Well done to Valli's DD. Morning everyone.
The last few days have been paid stuff, seeing DGD2 who is a little poorly, cleaning up after workmen, keeping on top of dailies and I did manage to sort the drawers on one bedside table.
Today I am on my own. I plan to do dailies, dog walk and bath dog. Then I'm going to focus on tidying the garden and completing my seed master plan for next year.
Have a great day everyone.Spend less now, work less later.7 -
Morning all xx
Well done to Valli's DD 👏👏
I'm up, made my bed and I'm having a brew.
To Do Today
Get dressed
Feed the birds
Put out the recycling
Put the dry pots away!!!!
Sort the laundry
Sweetie's seed and water
P & S are calling for coffee this morning and they can take their .... oh my, I can't remember what they're called: calendars with chocolate in that have a flap to open each day in December. They go into town regularly so I'm wondering if they'd mind taking the two bags of books to cs for me.
Felt like a fraud yesterday but BD is back today. 🐢🐢🐢
Baby steps.
Love to all

Make a list of birthday and Christmas cards / presents that I still need to get.
Write December birthday cards and put posting dates on calendar
Write Christmas cards
Get cs donations out of the house
27th - pick up my prescription
Oh, month end, pay C Tax on Monday.
Pay rent
Just for the record: I've watched 2 World Cup football matches and no-one has scored a goal yet. Maybe I'm a jinx 🤔

I've made the list of birthday and Christmas cards and presents that I need to buy.
Second load has just stopped swishing and will be given an extra spin then draped on the airer.
P & S have been, and left with their Advent (that's the word) calendars; 5 notebooks which were designated for cs or work - S mentioned she needed a notebook 😉; and they've taken the two bags of books for the cs and will deliver them the next time they go to town.

Hello again. I have done dailies, walked Poppet, sewn a button on some trousers, changed sofa and cushion covers so WM is whirring and I spent an hour and a half tidying one side of the back garden. I've stopped for today as the green bin is full.
I'm not sure I want to sit in front of a computer doing my seed plan so when I've had lunch, I'll bath Poppet then flutter a bit.Spend less now, work less later.7 -
Bong, wanders in, sits down.......................First hugs to all those that need them and any one else who wants one.Large toad has been smashed to pieces with a sledge hammer, leaving about 5 small tadpoles behind, and plan is made to sort them out over the next few weeks, took a lot of shress, visits to banks etc blah blah blah, it took me 2 weeks but it is done, yip yip yip. Lets hope the plan for the tadpoles stays and does not fall apart.So since being back approx 9am, I've hoovered, unpacked, WM, wet stuff out on line to dry, fed birds, fed cats, who were delighted to see me!
, taken OH shopping, as it seems his idea of feeding himself is pizza / chilli / biscuits, so that is also sorted, packed car ready for a fayre I'm doing tomorrow, eaten.

Hi all
Full day at the paid stuff, very stressful, but our event went really well. Crisps and Baileys now.
We have a free ticket to a local National Trust place which expires at the end of the month so might try and persuade DH to use that tomorrow.
Think I need a Pigpen list, I must book the car in for MOT and service, need to book chimney sweep and think about Christmas shopping.4
