    I love looking at people's baskets in the supermarket especially the small ones and imagining what they are doing. I have a great imagination sometimes.


    here's one for you then... 4 boxes of beers, 4 packs of condoms, a packet of party rings and a pack of nappies...

    I walked away...

    Did my LR yesterday. Moved the sofas - and I swear I have moved them since Christmas last year but I found a bauble under one of them *blush*

    Greeting all. Little late in this week, but I have a week off from work so flying will be as I can be bothered. I want to spend my week off playing video games, not cleaning. :)

    Yesterday I went to the gym twice (last week of the gym challenge, so going all guns) and picked my bike from the garage. They couldn't find an issue, so they just did a tune up, only charged me for halfhours labour. Seems okay so far.

    I sprayed oven cleaner into the oven last night, so that is my first task today. (I ususally spray overnight, as it means I have to clean the next day or I can't use it.

  • Hi folks

    Roundtuit, well done on being brave.

    Beds stripped this morning as planned. Will get a washing on tonight when I get home and then remake the beds. I didn't get the HH Ironing done last night so planning to do that too.

    OH will make dinner when he gets in tonight so I will make some Choc chip cookies to go with our cups of tea/coffee and for me to take to work as a snack.

    ((Hugs)) roundtuit. One day at a time. X

    So did I mention that I would be flying today?? I have managed to paint the wall on the landing, after much cursing when I couldn't get the lid off the paint. I hung the washing outside, and decided that it was such a lovely day, that it be a shame to waste it indoors. Consequently I am just back from a long walk with a friend, and very little flying achieved so far, unless you count currently feeding myself on random things in the name of fridge clearance.

    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
  • I just want to say thank you for these wonderful lists! I have been lurking for a couple of weeks, because I really need to take control of the chaos, and I have found it so helpful - I can already see the difference!

    Work, life and the universe have been a bit stressy recently and I feel that I am beginning to get on top of at least one of the things that has been overwhelming me, so I am really grateful.

    And lots of hugs for those of you going through tough times too.

    Love it, really made me smile!

    No more flying tonight, I'm exhausted but did manage to get an admin job done in between lessons this afternoon, many more to go.

    Look after yourselves

    Thank you allie, Fayolle and LameWolf xx Your hugs and kind words are greatly appreciated.


    Today I: got washed and dressed; made the bed; fed the birds; changed Sweetie's seed and water; put out the rubbish and recycling; WM x 2: had a check up at the dentist; topped up my phone; had a coffee with Dad; sorted a pile of magazines; tidied the table by my chair; and cried at Tipping Point because Mum will never watch it again :( The weirdest things set me off. (Although I'm not so sure about that as my phone turned itself off again this afternoon :eek: - coincidence???? )


    I've also eaten a load of rubbish and given myself indigestion - eejit.
