    Thank you! Have just sat down to prosecco and a muffin, have been cleaning the bathrooms, out front and hallway. No idea why, just felt like it! My day was ok thank you. Not up there with the best though I have to say, but it's always the same. Anyway, small ones are asleep and all bathed, just need to polish Roo's shoes!

    Aw thanks honey! No I didn't write a list! But I think that may be my problem! I write a list and write a million things and don't get half of them done and then give up. But I just randomly decided to do things today! Have lots more to do, but I thoroughly cleaned stuff! I never do that!!!!

    Well I'm awake! I'm super tired, as adidn't get to bed until nearly midnight! But think we're all sorted for school.... Going for coffee with my friend straight after drop off, May is only there until 12 today. Would like to get some more tidying done this afternoon/evening.

    Thank you all again for all of the lovely birthday wishes, I really do appreciate it x

    Bought a few bits of shopping yesterday, need to work out what it comes to.

    Don't know if they are doing the offer in your area but I saw on groupon they are doing 3 odeon tickets for £15 I know it's still pretty expensive when on a budget but ok as a treat! 🙈

    Hope hubby treats you when he is home :)

    I made croutons last night with bread that was going a bit hard, I am hoping to stay out of the super market until tomorrow, I have carefully planned what I will spend my remaining 4.94 on :D
  • Years ago I worked for a chap who insisted that everyone wrote down first thing in the morning everything we needed to get done that day and then worked our way through it ticking them off as we went .

    I have done it myself often when life seemed to overload, and time seemed to be running away with me, and it does work.

    I think if I do all these odd jobs then I can have a treat myself (usually involves a book and a cup of coffee :):))

    I love my list, don't write to many things. Be realistic with what can be done in the time you have that day. With your first brew write down 5 things that HAVE to be done. Then write 5 things you'd like to get done :)
    I love the satisfaction of ticking things off, and when I feel like I've done nothing but not sat down I can see what I have actually done.

    Good luck this morning x
