    Hair washed
    Wardrobe/baskets/storage sorted through,large bag ready for CS/recycle/bin:T
    Hot chocolate decluttered:cool:
    Making a list of things I would like to do.. FOR ME.. (Think I’ve spent so long living for others I’m not sure what to do for myself when I actually have time!)
    Ooh.. WM has just finished.. off to put it all on horsey:rotfl:

    Somebody (Kaz?) posted about washing her car...this has prompted me to do mine. I've also checked oil, washer bottle and coolant. Barometer has moved significantly (into the dry side) and washing is flapping in a gentle breeze.
    I need to construct a shopping list.

    Being put to shame by you all, as I am struck down by a serious case of cba. 1 load of washing done and shirts have been ironed. It’s a beautiful day outside with lots of dripping icicles. I’m wandering about wasting the day, which will frustrate me later. I’m going to have lunch then give myself a talking to.
  • Fayolle your CBA vibes have drifted over here. Have taken one GF to work, shopped for bread and milk, eaten leftovers for lunch and now collapsed on sofa.

    There is clean washing to put away, the dog could do with a walk, the utility floor is filthy, I need to meal plan. But I just want to sit here.

    Big bin emptied to outside black one
    Food bin emptied to outside one.
    Swept kitchen floor.
    WUDUPB the cat bowls and tray.
    Finally hung DS1’s Picture in his room (after putting a hanging thingy on the picture itself)
    Organised/ wrote bday card for Moomin Mamma, put with gift ready for end of month.
    Wrote Wedding acceptance.
    Bottle tops in bag ready for work

    It’s a beautiful day out there, sun is shining through my window.. Shall enjoy it for 10 more mins then off to work I go:(

    It was me who was gonig to car wash, but there is still snow out there a little bit of sun andd it is currently -3 still, so no car washing here for now, as knowing my luck, the water will freeze and I will go A over T and break something!!
    So being sensible and watching TV not that there is much on.

    Well its a lovely sunny day but bitterly cold here, lots of black ice around this morning.

    Did a HHC whilst DS napped this morning, I:

    Unloaded DW
    Put baby clothes in WM
    Cleared kitchen sides and wiped down
    Wiped items before putting back
    Wiped door fronts & fridge
    Cleaned hob & wiped extractor hood and font of cooker
    Wiped windowsill

    A little while I took the dogs for a nice brisk walk, and now sitting here decluttering a cuppa whilst DS has second nap of day.

    Nice roast beef for tea so looking forward to that.

    Some of you have had loads of snow...13 inches :shocked: We normally get barely any in Norfolk, so slightly jealous but also relieved.
