Goodintentions

Good afternoon!
I'm sorry I have been AWOL again   
I still seem to be suffering with overwhelm - a little bit of everything is being done, but nothing is finished!

I have just typed this post twice, and lost it twice!! I am going to try on my phone instead!! Grrrr!

Update (just in case you are interested, and to keep me accountable!)
Allotment/garden - too much to list! 🤦‍♀️ I have a weedy meadow!! I ordered a green wheelie bin last week (have to pay in this area) and filled it up in 3 days! At least I will get my money's worth! 😂 I need to sow/plant/pot on/mow etc. My mum helped me on Saturday and we did a fair bit. But she is 82 now, so I am watching to make sure she doesn't over do it.
House - where do I start! Outwardly it looks okay, but I know what is lurking! And don't get out the white glove & check for dust 😱
Family - DD1 has 6 weeks until her due date!! She is enormous, and I don't know where baby is going to go. She is only 5'1" so there is not a lot of space. I don't think she will last 6 weeks, but hopefully she will do 4. 
We are off to Scotland at the weekend to do the Edinburgh Marathon Festival. We are running as a family relay team in aid of Macmillan, and I am doing leg 2 (5.5 miles). As a family we are doing 87.2 miles over 2 days!! DH broke 2 ribs 2 weeks ago, but is still planning on doing the 5 & 10K, half marathon and leg 3 (8 miles) of the relay!! He has been off for 2 weeks, and is on annual leave this week 🤞

So far today I have done WMx1 (dried in the TD as it hasn't stopped raining), done some shredding, emptied the food bin into lottie the hottie, and done some admin (mainly setting up my phone as I got a new one on Saturday!) So many apps to log back into!! 

Jobs still to do:
Check emails & action where necessary. 
Sow some lettuces/salad in modules
Dye some chick peas red, white & blue for jubilee sensory play
Do some crochet (a mobile for DD1)
Some work admin...(always there, never finished!)
Empty DW
Wipe down surfaces in kitchen

Hugs, sticks & spoons to those that need them. Narco I hope you and Mr N are feeling better.
Valli When is DD doing her run? I hope I am not too late! Hugs to you x
Round sending you a hug - just because you make me smile x

Hi GI

I think it's in July...yes - 10th

Thanks Fayolle and a Flylady I can't put a flyname to whose initials are MH - that you GI?

roundtuit

Aww thank you GI - your hug is greatly appreciated 🤗  And I am always interested to read what you have been doing / what you plan to do 🙂. 

Sweetie's cage has been cleaned out and scrubbed. Seed pots and water pot emptied, washed, dried, and refilled. He is now inspecting my handiwork. He does make me laugh. Ooops I obviously didn't place the cuttlefish in the right place... he's put it right. 

My head is still banging so I'm doing notalot now. I'm very good at it. 

Love to all 
Rxx

Yes, that's me 😁

I have made a little progress and the following are done:
Emptied DW
Restacked DW
Wiped down kitchen surfaces, hob & small appliances.
Checked emails
Cleaned downstairs toilet & basin
Coloured some chickpeas red & dried them
Blue chickpeas are drying in a warm oven - just the white ones to do now.
Spoken to my mum

I haven't ventured into the garden to sow the seeds as it is still raining! I think I will sit and do some crochet & maybe a little admin. DH is about to start dinner,so the kitchen won't stay clean for long 🤦‍♀️

trotted to shop and bought oven bulbs.. they do not grow oven flowers!
Collected my wool bargains from the wool shop.. having a big sale for their 40th birthday so I took advantage.. nw \i need to knit 1000 things..

washed Meems duvet a certain curly tailed furry pest and no doubt a brainless black and white furry idiot have both widdled on!.. ther pillows and sheets can go in next..

GI.. We have 3 garden waste bins and they are all full to the top and we filled the car to do a tip run yesterday.. the garden is much emptier! That pregnancy has flown by. My oldest daughter is 5ft 1 and had a 10lber before the due date.. she could barely walk.. I have an ace pic of me a couple of weeks before I had Tiddles and I looked like a barge and she was 4 weeks early! lol.. I hope all goes well whenever tiny decides to make an appearance.  How goes the knitting??

I need to close some browser tabs and start dinner, do pack ups and hang out the wet duvet.. load the DW and reclean the table.. Squeak has been rock painting!

Pigpen I finished the shawl & little cardi. That is a big achievement for me! 😂 I have been enjoying the creative process though. DD1 asked for the mobile. So far I have done 2 little dinosaurs, and started the 3rd. They are a bit fiddly, but look cute. I will try and do a pic....

Goodintentions

Did that work? (New phone!!😂)
