Morning all xx

I eventually went to sleep,  and woke up at 8.30....feeling a bit groggy now. First brew has gone down well though, so I'm looking forward to another. I've asked PJ and S not to call for coffee this morning- daft to walk into germs for no good reason.... feels like I'm coming down with a cold. Time will tell.

Yesterday I ordered birthday presents for PJ (70 on 1st Nov.), my niece and great niece (33 and 4 on 7th Nov) plus Christmas presents for niece and great niece. My youngest godson is 18 on 25th Nov- I'll put money in his card. I've already bought their cards so that's November birthdays sorted.

While I was awake in the night I was mentally composing a list for December and January birthdays. It passes the time 😉

I need to write down where I'm at with C-shush too - not far tbh.

Plan: brew 2, set WM swishing,  get dressed, feed birds, 

Have a good day 😊

Thank you for the list Valli 🙂

Finally I can say I've actually done something on a list..lol 

Did my meal planning for the week Friday if last week as I need to place my Tesco's order and check everything was all in my syn level for Slimming World.

Have got the chicken out of the freezer to defrost for tonight's tea - lazy garlic Kiev 😉

Washed bedding yesterday and it blowed dry yesterday in the lovely wind. Put the clean bedding on for the week yesterday.

And regarding slinkies I have lost 1½ stone since March on Slimming World, as well as losing 10% of my overal weight. Really happy especially as I keep getting slimmer of the week..lol

Really must get out of my pj's before midday..

Plan completed + eaten breakfast,  put out rubbish and recycling,  and pegged out the washing. 

Plan 2: FUPA washing on airer, put airer away, coffee and parrots. 

Baby steps today - I keep looking at the kitchen ....and thinking of something else to do....but I will do something in there before the close of play.

WM x2 done out of whirly, then OH arrives with a bucket full of dirty garage cloths (from cleaning the motorbike) it seems these cloths have been hanging around since May time..................... these are now in WM along with 2 scoops of vanish and 1 of washing power.

Whole house hoovered

Attempted to remove some limescale marks off the shower screens, not doing too well, the screens are cleaned every time we use it, so I think the squeezy thing is bent or not working too well.

Bird poop removed from outside of conservatory windows

HM soup out for lunch, and mince to defrost to spag bol tonight.

OH is working through his list, so far he has booked a podiatrist or similar to see to his nails, which are awful caused by the treatment. He has his car to book in next and is talking about going to a gym...............he is yet to ring any of them.

Dailies done, living room dusted and I started to clean the oven before volunteering.  Now back from that and having lunch, I now have no excuse not to finish cleaning the oven!

Kaz try rubbing a lemon, cut in half over the shower screen where the limescale is. Leave it for about an hour then rinse off. This might help 👍

Monday - Basically clean kitchen and dining room - 15 minutes should do it

Clear kitchen surfaces as much as possible
Wipe down worktops, hob, handles
Sweep/mop the floor
Empty bins - get the rubbish out of the way.
Rehome anything that should be elsewhere

Extra - meal plan for the week - easy 'cook themselves' meals are in order - utilise the SC; plan a jacket spud day, what can you thaw from the freezer?  Integrate it with your self care aims.  THIS WILL BE THE ONLY EXTRA ALL WEEK AND I'M PUTTING IT IN HERE SO THAT YOU CAN PLAN YOUR -

Self care
Give some thought to what you would like to do at some point this week to take care of you.  Ideally something every day.  You might like to do this while having a long, bubbly bath then slipping into your pjs.
Try and have an early night
Some thoughts - hairdresser?  Manicure? Pedicure? (these might need booking)
Crafting, gardening, reading - have you got what you need to hand?
If the kids are off school - this is a life lesson for them - people are more important than clean houses - this is a lesson they too need to learn.  So plan a no devices day...board games?  a long walk in the fresh air?
