    Ta-dah! My kitchen is sparkling!

    Just having a cuppa, then a HHI to make sure HRH has enough work shirts and trousers...apparently there wasn't enough choice today...

    Filling, sanding and filling again for the windowsill in the dining room today - hoping to paint it tomorrow if I prep it well enough today.

    Been filing paperwork, completed the 2020 compulsory Goat Inventory required by the Welsh Government and composing a letter to our neighbours who are being PITAs over the number of people visiting MY house, through MY gates, across MY driveway to drop off or collect dogs. Having them be rude and aggressive towards my customers is not on. Imagine how they're going to react when I inform them we are getting Large Black rare breed pigs and considering opening a pooch parlour as my businesses are growing at a rate of knots and I'm ready for the next phase :rotfl:

    Wicked, arent I? *Mwahahaha*
  • Hello everyone, great to see so many of you today.

    This morning I went to work and dealt got red of a huge task (could so easily have turned into a frog or even worse)
    Home now
    WM 1
    TD 1
    Bed made and clothes picked up

    Place is tidy as we went away for the weekend and I made sure everything was done before we left.

    House is currently freezing and I have both pellet stoves on. I really want to get on with some admin and financial stuff and I need to lesson plan, all things that involve sitting for a while which isn't going to be easy until the place warms up a bit.

    Off to find some soup or similar for lunch.

    After a very long time away from this thread, I'm going to try to give it a go this week. My cleaning routines are completely out of the window (the joys of having a very destructive toddler who is going through the "I must exert myself" phase and refuses to tidy up) and I always have a state of CHAOS, so something needs to be done. Lovely to see Valli and some of the familiar faces that were around back in the day when my house actually looked fairly good.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Sticking my head round the door....

    I've done 2 x WM loads this morning; the plan is to tackle the Frog list - some of them are veritable cane toads - this coming fortnight, as I have no dog here til 3rd February (unless of course I get a last-minute booking).
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
  • Afternoon....so glad to be back....and to have been missed is lovely xxx thank you everyone xxx

    So, Ive been tackling some long standing admin frogs during the day.,

    saved £120 on gym membership this morning, although I hardly feel well enough to go, (canceling it completely feels like admitting I will never have a good day, or a good few hours ever again) so thinking positively on that.

    Shopping for tonight's dinner done, two difficult phone calls done, fat club done for another week. One lot of WU done, ready for the main listy after dinner has been done, then blow the dust off laptop
    The cold never bothered me anyway

    Rounds 2 and 3 completed :T

    I've also sewn the seam on my work shirt for tomorrow and unpacked four bags of Christmas presents: packaging recycled where possible and gift bags added to the stash to be reused next year :money:

    And I finished reading my book so that has gone in to the cs pile :D
