I spent most of yesterday on admin - working my way through a pile of paperwork sat on the kitchen table. Everything is now filed, binned, recycled or waiting to be shredded. And I feel quite 😇.
Back to the paid stuff today. 🤢. Looking for the positives: at least I have a job to go to, it's a decent commute, I work with a lovely team. Got to remind myself that it could be much worse. You just never know what the cockwombles in their ivory towers are going to throw at you next.
I used to be a regular on this thread many years ago. MSE must have deleted my account so newbie setting with a similar name to original lol.
Decided I need accountability to be more productive as aware I'm wasting time watching Facebook and instagram - I even started watching reels😱 so know help is needed lol.

Clean windows in these areas, check curtains/nets/blinds while you are there, do they need a clean?☑️

Wipe the tables and replace the cloth if necessary☑️ Sweep and mop the floors☑️ Run appliances through a 'clean' wash Deweb and defluff these rooms Got an hour... Clear and mop/vacuum the floors☑️ Scrub down the dining chairs.. Binbag dance! Grab a binbag.. fill it up.. and chuck it out! Clean the oven.. and the shelves!
Didnt get back on with a progress report yesterday so doing it now… bathroom scrubbed, all bins emptied and washed out, office, spare room, top stairs and landing dusted and hoovered, 2 x wm run, 1 dried on airer and 1 in TD as weather was rubbish. Oh, and a full day of paid stuff…
Hoping for much of the same today only the next floor down lol. Wm has already been run, DW emptied and windows are open for some fresh air, will get this mornings tasks done for the paid stuff and will then fly a bit.
Morning all. I have got my admin out of the way this morning so it's not hanging over me all day. About half way through with dailies. I have an online class this morning and then need to walk the dogs. Just having a cuppa, going to try to fit in floor mopping before the class.
Hope you've kept Kaz away from the oven Piggers. DH has got his jobs out of the way this morning too so we can have a relaxing afternoon. Christmas film I think!
No admin done and slinky went by the board too! Found an open box of chocs. Less said the better.
That sums up yesterday evening for me as well! whoops, is it kitchen day, I seem to have been busy elsewhere, yet again. Up earlyish, hair washed, bed stripped and remade, bedding washed and on the line. Took a trip to small town with a list, and stuck to the list and the 2 hours that I had allowed myself. Yesterday’s hm celery soup scoffed for lunch, this afternoon it is the turn of the carrots to become soup. Need to go into the loft to fish out some xmas tinsel or suchlike for DD to take back to her uni digs. Also have a list of cooking to do, need to vacuum the bedroom floor too. And the admin is still there. Did I mention that I also got more wool for more present making whilst I was out….
My temp is fine thank you, no need to be rushing around, the oven is clean, it needed it...............
Walk done, some fossils collected, there will be some major cliff falls soon, the cliff land has started to drop, you can see about 4 foot of new chalk half way up. It is so dangerous at the moment, I'm keep well on the beach.
Triplets are sleeping, ready for games tonight, one is now allowing us to stroke it, but on his terms only.
