    Morning all! Just decluttered DH to work and have already made lunches for the boys and lit the woodburner. Cuppa now...

    Fayolle - you made me chuckle. There are some [STRIKE]weeks[/STRIKE] days where I manage nothing from the list, but the family is fed and no-one's dead, so I count that as a win!

    Tiny has his pre-school booster jabs today :( I'm going to feel evil and he will cry the biggest tears EVER and howl for England and Wales.

    I spent quite a few hours helping a friend's husband compile a "legal" letter yesterday to their non-builders. Need to finish it off today, then they can add and tweak it to suit. I rather enjoyed it!

    Got to get templates for slate window cills to the stone mason today. That will declutter many £££s this week. Fast running out of money - I'll have to be brave and start listing on eBay. Gulp.

    Laters x
  • Morning all,

    Checking in to report a one pound loss on the Slinky challenge :T I'll take that this week, was a bit naughty over the weekend with a takeaway and a meal out!

    We are all ready for school/pre school, once I have dropped them off I have to drive to a meeting for DH work, so that will be half the day gone. Hoping it stays dry so I can get out for a good walk once home. Swimming lessons tonight, so the usual manic Tuesday rush.

    Flying today? Well I've made the beds!

    Have lovely days all x
    MFW :)

    Morning all :wave:

    One pound decluttered in the slinky challenge :T Got talking to one of my new office colleagues yesterday and we're going to be slinky buddies off-line :)

    I'm going in to work later today as I have a doctor's appointment at 9.10 am. I made the appointment when the bottom fell out of the world last week and my manager suggested that I should see the GP as I did 'slump' so drastically, but I feel a bit of a fraud as I'm now managing the slump reasonably well and certainly don't want to take even more meds! My anxiety levels are through the roof BECAUSE I'm going to see the doctor which doesn't help - and, once again, it's a totally new-to-me doctor as every time I establish contact with one they leave. :(.

    And breathe..

    Morning routine has helped so I'm washed, dressed and bed is made. DS has just set off for work. I'm going to feed the birds, put out the rubbish and recycling, and decant wild bird seed in to the container.

    Hope everyone has a good day.

    Morning

    Up very early this morning to take OH to CMK train station, haven't been there for years, it use to have a one way system, but now it has what I would term a split one way system, sort of like 2 letters u next to each other, if you in one half you cannot reach other half......most odd.

    Any way back home now
    Bin have been emptied
    Kitchen is done
    Dead mouse cleared up!! (thank you darling cat, who is now curled up in his bed, looking all cute and cuddly)

    Ironing to do.....
    Bank to check

    Morning,
    Looking to improve on yesterday's performance. So today I have done the school run, popped into dr on way home as that made logistics sense, wm now on. That's 100 % over yesterday, so I might stop now while I'm winning.

    Actually I do have a long list of errands as well as Valli's lovely lists, so I had better go to it. Just remembered that I need to book an eye test too - adding that to the list.

    Back later.

    ETA - hope doctor's visit goes ok roundtuit.

    Morning all and :wave: to ald65

    Is there anything left in your flat, Lynne? :p

    Well done pigpen for finding the mattress.

    Yesterday I completed Level 1 and my bits of Level 2 in the LR. Today DH will do the hoovering!

    I fell into bed at 9.45 last night, unable to keep my eyes open. Woke up at 5.00 and have already
    - phoned HMRC
    - sent two emails full of figures to the Church Treasurer
    - cleaned the kitchen (except the floor which is DH's job)
    - checked the smoke detector and found it's not working :eek:

    My plan for the rest of today:
    - replace battery in smoke detector
    - finish recording church figures
    - SW weigh-in
    - coffee with friend in town
    - walk Rosie
    - lunch
    - zzz catch-up, or I shall be asleep by the start of this evening's lecture
    - college 5.00 - 9.30 plus travel time

    Just about keeping my head above water, but not doing much essay preparation atm :(

    Rosie did very well at class yesterday - off the lead at all times, very relaxed, even ignoring the other dogs when they passed close by her. The only trouble is, she's putting on weight from all the extra treats she's earned! - she'll have to join the Wannabe Slinkies :rotfl:

    Dizzy Imp, is Tiny wearing his Superman outfit when he goes for his jab? x

    Good luck at the DR's Roundtuit x

    (((Hugs))) spoons and sticks all round, as needed x

    decluttered 2 large people.. Twinkle being a turd... again.. She won't eat and is stood screaming at me and ragging on my clothes because she is hungry.

    TD on.. I put both washers on before I went to bed.

    Hoping to find a home for excess wrapping paper today and get more interesting items on ebeast. I need £76 more by Friday. I need to sort Twinkles outgrown stuff and still have 3 binbags of 4-5 to go through.. I am thinking of breaking down to bundles of 25/30 items and selling on local FB groups at £15/£20 a bag.. I have 3 My Little Pony jackets to go too.. Paw Patrol ones are going to grandpink. Oh.. and baby bits to list..

    I need to battle my way to the cupboard in the girls room to put christmas boxes away too.
