Full day at the paid stuff and walked each way in the sunshine (1.7 miles each way).

got to work for 9am this morning so managed to do a fair bit before my radio appt.
pegged out washing. have now got work washing but forecast is good.
after radio managed to go to town to c@rd factory for all April and May, s@vers for bargains but no parazone for cistern still *sigh* then curry’s for new laptop bag then m&s for tea and treats. DD vacuumed, cleaned out bunnies and washed her car…serious procrastinating as she has an assignment.Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016

Morning all. Hope it's sunny where you are, it's beautiful here.
So far today I have walked Poppet, changed bedding, dusted flat surfaces in bedroom, got rid of condensation with window vac and got washing machine whirring.
Have a great day everyone.Spend less now, work less later.8 -
Good morning all,
Welcome back, Kazm!Up earlyish for a non work day, the sun is shining and the bonus is that I don’t have to scrape my car to get to work. Little wins…
Bedding changed and is in the wm. It will go out on the line once it is done. Mr M is due to deliver later this morning, so I need to sort through the fridge again. There is a layer of dust everywhere and the vacuum cleaner needs to be reminded why I keep it in the house. The meal plan has gone to pot - DD and DH have announced which nights they are out and about.
This cold is still in full flow, but sleeping at night thanks to Mr V!cks. Trying had not to send it over the internet to YL.
Have a good day all. I’ll be back later to keep myself accountable.7 -

Great start to the day coming down to a clean kitchen, apart from a single mug that DD used for her coffee before she left for work. I breakfasted and washed up my stuff rather than just leaving it in the sink.Currently at the paid stuff but has asked DH to wash the bed linen and get it out as it is such a gorgeous, if cold day.Have meal planned for the week so will make curry from leftover roast chicken when I get home and will try not to sit down as the bedroom is one of the worst in the house. There is no pride in there as it never got finished by the builders all of 20 years ago ☹️ but I will make a start on improving it later today!Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!8

All three wash loads dried on line and put away. Bathrooms s&sd, fridge sorted and two of three freezers sorted. Exercise class done. Workmen still here.Spend less now, work less later.7

Washing dried outside, HHI done. Whole house dusted and vacuumed. When I say whole house, you do realise that it is only the bits that I can see and that are easily accessible without moving anything…
Mr M came bang on time, shopping sorted and put away, meal plan rejigged yet again. Bathrooms s&sd. Dw run and emptied. Looks quite productive when I write it like that.
Spent an hour in the greenhouse, but was weirdly unsettled, so just washed some pots up. Very strange.
DD dropped in small town for an evening out. I am nominated driver to pick her up. There is a method in my madness - she is going out for her friend’s birthday in big town next week, and I don’t want to do that pick up, so I got in early before DH twigged 😉.5
