  • Managed to get two things off the list done today but not much more due to poor dog being traumatised from being neutered. Poor boy.

    So I sorted the expired cheque out which tried my patience but then again it was my own fault for letting it expire. I also cleaned the living room.

    Will try and get some of the other stuff done tomorrow but depends on how poor doggie is doing.

    Morning.

    I managed all but one item on my list. I didn't get chance to change my bed linen.

    So jobs for today are:

    Change bed linen
    Clean lounge
    Clean conservatory
    Do some ironing
    Parcel up eBay sale ready for posting tomorrow
    Go for a walk even if it's raining
    If Plan A fails, remember there are 25 more letters
  • Do you mind if I join your little group please? Like Highland_Fling, I’ve been accomplishing less of my lists the last few years. I’m also self employed so it’s also quite possible for me to while away the hours with little to show for it sometimes. :( l’ll be back with a list in a bit.
  • Okay, here's my list for today, in no particular order:

    - put away at least one pile of clothes
    - do a load of laundry
    - finish a spreadsheet project for Client #1
    - create and assign tasks in Client #2's project
    - upload assets for Client #2
    - take a walk
    - do physio exercises
    - have afte work drinks with a friend
    - attend a webinar

    Did not manage to attack my bedroom yesterday so did that first thing this morning.

    Today I have been clearing out a kitchen cupboard, innards already to be packed into a box.

    My new, Vileda mop has arrived but I am putting off the pleasure of mopping floors with it until tomorrow. I can hardly bear the excitement.

    The rest of the day will be knitting Christmas stockings. I promised a friend some for a Church Christmas Fair at the beginning of December so it's all systems go until then.

    I think I did pretty well today considering I mentally spaced out for a couple of hours and took a nap.

    - [STRIKE]put away at least one pile of clothes[/STRIKE] - DONE

    - [STRIKE]do a load of laundry[/STRIKE] - DONE

    - [STRIKE]finish a spreadsheet[/STRIKE] project for Client #1 - HALF DONE. :) I finished one section of it and will attack more of it tomorrow.

    - create and assign tasks in Client #2's project

    - [STRIKE]upload assets for Client #2[/STRIKE] - DONE

    - take a walk

    - [STRIKE]do physio exercises[/STRIKE] - I just did them right now and holy crap, what a difference it makes. I know, I know. She would tell me all the time but each time I do them I'm reminded of how well they work, and they only take about 5 min.

    - have after work drinks with a friend - Nope. I cancelled because my stomach was acting up, hence my taking a nap.

    [STRIKE]- attend a webinar[/STRIKE] - DONE

    BONUS STUFF:

    - transfer funds in order to pay lawyer

    - reset my side table clock so I can stop using my phone for an alarm. This means I won't immediately look at phone when I get up and dilly dally about in the morning.

    - packed my bag/purse for tomorrow so I don't get stressed in the morning when I'm trying to leave early for a doctor's appointment

    - tracked my whole day of eating in MyFitnessPal. This was great to do again because I saw I actually *was* reaching some of my goals just intuitively.

    I'm going to handwrite and brain dump my list for tomorrow before heading to bed.
