    Thanks SSG. So true. My current bathroom is an embarrassment. I will be so pleased when i have a functional bathroom :)

    Exercise is a key part of the lifestyle I will be living once my job has gone so I need to put things in place.

    These are the local classes I have found to try out in the next 2 weeks:

    Tai Chi
    Ballet (don't laugh)
    Zumba
    Circuits
    Gym and steam class

    I am not doing gyms on membership anymore. I’ve wasted a fortune over the years. Of the above classes I need 2 a week. This will cost £10 a week

    When I get the dog (after August) the walks will add to the health regime.

    TODAY
    I will cut the grass I didn’t cut yesterday :o
    Washing on
    Ironing
    Making almond and garlic greens (lovely 20p greens from Asd3):)
    Steaming floors
    Cleaning indoors

    Welcome to the bank holiday :)

    I love your list of classes to try out! Very open minded of you :) I couldn't possibly laugh at ballet - my only chuckle is at the thought of me attempting ballet. I'm not what you'd call dainty at just short of 6ft... :)

    I too love your lists and also how you are planning on carving out your day in order that your time profits both you and your business in the most positive way.

    I will be storing up some of your ideas ready for when I retire in two years time. Although I won't be working from home, I think a structured day will be of importance.

    And go you on the ballet!:T
