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.0 -
Go, YL! You can do it. Big girl vibes coming your way!0

YL of course you can.
Rather bits'n'pieces today:
- did run 3 of week 4 C25K, rinsed out clothes and hung out in the sun
- watered greenhouse
- finished and emailed a report
- vacuumed spare bedroom, landing and study
- did small flower arrangement for spare room (brother and SIL back from hol this eve having flown from Stansted and left car with me)
- put 1 basket dry clothes away
- mopped kitchen floor
- wrote shopping list but didn't actually make it to shops
- went to dance class
- dropped brother's car at station.Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.0 -
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 xMFW

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.

Two fab things are happening right now.

2. My children are playing and laughing happily together and have been for 45 minutes :j:j:j:jMFW

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 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!Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016
