Morning all
I'm upish! It's miserable here the rain hasn't stopped. We are on the third day of rain and winds. Feeling a bit yucky so I've had a wee jiggle of the Rota at work and I'm having the day off.
WM is on its second load, and the emptied winterdyke is filling up again. I'm determined to finish my own washing before I do the bag of cloths from work. Then I can wash the filters and leave them to dry.
Get well hugs for badcat and roundtuitI'm not a muggle...I'm just magically challenged0 -

Achievements so far today:
- Breakfast was made and eaten, then I showered and dressed
- All Christmas decorations, including the outside lights, have been checked over, sorted and put away until December; a few more bits have landed in the CS box
- I chatted to NNDN
- I have loaded bags and boxes for the CS into my car; the other box full of boxes and packing materials is ready to take to the hospice trading centre on Friday when DH has a horse piddle appointment nearby; and there are bags of books awaiting delivery to various people including DS2 (so we must arrange to go over and see them soon)
- I have eaten lunch
- I have texted and emailed the Toddlers' families and helpers about shut-down for January (because of church floor repairs)
Next: trip to the CSthen Rosie's walk
The cleaning can wait until tomorrow, now that there is room to swing the Dy5%n :T
I have about 3 metres of empty bookshelf in my study :j which means I can start bringing family history stuff out of the awkward-access loft for sorting, labelling (as per DS1's request) and storing within reach.
(((Hugs)) to those who are coping with other people's problems or their own :grouphug:
Spoons, hot drinks and GWS vibes to all who are feeling under the weather :coffee:
And sticks to any Flyladies like me who are not inclined to just get on with it:rotfl:
