    Morning all.

    I've done the food shopping and the laundry this morning. I have an interview on Monday so I am now going to go and find the location. I always worry that I won't be able to find the place and be late for the interview. A drive by takes away some of my nerves!!

    Ironing to do later whilst watching the Grand Prix qualifying. Hopefully I can talk DH into hoovering the stairs!! I hate that job.

  • Today me and the OH sorted out the mountain of recycling that had been forming in my kitchen. Tomorrow I simply must finish the job, wash up absolutely everything and get the kitchen in order again!
  • Well, that wasn't very productive but I did say that I was in competition for procrastinator of the year.
    I managed to tick two things off my list. Walk the dog and clean the kitchen.

    So today I will re add my list minus cleaning the kitchen.
    I am playing golf this morning so my Mum and Dad are looking after the dog. I'm praying they will walk him so that I can cross that off my list when I get home.

    Put clothes away
    Make soup and veggie shepherd’s pie
    Walk the dog
    Brush the dog.

    Have a good day all.

  • Good morning everyone
    I was just browsing through forums and discovered this thread. I wondered if I could join you all.
    I love making lists but I am becoming less successful at achieving my goals.
    I used to purposefully work my way through my list for the day but now I am so tired when I come home from work I am afraid weekends are the only time I really focus on my "to do" list.
    So my list for today is:
    empty waste bins and reline them.
    complete ironing I started yesterday.
    put things away in the hut that I have bought for the garden next year.
    seeing that I am out in the hut anyway I will weedkill the outside york stone langscaping (or at least part of it as it is rather a large area)
    I will also collect materials for and attempt to lag the outside garden tap in preparation for the severe winter we have been promised. :(
    I hope everyone has a fruitful day.

    Today's list:

    Sort laundry and empty airing cupboard
    Change bed linen
    Ironing

  • Good morning all

    Didn't achieve too much yesterday but managed to tick a couple of things off my list.
    Managed to make the soup and brush the dog. My parents took him for a walk whilst I played golf.
    Today my poor boy is going to the vets for the snip. Whilst he’s there I plan to:

    Clean out my now empty freezer
    Tidy dining room ( not used as dining room more as a dump everything room as I live alone with my dog)
    Make the shepherds pie
    Put my clothes away
    Clean the living room
    Take old £10 note to bank
    Try and get expired cheque re issued

    Have a huge list but only posting a few as no point trying to overwhelm myself.

    Have a great day everyone.

    And another week dawns!

    Plans for today involve........

    Signing a form and sending it off to the solicitor dealing with my imminent house move. Surely there can't be many more forms to sign.

    Showing my bedroom a duster and vacuuming the floor.

    Vacuuming the living room wooden floor in expectation of my new super dooper Viledo mop being delivered tomorrow. My steam cleaner blows all the electrics so back to person-power.

    Making a batch of biscuits for those times when only a biscuit will fill the gap.

    That will do for today.

    Have trouble remembering how to fly.
