    This time tomorrow night I shall be on my own!! Honestly can't wait. His mother is driving me potty!!

    OH says he is coming back on Saturday, so there are some things I want to get done whilst he's away:
    1. Clean the en-suite
    2. Clean out bedroom
    3. Change the bedding
    4. Clean the living room (so much dog hair!!  :s)
    5. Clean out my animals (can't do it when the dog is here in case they escape!!)
    6. Sort through my wardrobe and bedside cabinet - I've got so many toiletries and make-up items, and I want to know what i have got, so I know not to buy anymore, and if there's anything I can sell.
    7. Get all the washing done.
    8. Put the Christmas decorations away.
    I've got physio tomorrow morning, which I will have to do in my bedroom seeing as she hasn't left yet. I haven't cleared anything off the card today, but daily payments will resume on Friday. I have been doing some earning today, so hopefully that money will start coming in soon.

    Yes maybe if you don't have much to sell you could do a job lot bundle on ebay. This works well for clothes and beauty items and only one lot of postage then. 
    2nd class parcel is reasonable postage cost. 
    Everything crossed for tomorrow 🤞😅😉

    Evening

    I"VE GOT MY HOUSE BACK!!!!!! It's soooooo nice. Anyway, I haven't done much today, but will get cracking with my list tomorrow, however I did get the Christmas decorations down, so that's one job crossed off! I want to try and get my list completed over tomorrow and Thursday, so that I can start January off able to earn money. I'll split the jobs up over the next couple of days:
    1. Clean the en-suite - Wednesday
    2. Clean out bedroom - Wednesday
    3. Change the bedding - Wednesday
    4. Clean the living room - Thursday
    5. Clean out my animals - Thursday
    6. Sort through my wardrobe and bedside cabinet - Wednesday
    7. Get all the washing done. - Thursday
    8. Put the Christmas decorations away.
    I also need to get back into my health kick in the new year. My weight has gone up again, and my belly is getting bigger by the day, not to mention my thighs, so I need to watch what I eat slightly and get back on the treadmill every day. I've ordered some healthier stuff in my shopping that comes tomorrow, plus we're getting some Hello Fresh meals to cook next week. I know they aren't cheap (I have got a discount off my next 2 boxes), but they discourage us from getting takeaways, and it means that I'm eating some vegetables, which I'm terrible for!! I'm going to weigh myself on Friday, and then do it once a week to see if I can drop a few pounds. I don't need to lose loads, I just need to get it back under control.

  • Glad to hear your having a nice rest. Nothing needs to be done today and I agree start tomorrow with gusto. That's quite a list. 

    Nice to have a change with the hello fresh meals. 
    Keep us updated on how your getting on.
    Amazing work with the decorations down already.

    Tell me about it!! I've spent the past nearly 40 years trying to put it on!! It's all down to the new medication I'm on, and I just can't eat all the usual rubbish that I have been told to eat for my whole life.

    Yeah, I've been on Kaftrio since 10th October. I'm going to the hospital on 13th January (hopefully!) to have my oxygen reassessed, as I don't think I need it now when I'm just sat around doing nothing. I know I still need it when I'm walking around and doing exercise, and probably when I'm sleeping, but we'll see what the hospital says. My breathing is definitely a lot better and my cough is practically non existent now. When I do cough, it doesn't sound like me any more. I guess it's the cough of a "normal" person now!!
