    FPL
    Ashleigh
    B/L/D from stores
    Set DW and WM to run over night
    HWB's for children's beds tonight
    Free entertainment for me and children
    Educate children for free
    Turn off lights and appliances not in use
    PAD

    Tidy house = tidy mind
    Schedule January's lessons
    Maintain the area's of the house that are under control- living room, landing, stairs
    Spend 15 minutes working with dd on her room
    Sweep downstairs
    Keep 4 email accounts up to date
    Delete 50 emails from an email account that is not yet sorted

    Very cold here today, think I'll be lighting the stove soon, remembering to put the kettle on top for free hot water.

    Like the "under control" comment! I need a few of those!

  • Evening everyone :D :hello:
    Well, day 2 at work and I've been rushed off my feet. It really hasn't taken long to feel as though I've never been away. Don't think I'll get any knitting or crochet done tonight because I just really want a good night's sleep because I already have loads of work that I need to do so I need to be reasonably fresh for tomorrow...
    Anyway, being busy means another nsd, plus I've checked my banking and done PAD to savings...
    Remembered my packed lunch for work :j
    Did all of my daily housework jobs
    Read Martin's email
    Full day of teaching plus after school meeting
    That doesn't look like much at all but I swear I've never stopped.
    Katy ann - hope your little fella is on the mend soon. It's hard when you can't help them...

    Gosh Ziggy, sending healing thoughts your way too xxx

    Got a few small things done today

    * sw@gbucks done although annoyingly I can't get to daily goal as I've been disqualified from every single survey I've tried today and I'm not signing up to some gambling website just for points ^o)
    * met friend at a nature reserve - we did actually go to the cafe :o but I only spent £5.30 for tea, cake AND lunch so not too bad :o
    * free kettlebells exercises
    * had veggie sausage, mash and green beans for tea - freed up some space in the freezer for yesterday's leftover pizza dough, and we now have a pan of leftover mash which I'll top a cottage pie with tomorrow night :j
    * picked up a couple of DIY-related bits we need for cheap - will get on the case tomorrow.

    Not done banks today but I'll do that first thing tomorrow I think.

    Hope you all sleep well xx
