2022 - Moving forward

jwil

Well I used the radiator brush, I've never seen so much dust 😱  I gave the front room a good clean, and pulled out the sofa to clean behind and sort out the block that stops it knocking the TV aerial (swearing a lot at DH as I had to move loads of stuff for a job that should have taken 5 minutes!).

The kitchen is clean!  I even cleaned the windows!  It looks so much fresher and brighter in there.  The boiler service is all done and no probs, so hopefully that's it for another year.

I also made a start on tidying our bedroom but didn't get too far with that as it was nearly time for the kids to go out.  They had a lovely afternoon and I got a few hours peace, in which I just sat and read

Having time off makes life so much easier.  I've naturally been eating more healthily as I've got more time to prepare stuff so I don't grab and go as much.  But I think having the house tidier makes a lot of difference to my motivation as well.  Hopefully my extra day off and the ability to keep on top of things better will mean I can keep going.  I do need to sort out prepping food though as the four days I'm working will be hectic.

We've got no plans for the next couple of days.  I have to join a work meeting tomorrow but hopefully just an hour.  Little miss has her re-booked vaccine on Friday but other than that, we can chill and do stuff at home or locally.  I don't really fancy travelling too far as the traffic will probably be a nightmare the next few days.

Well done on the dusting and the PADs. Sounds like things are going well.

You could do another half a hour in the bedroom. Every little helps. 😊

You are right - it's surprising how much I can get done even in 15 minutes, so I shall make an effort today

Another small sale yesterday so that has been my PAD today.

I'm shattered today, I haven't been sleeping well, I seem to have a busy mind!  So a quieter day today I think, though I shall make the effort to do short stints as a minimum.  It's nice to see the house feeling a bit cleaner and tidier.  Little miss says she didn't sleep well yesterday either, so she's made a den in the front room and snuggled in.  Little jwil is always happy to chill out.  I've got this meeting at 9 which is annoying, but as a colleague is off sick and the other is overseas, I needed to be there really as there are deadlines.  At least it should be over by 10.

It's very grey and dismal out there today.  Come back sun!

Have a good day everyone

A den sounds a wonderful idea. Perhaps I should build one and work inside it 😁 Unfortunately my dog is gormless so it wouldn’t stay standing without bricks and mortar, but it’s such a nice idea!

I fancy a den too. A little cocoon safe from the world.

I'd love a den too, it looked very comfortable!

My 1 hr meeting went on for 3.5 hrs!!  I was so annoyed by the end of it, that's half a day's work!  So I didn't really achieve anything in the end today.

Tomorrow's another day!
