Thank you for the lists. I’m trying to make a concerted effort this week. Shouldn’t be too hard to exceed my last week’s flying.
So today, in between a full day at paid stuff, I have washed a load of towels, done HHI, given the kitchen a s&s including the hob, after cooking dinner. Kitchen floor is still gross, as are the bathrooms.
2 bags have been sorted for a cs trip tomorrow. HH spent sorting out the paperwork that needs to be tackled, unfortunately that includes the car insurance. Couldn’t face actually doing the paperwork so that’s another job for tomorrow. Plans for the rest of the evening are to make lists for tomorrow shopping and to meal plan. The fridge is pretty bare, the result of DH being responsible for shopping last week.0 -

got in from work about 9am today and the ex called saying he was thinking of popping over later so cue me panicking cos of all the stuff I had all over the place (some habits are hard to break. lolz) and I ended up S&S the bathroom, two loads of laundry, finished the dishes and S&S the kitchen, picked up all the nightwear off the floor from kids leaving this morning and vacuumed all the rooms before crashing at around midday. Woke up around the time the kids got home just before 4 and was so hungry, I nearly ordered a pizza but instead, I went into my (sort of) clean kitchen and made a veggie chilli instead. Now back at work (and feeling like crap but gotta work!) and thinking about what I will have the energy for tomorrow... if anything!
I do need to stop at the post office to pick up the last present and then get wrapping. If I can muster the impetus to do that on my way home in the morning, I will try...Proud to be Member of BSC #92Hoping to get debt free again :wall::heart2: working hard to make my daughters proud :heart2:0 -
