    Morning all :hello: lovely and sunny here, which wasn't forecast so I've put a load of washing on and will peg out when it's done. Other things:

    Small to pre paid lessons
    Get ready for tomorrow, packed lunches, homework, bags
    Meals from stores, will make some Chinese dumplings to go with it
    Dye hair
    Need to do some work at some point today
    DH working overtime :T
    Cut a voucher from product and pegged it to fridge so I know where it is
    Hopefully DH and I will both make it to the gym later too
    Possibly pop to town and get smalls to spend their Christmas book tokens
    Maybe an hour in the garden, need to get creative as not enough tubs and don't want to plant lettuce leaves in the borders. Hmm.

    Enjoy your Sunday peeps.

    Hey folks,

    I've been AWOL and working hard in the garden.

    I have finally cleared all the ivy from the borders! Next door's cat thanked me by leaving a nice jobby in it overnight.

    I have been saintly - a night out and a dinner party and not a drop of booze touched my lips. I'm feeling very proud of myself.

    Back in work today with the usual missions:
    • B/L/D from stores - done
    • Reconcile budget sheet - partially done. TSB down.
    • Nip into garden to water things (not as much rain here as forecast) - done
    • Charge phone in work - done
    • Run at lunchtime - done
    • No alcohol - done
    • Try to flog some more of the outstanding bits from mother in law's. It's too good to send to the tip... brand new things in boxes (but not charity shoppable) I might try relisting on FB now the nice weather is here. - nope
    • Try not to stress about emerging work situation. It wasn't my fault, even though I have been the one to find and flag it, but I have a feeling they might try to pin it on me. - done
    • Water garden - done
    • Poss sow coleus seeds - nope
    Have a good one all
