    Well today didnt quite go as planned, late leaving job no. 1, busy in the bank, the post office and Li@l so I was late home which meant I didnt get out cycling or to the gym.

    But I did agree to take DS1 out for some driving practice, he is doing really well. Tea made, DW emptied and reloaded, then on with job no. 2. Just got finished.

    Oh and I stripped our bed and chucked the bedding in the wash.

    So now just need to finish tidying the kitchen, bring in the washing, make up our bed and then I am done for the day.

    This is a bit random but I want to join a local ladies only cycling group, who ride on a Thursday evening but I dont know if I am confident enough to do it!!! Big-girl-I can-do-this sort of vibes needed I think.

    You can do it YL :j

    It's so warm here already :T DS is watching Paw Patrol, DD still in bed. I have an hours paid stuff this morning, then just me and DS at home until school run time.

    Will peg some washing out shortly, then do some financials. Seem to have spent much more than normal this month, not good for our mortgage free mission!

    Keep hydrated all and have fab days x

    Morning all. Yes you can do it YSL.

    I've just had breakfast and now plan to tackle some things from today's list before gym, shower, dog walk, then paid stuff.

    Right, looks like I'm cleaning the hoover out then.

    Have a great day everyone.

    1 a fellow R2 devotee?
    2 lovely to read that

    Morning all
    have done awash load
    Going to shower and try to find something to wear.
    Last might my knickers fell down, fortunately the trouser.s (also too big and heading south) spared my blushes. So two garments worn this week are joining the fling heap:T. The knickers go in the bin *clunk*

    The thread is getting REALLY quiet...

    I have made my lunch, pegged out washing, filled WM, ironed last load, found saftey pin to reduce waistband on skirt. Off to the paid stuff now.

    The classroom I am working in had new windows.

    After the battle I had with them the other week, after they had been recently painted, they now ALL open. They'll be open today!
