OK I need to do a HHC as I've been sitting on the sofa since I got up late. I missed my support group zoom meeting this morning and I feel bad about it..🥺
I have been productive though, I've done the following:- Sorted out the Christmas Card swap addresses
- Taken in more parcels
- Washed up
- Open windows to let smell of paint out
- Written a letter to a friend
- Folded up dry washing

Hi everyone, Hope everyone is doing well. I've not posted on here for a while but feeling a bit overwhelmed with everything so going to re-join and try and get everything in order before the end of the year. My lists will be a combination of things needing done in the house, uni work (I’m in my final year and working virtual) and also festive planning.
My plan of action for my first day of action get organised is to:- Find the kids Christmas jumpers and see if they will do another year. Order Christmas jumpers if required and list for sale ones that are in good condition but too small.
- Write up notes from the practical
session from uni
- Do one load in the WM
- Spend an hour listing to online
lectures for uni
- Attend virtual school meeting
- Check plants, water and make any
required notes (dissertation research)
- Make a festive present list
- Make a festive food shopping
list.
- Book festive food delivery
slots
- Dust the PC and desk
- Tidy up all the paperwork lying around the desk
- Empty the study bin and put the bins out for emptying
I think this is probably enough for me to tackle today, as small steps and I will get there.

I hope you had a productive HHC Natty xx
I've had an expensive afternoon without leaving my armchair! I've paid this week's rent, paid off a catalogue statement, arranged a Mr M delivery for tomorrow evening (if it comes) and a Mr T delivery for December 2nd; and I've requested my repeat prescription (but that doesn't cost anything now that I'm 60)
Mr M is (hopefully) bringing the sort of fresh stuff that I would usually pick up from Mr C00p between deliveries.
GF's results should arrive this weekend some time.

Another laundry shuffle done and today's washing brought in and warming on the radiators and airer, I think it's dry but it's also cold.
Recycling men have taken a full box plus 4 carrier bags of cans - bye byeI've brought the empty box back into the back yard.
Coffee now. Jacket potatoes with cheese and beans for tea.
Sorted.

Welcome back MMM, nice to see you back.
Wow, Round - you have been productive.
I have just finally remembered to turn on the wm from this morning. Work decluttered, ditto school run / driving practice. Postie delivered 1 parcel safely, white van man delivered a second, not so successfully. In his defence, the parcel was badly packaged, but I am now the proud owner of a box of broken glass. *sigh* another complaint to make...
I forgot to get dinner out of the freezer earlier, so an alternative is defrosting on a wing and prayer now.8 -
Hi all
Nasty headache this afternoon, just came from nowhere and I cant shake it off. Wish DH would stop talking.
Everyone fed, kitchen tidyish, washing up to date. Did someone say something about a holiday home for Flyladies? Like a Flylady retreat when things get too much at home? I am first in the queue.9 -
Well, it's been a productive day for me in the world of getting myself organised. Most of my list is completed so time to get a cuppa and watch I'm a Celebrity on tv before getting an early night. Hope everyone has had a productive day and managed to get things off their to-do list.
- Find the kids Christmas jumpers and see if they will do another year. Order Christmas jumpers if required and list for sale ones that are in good condition but too small.
- Write up notes from the practical session from uni - In Progress, it's taking longer than I thought it would.
- Do one load in the WM Second load currently in the WM.
- Spend an hour listing to online lectures for uni
- Attend virtual school meeting
- Check plants, water and make any required notes (dissertation research)
- Make a festive present list
- Make a festive food shopping list.
- Book festive food delivery slots Felt like mission impossible but now done.
- Dust the PC and desk
- Tidy up all the paperwork lying around the desk
- Empty the study bin and put the bins out for emptying

Round sending lots of virtual squishy hugs, and oodles of gws vibes to ds's GF and coping vibes for you all xx
Well, it looks like I may be getting a kitten at the weekend 😁🐈 We just need to work out how to do it 🤔 I think I may drop a cat box round tomorrow night, and they can put him in Saturday morning. We can then pick him up, check him over & take him home. I will book the vets for the weekend, or possibly Monday. A trip to the big green pet shop is on the cards after work tomorrow! I will post a picture when I can. Now its just the argument about names....DS wants to call him Phil 🤷♀️🤦♀️ 🙄
Sleep well everyone!
