Thank you all for your thoughts and kind wishes, means a lot xx

So the end of term finally arrived today - I didn't feel like hitting the pub with workmates afterwards, I just wanted to come home and chill for a bit. I have been and seen Mum for a bit and then decided to get the places straightish, ready to start on my bumper list tomorrow

I bought a nice "Things To Do" book from Home Bargains - it was only £2.99 and is a ring-bound book with pages and pages of blank lists, I love it In fact, I love it so much I've bought 3 of them so I can use them at work too.

I have given a page over to each room and will tick the Done column as soon as a task is completed, but, mainly for Pixie, I will recreate the entire list here for you. Please bear in mind that some of these tasks are bigger jobs, others are small menial tasks that never quite get done ...

Many of these are jobs that get done fairly regularly anyway, but it's always good to have it all written down. As well as this we will be doing ds bedroom. He has already removed most of the furniture and it has gone to the tip. He still needs to remove half a cupboard, his desk and a mattress (bed has already gone). Then he needs to rip out the carpet, paint the room, get a new carpet and get new bed / desk/ drawers. This will involve quite a few trips to the tip but most of the work will be done by him rather than me. 

The other bit that I have made a list for is my daily tasks, which are health related:

• 10,000 steps
• 2 litres water
• 100 x squats
• 5 x 1 minute planks
• Take supplements: Magnesium, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Folic Acid 

I am actually planning lots of rest and relaxing time too

Oh wow!!😆😆 That's a mammoth list and I have no doubt that you'll achieve it all! Thanks for posting - it motivates me to get my own written☺️
I finished school on Friday and haven't really done much so far. Last week was one of my most tiring ever at school - y6 is crazy😯
Looking forward to lots of summer updates - do lots of looking after yourself too😊
