Haven't managed very much today. Have made the filling for tonights pie. I've tidied out my bedside drawers, found a few more things to put on turbolister.
I'll probably get on with that tonight. I've got a friend coming over for dinner, hopefully she'll be too tired to stay too late. I'll crack on with ebay things once she has gone.
Not much else done today, oh , I've got our sheets in the TD, so I've done our bed...but thats it.
Some days it feels like you get nowhere..
Just having a coffee now, then need to make pastry, get DD3 to go back to bed for an hour or so, while she is doing that, I may remake our bed and do another drawer or two in our room.
I'm starting to get to the point where, most of the clutter is DH's. Not sure if I can really start throwing out/ selling his stuff!!

It's brightening up here and I've put some of the washing on the line, feels much warmer out too.

Cut front grass - did the back on Sunday but didn't have time for the front. Feel a bit sleepy now, it's that mid afternoon slump.

FrankieM

I keep coming on here to tell you everything I haven't done today!!
Still have to do pastry, though I have found a few more things to turbolist. Just have to make sure I get that done.
Then I think I'll just concentrate on dailies for the rest of the evening, rather than stress myself out.
I'm quite in the mood for a glass or two of wine this evening, but Ill not get anything done if I do.....oh well....
