Morning all, No paid stuff today so I need to try and get myself and the house organised to some extent. It is sunny here but very frosty.
My list for today
Get a shower and get dressed
Feed the animals
Sort through Mr T delivery, scan, and put away tidily until needed.
Submit the shopping information to scanning group.
Collect DS from his drama group
Take DD & DS to the ponies
Collect DD & DS from the ponies
Speak to DH regarding work commitments
Organise uni stuff for next week
Do 2 loads of laundry
Organise the diary for the next 4 weeks and send emails where required (this is probably one of the important tasks today as discovered last night I had myself being in 3 locations at the same time on a couple of days)
Wash up the dishes, dry and put away
Put stuff on the free group that is no longer required, if nobody wants it by the middle of the week it will be going in the bin.
Have some time with DH as it's been a very busy week
I think that is more than enough to tackle today. hope everyone has a good Saturday.

Fayolle, I know what you mean about the anxiety! Mine can be dreadful, and I do a lot of mental rehersing before interactions to try to manage it.
So far: dealt with people due to collect things from me today, WUDUPA, brought down all washing, gor on the weighing scales (down this week, thankfully), WMx1. Luckily I've been so on it this week that things like vacuuming and deep cleans can all go on the back burner until the post-weekend reset when the menfolk are out again.
To do: get these things picked up and gone from my house, drying clothes, some folding and putting away. Apart from that, take it easy as I might have walking pneumonia (the family I visited last weekend all have it, and I have the same sort of cough!)
Have a good day folksMarried 40y.o. mum of an autistic 11y.o. Carer/SAHM.
