And another late night semi-wasted: did lots of filing but sat for 20 mins in the Mr T queue to find that once I'd reached the top, there were no spaces. Oh well try again tomorrow for May 12th. Grumpily stalks off to bed.Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.10

Morning All
Dishes are washed and bedding is in the washer so a good start. I haven't got dressed or walked the dog yet though. I'm thinking I may put the duvet over the line just to air it for a bit while the bedding's in the WM.
Have a good day all
Hugs

Morning all,
Another lovely day here, it's windy but blue skies. The dog has had a lovely long walk, the DW is unloaded and the WM is swishing. I am fasting until noon and not drinking any alcohol this week so I will have to do some flying to take my mind off the fridge!Firstly, I will sort the kids brekkie and tub up the chilli I made yesterday for the freezer. Have lovely days all xx10 -
Morning all,
It’s another beautiful day here, hopefully not as windy as yesterday.
This morning I have to be near the phone for a hospital phone consultation for DD. I can’t think of another excuse to put off clearing some emails and paperwork. I just hope that they phone sooner rather than later, as I hate doing the paperwork pile!
DH’s aunt died in her care home yesterday morning. We don’t think it was virus related. He now has the extra anxiety of sorting out from a distance whatever can happen now, plus the will etc. Another aunt (different care home) has suspected lurgy.WM is on with towels in it. I have had a cuppa and breakfast. Tempting as it is to read my book, I think it is laptop and paperwork time.
Have a lovely day all. Xx9 -

Morning all
Yesterday I did dailies, paid stuff and the 30 min task of exercise. I also joined my book group via Zoom.
Calmer here today, so wish I could get washing done and out on the line, the pile is growing!! Anyway, will do what I can flying wise, paid stuff now, bathroom, en suite and downstairs loo already swished over, litter trays refreshed, bed made and windows are open.
DH and I will try for a lunchtime walk if we can coordinate meeting finish times, after work I will tackle a little more flying.
have a good day all, hugs to poorlies, sympathy for those who have lost friends and loved ones. Take care xx9 -
Good morning!
I was up & dressed before 9am this morning! (just!!) I have had breakfast and checked the bank accounts. DH is back to work today after a week off. I think the plan today is to potter around indoors, and hopefully cross some things off the list. I also need to sow some cucumber/courgette/sweetcorn/squash seeds, which will probably be all I do in the garden today. I am going to check the cupboards & do a small (hopefully!) food shop. Is anyone else spending a lot more on food?! I am going to g00gle biscuit recipes - specifically bourbons & custard creams - as I have one of those shaped biscuit cutters and have never used it! I should probably do that before I go shopping...….
Round 1
Empty DW
Look up recipes
Make shopping list
That'll do for starters!

Fayolle - hugs coming your way xx
I'm glad todays list is the bedroom as I did that at the weekend so today I will go off piste. I'm finding my afternoons and evening are productive but I just seem to lose the mornings by pottering about, maybe checking bank accounts etc. Really need to get a better routine.
Right, let's see what today brings! x10 -
Round 1 done! The biscuit recipes were easy to find, and the ingredients are as expected, with the exception of custard powder. I need icing sugar, caster sugar & butter though, so they have been added to my list. I need to pop to the shop (BandM, and Mr Al). I need the car for this - I haven't used it for about 4 weeks - I hope it starts!!
Round 2
drink tea!
Get changed into proper 'going outside' clothes, as opposed to gardening or slobs!
Get shopping (assuming car starts!)
Mudbath - I am exactly the same! My mornings are very unproductive! I seem to have trouble getting started. I am awake at just gone 7am every day, but then nothing!!
Fayolle - hugs to you and your family x
