    Hi again everyone, joining you all again for the 100th time :rotfl: I started a diary on here tonight but I've had second thoughts. I lurk on this board here almost every day and love it here so I think I'll just post my daily to dos and ramblings here instead - can anyone tell me how to delete a thread I've started elsewhere? :huh:

    Morning all :)
    Welcome Dreamsofaunicorn, hope you decide to stick with us :)

    HK, glad to hear that you are getting out and about again, and hope you get the treatment you need soon!


    DD is coming round with kids shortly, so I don't anticipate getting much done. However, after my mega housework binge yesterday, I am happy to take it a bit easier, if indeed dealing with the requirements of an almost 5 year old diva and an 8 month old is 'easier' :eek: :rotfl:
    Woke up a bit abruptly for some reason, so took a bit longer to function properly this morning! Done so far:
    Healthy porridge breakfast with fruit and yogurt :)
    Made raspberry muffins with raspberries from the garden :)
    Making soup for dinner with ingredients mainly from the garden :)
    Washed up / tidied kitchen :)


    I don't anticipate getting much else done, but don't intend spending anything. Will freeze some of the muffins, and am planning pesto pasta and salad for dinner :)

    Todays plans
    - Collect food shopping and have healthy lunch and dinner
    -Washing on and out to dry
    -Clear out some old clothes and take to charity shop
    -List old fitbit on Ebay
    -Was planning on the gym today but will have to see how I feel later
    -List unused wool on eBay or start knitting scarves with it - its a gorgeous colour so may do that instead
    -Make soup out of left over veggies

    Off to get my second coffee now

    Hello can I join you all please?
    First thing that is bothering me though is how do I find my post again so I can say “done when it’s done!
    I’m beyond rubbish at this sort of thing!
    So my list for today is
    Do a food inventory starting with freezers. Done. I’ve got the weeks food already in there, so meal plan done Yay
    Homework with C. He hates it, so this may be a challenge mostly done!
    Look at finances and see where we are at
    Do one of my 3 baskets of ironing
    Wash school uniform on 30 and dry on rack Done
    Change and wash our bedding Done
    Watch a promised movie with C snuggled up under a quilt. (We are all full of coughs and colds ��
    Right off I go to see what I can get done!
    Have a lovely day
    Xxx

    Hi all,

    I'm feeling much happier then I was yesterday :D Sorted the family issue as best as I could and hopefully its a lesson learned for those involved.

    Today we have
    * socket off at the wall for ds2s alarm clock
    * registered with the new gp surgery
    * popped to Sains to spend £8 off a £40 voucher, bought mainly basics stuff, tinned tomatoes, beans, pasata, soup , kidney beans etc
    * home for brunch rather then eating out which the "old" us would have done.
    * downloaded some games for the kids on the ps plus thing

    To do
    * Triage fridge and put together a use up salad for tonights meal, as well as the veggies I know there is a bit of gammon and some tuna mayo to use up
    * watch a film from our stash for movie night with the kids
    * rm surveys
    * message sis about ideas for my nieces birthday - thinking we could go for a meal using mr T vouchers (wrapped her january sales yankee candles and mug with her name on yesterday in reclaimed gift paper ;) )
    Sticking with the "Small things" thread to keep up us on the straight and narrow.
  • 1LL - I'm pleased to read that you're sorted with new gp :dance:
    HK - hope that you're doing ok.
    Welcome to new people - we are a lovely bunch - just dive right in.
    I have been a busy bunny this morning - barely stopped. Not a nsd as I've been out shopping this morning, a top up shop at Aldee and some specialist cat food for my naughty tortie in an attempt to get her weight up a bit. Also had to walk round to Mr A to get pepperoni pizza for ds as Aldee were sold out and that could have been an issue - helped me to get my steps up.
    I have also done my tutoring (day off tomorrow :D), and am waiting for bestie to arrive with coffee. Looking forward to that today as I'm feeling a bit tearful for no good reason - my anxiety is through the roof...
