Hope your virtual assessments go well Narco x
I took DH to work at 6.30am then went to Mr M and Mr Ts being only clothes shops open. I bought a long sleeved top, a pinafore dress and a cardigan. All not brilliant quality but they will have to do. I need to get back on the slinky plan but enjoy choc choc too much. Then collected DH and DS2’s medication from chemist and put some cash in my bank at the post office.
Next I went to DG’s house. My uncle turned up to help clear a shed whilst I emptied under the stairs. I found some “snobs” with a note with ds1’s year 1 class teacher’s name and his name. Seems not long ago. Also found his teletubbies ball and a drawing toy. Under stairs is now empty and mopped.
most drawers are now empty in her kitchen but I have filled the table and worktops with items for people to choose. Need to work out what to do with knives. They are very sharp ones. Crockery cupboards cleaned and edited but had to replace some of the contents as I ran out of room. Have shredded 3 more folders of paperwork. I’m at the stage when it looks worse than the start.Metal man collected lots of scrap.
neighbour poked her head over fence and said hello
Uncle did a tip run kindly
I remembered to collect DH from work and cooked dinner. I’m a bit achey now. I plan to find an online course to refresh my skills tomorrow. Sleep well x9 -

Morning all,
I was in the WAC club for a while last night, during which I put the DW on and watched some tv. Feel okay but will no doubt be flagging later. I did mop the floors last night 😇, finally! A friend is popping over today whilst I'm at work to do some techie bits for me, including setting up our new firestick which we have instead of Sky. He'll also walk the dog, I'm leaving him some cake as a thank you.
The council tax bill landed last night on email so there's that to sort as well. I also had an email saying my raspberry canes are on their way, looking forward to getting those in the ground. Tonight it's simple pasta for dinner.Have fab days all xx9 -
Morning everyone, yesterday was a very long full day at work but I did wash up before I went out and bed was made. When I got back I cleaned both pellet stoves, the litter trays and a quick hoover of the living room so keeping on top of the place. Today I'm not working so will get on with stuff, thinking about having another go in out bedroom as it's not looking as good as it was.
Bed made, clothes picked up
WM on
Kitchen tidy
Now to check banking and update spreadsheets whilst I have breakfast11 -

Girls flung to school.
Todays list is boring..
OH has cat trays to clean, post office run and chemist to collect prescriptions.

Amazon subscriptions are on their way too.. loo rolls, DW tablets, coffee, coffeemate.. big bulky boring stuff.

Morning xx
I'm contorting in the vain hope that I can give myself a much-needed kick up the butt. Piggers - you are the nearest, perhaps you can help? A few well aimed hob nailed boots fluffy mules should do the trick. Pretty please.
I slept in until 8.15, having decided that 5.05 was too early to get up on a non work day. Sounds logical but when I sleep in I wake up feeling bleugh / lethargic. Since I already felt that way I got weighed - and breathe....not good!
And now the pity party must end.....enough already! It is what it is.
Round 1 =
brew 2 and breakfast
get dressed
feed the birds
put out the recycling
WUDUPA
My bed is made and there's not enough washing to make a load. My goal for today was to clean the basin in the bathroom - so Level 1 is perfect for me...and broken down into steps like that makes it feel doable (don't ask!) So I'm not coming back until I've completed Round 1 and Level 1. I may be a while....
Love to all. Honey_Bear you are an inspiration as always

Good morning!
I took the dog for a longish walk this morning before work, and emptied the cat tray. My first Wednesday of work for 2 months, and I have 3 under 5s instead of 2! Emergency care for the 3 yr old as his older brother was hit by a car yesterday 😱 He is ok, but has a complicated fractured foot/ankle and they kept him in. He walked out in front of an a&e nurse on her way home from work! Poor woman!! He is 15.
The boys are playing happily with cars and dinosaurs 😊 I am expecting a delivery of 4 64l useful boxes, so we can't really go out. The 4 yr old was moaning about the 'long' walk yesterday, so I don't think he will mind! 🤣 Is it sad that I am looking forward to removing some stuff into the boxes? 🤔😂
Well done to DM on the interview. I haven't got any advice as I have been self employed for about 14 years! And well done on the progress at DGs
Hugs to those that need them 🤗 We have been collecting sticks on our walks, so I have spares if needed 😊9
