Goodintentions

Good evening 😁
New TV is up on the wall 👍I cleaned behind the fireplace before it went up 😁 This leaves a free surface on the sideboard, which looks nice. I have moved some ornaments & plants about.
Paid stuff today. I took 2 boys (2 & 7) for a long walk on a long pier 😁 We got the train back and the little one fell asleep on the way home. No work tomorrow so I have a 4 day weekend (whoop!). I have booked a hair appointment for tomorrow as it is long overdue! 
I will make a list in the morning.
Hugs to those that need them, esp HB & Natty. Night night all x

Good morning ladies

Hugs and positive vibes all round. Usual morning so far here - animals fed, DS up and watching TV, DD asleep, I’ve brought a cuppa back to bed and contemplating my day. DD at a sleepover from lunchtime onwards, and i need to run a
few errands. There are eggs to deliver in the village and I must drop a bag of stuff into the charity shop. 

First of all it’s a quick strip wash for me and another cuppa. Take care lovelies xx

Good morning all xx 

4 day weekend here too. Just needed a breather after another intense few days at the paid stuff.

So instead of logging on at my desk I am sat in my nightie. I'm up as I wake up at the same time whether it's a day off or not. I've made my bed, savoured my first brew, and read a while. 
Going to have breakfast and a second brew then ..... who knows? I'll have a think.

Sending love to you all ❤

Good morning!
I have looked at my long list - I need to break it down a bit to manageable chunks! I am currently sitting in bed with the kitten asleep on me 🥰 but I need to get moving. I have done the Friday money juggle, but need to get up and at it! Time for a little list...
Round 1
Get up, showered & dressed
Breakfast
Make bed
Feed kitten (I will probably do this first, so she doesn't trip me up!)
Empty DW 
Put on WM

Okay - let's get going! 😁

Boiler dude rang at 7:38 to tell me he is coming between 1 & 3 ... so now I have been up since then.. everyone else is asleep (3 smalls at dil's.. they won't be asleep!)

I am dressed so going to make a cuppa, shuffle some washing, load the DW and wait for the WM and boiler dude and whatever other exciting stuff today throws at me.

I WAS going to see if I could get a drs appointment but it seems really pointless.. They don't do face-to-face and never call for telephone appointments.. plus they don't give a time for a phone appointment.. why is that? Why do they think we are so insignificant that we can just wait around for 12 hours until they can be bothered to ring.. and then they only ring when you have called to ask why they haven't.. I hate unreliable, disrespectful attitudes like this.. they just have an attitude of entitlement.

Anyway.. the kettle is calling me and the cats are visibly fading away as I type..

I might see if I can fit in some knitting while it is peaceful

Goodintentions

All done except DW, and I am eating breakfast now. I will do a new list...

That will take me to lunchtime 😋

Washing out

Broken machine out

Now the old freezer (I do have 2 of those too) is screaming at me.. I've had it about 17 years so for us it is doing great.. my mother got the same model at the same time and hers died several years ago so its doing ok.. I am still saving for it's replacement so it can just hang on a bit longer!

DW emptied and maggot bin out.. I will go reload that now.

Mogs fed

and cuppa number 2 & 3 will be constructed.. one for now and one to take upstairs while I sort laundry into the relevant cupboards.

Sunflower wrist bands ordered for Dot.. she will eat them but they will be kept just for when we take her out.
Small amount paid off next holiday and credit added.. Yay!

Goodintentions

I am now sitting in the hairdressers. WU not done yet as I ran out of time.
It took longer to hang out the washing as the kitten got out the cat flap. She was exploring, but disappeared down the side of the shed! When she came out she was all puffed up. I put her inside & locked the catflap, but she slipped past me as I went out again - twice! She is fast!! I finally got her in, so hopefully she will sleep now.
Time for pampering & me-time now 😁

DW done .. just leaving it to cool down

WM on .. still waiting for new one..

Measured up fridge/freezer space.. to write it in my 'house book'

I got dressed, went to see Pops, came home and ate lunch.

I'm now hovering between I have an unexpected day off, I ought to do something; and I have an unexpected day off, I ought to not do anything.

I've been thinking about my masterplan. I know where I want to be in 3 years  - and I think I can get there in around 18 months, and then enjoy being there and staying there. Or explore new horizons. But I don't know how to get the steps down on paper. And I'm afraid that if I don't I'll continue to fanny around and not get anywhere. Jazee can you help me please? 

Well. Today I can take a few baby steps towards the goal of a tidy uncluttered house - fit to invite a flylady to visit. (Maybe that's the key - just do what's in front of you. But that's too random. I need a structure and a plan.)

Round 1
Feed the birds
Put out the recycling
WUDUPA
