Now for a bag... I have a maroon one but I think it's the wrong sort of maroon and perhaps a bit too sensible for a wedding... will need to look in daylight. Meanwhile I've been browsing Vinted (again).
Today turned out to be productive. I started out on the right foot by getting dressed straight away, which really helped. I've done two loads of washing and the start of the ironing, some bits of cleaning and baked some little cakes for DH to take to the quiz tonight as I knew he was a bit overloaded with things to do and he still has a cold.
All that meant I was pushed for time, but I fitted in half an hour's hoovering at church and just about got round the areas I missed yesterday. I'd forgotten they would be setting up for the women's conference tomorrow, so I was hoovering around tables. I could have gone to this but a whole day with people and no one in particular to go with sounds very tiring to me. Mind you, I've been to some excellent ones in the past.
I'd learned from past experience that going home between church cleaning and work is a bit much, so I took my work uniform with me and went straight from one to the other. I was quite tired when I finished but I had my overnight oats ready. Lunch had been a curry from the freezer, so I had plenty of energy to get me through to that point. So all in all I'm happy with how it went. Nothing more spent.
And the list:
Pay the window cleaner - not done
Collect jacket - not done
Leave feedback for items received - not done
Put mixed wash onto the line - done
Put hot wash into the machine - done
Pot up one of the houseplants - not done
Finish church hoovering - done
