Morning all
utterly horrible dream last night… so pleased I woke up and came out of it *shudder*
DW and WM x 1
Off to the paid stuff today. After work i need to shop for tomorrow’s tea which I have rashly invited my sister and friends to pre Peter Kay. Given sis has to travel up from Derby and another friend will have been at work it takes the pressure off them. Im planning veggie lasagne as the other friend is veggie, with salad and garlic bread…writing down so I don’t forget. Might make lemon drizzle cake. If i make two i can take one to the aged ps. *adds lemons to list*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
Thank you Honey Bear9 -
pigpen said:STAAAARVING... I am supposed to be going out to eat for my sisters 40th birthday.. but not until 7pm!!!
I need to feed the girls and get myself ready.. it is cold and wet and dark and I'd much rather stay home with my knitting!
I should actually be home from work sharp today so the plan is:
Get a load of laundry on - done
HHI - done
General hoover upstairs and tidy - done
Wash dishes sat in the kitchen sink
Do an hour of development work for work
Then maybe do a wee bit of crochet if I get the chance, it always feels really calming.9 -
Morning everyone
It's dark, v. wet and miserable weather-wise here today (we have a yellow warning for rain until 11am) so I probably won't fly much unless the sun comes out.
I will go out and forage for tomatoes and jam later though. Just the sort of day to make scones and then scoff them!I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

Morning all.
DH and me are both at home today. I've already done dailies and dog walk. We had planned to finish Xmas shopping but roads are flooded round here and I don't want to spend the day sitting in traffic. So I've ordered the last of our gifts on line and plan to do knitting instead.
Have a great day everyone.Spend less now, work less later.9 -
Good morning. Hope everyone is well today.
My list for today
Get dressed
Feed the animals
Do paid stuff
Put through expenses for work-related travel.
Do some reading for uni
Check fire alarms are working.
Unpack stuff from overnight work trip
Dust surfaces in the bedroom
Clean the inside of the bedroom windows
Remind DH to order heating oil.
From Earlier This Week
Tidy the pile of uni work that is sitting in the corner of the living room.
Do preventative treatment for the cat
Make a start on ordering festive food (Note to self - this really needs to get done as running out of time)

Hugs to those who need/want them. Hope everyone has a good Thursday.

Kept up with basic stuff and told myself to do extras when I can be bothered...which meant I was scrubbing kitchen floor one evening while cooking tea which was weird 😀
Spilt an egg inside the fridge and realised some bits on the inside of the door come off.....12 years I've had that fridge
I've scrubbed hallway floor, been dentist, had hair cut, started Christmas shopping, long phone call with school, chased up an appointment and made one next week for me, feel like I've not stopped this week but all I can see I'd stuff not done 😕11 -
Swooping in on a tea break from entering and cross-checking accounts data for a solid 5 hours! Brain was starting to shut down, so a wander round out in the airfield soon woke me up - brass monkeys!!!
DH left work early and will be taking Small and Tiny to footie training, so no need to rush home...might call in at Tesco on the way home for some supplies...might not, I'll see if I CBA at 5pm.
Bags of shizzle flung into work skip and permission given to put as much in them as I want by Big Boss, so that's great news as the local tip won't let me in with my Transit van, even though the back is kitted out with dog cages and clearly I'm not a builder or commercial gardener...sigh...rules is rules, I s'pose.
Hoping today is going well for all the Flyladies x9 -
Squeak got on the bus.. got to school.. did not set foot in a single lesson and we had to pick her up.
OH logged into work. the colleagues were talking about christmas.. it finally (5 months later) hit him his mother died.. he didn't stay logged in. I knew it was coming, it does not make it easier.School wanted to know why the girls aren't in.. number of excuses given.. the truth.. I am in too much pain to pick them up.OH now doing DWI have taken migraine meds and broken bone meds and rennies because my insides are on fire.DD1 has been here most of the day for the second day running.. I've had a nap..
Between us all we have done the sum total of absolutely nothing..
Best go do dinner, pack ups and dangle some laundry before I have to wash it all again before OH stages a revolt and doesn't go to work tomorrow either.LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)10 -
Been to work....offered to go to different class due to staff illness, had a nice morning. French in the afternoon, all good
Those at the top still showing no consistancy ......I was not involved in the situations, so kept my beak out!!
Stupid wet Friday tomorrow morning, then I'm off for a funeral in the PM.
I came home, polished and hoovered, put dry clothes away and put another load of washing on and did a small floor clearance start in main room of doom x
Hope all are well, PigPen extra hugs on their way xxxx
More hugs for everyone else too x9
