MinnieMousesMummy

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 folks

Me again 😊

I have made all the beds, put a load of washing on, scrubbed the bathroom within an inch of its life, and lit both the kitchen and living room fires. Lady has collected an item I sold on FB marketplace so I can use that money to put petrol in the car. 

Kids doing scratch art & lego. I’m making a cuppa if anyone wants one xx

morning, well it feels like morning still, but i can see its now lunch time.

Not managed much yet but have tidied up some wood in the garden. DH taught DS2 how to use my chain saw and I helped him sort the wood and feed it to him. He did very well using it. I just havent got the energy at the moment and DH isnt allowed to do anything active due to his eye issue. so we are very greateful DS2 is motivated to help!!!

long way to go mind and i need to find more places to store the wood as two trees were cut down end of last year.

Washing thats dry has been folded and more moved around the airers.

Small list for this afters

clean up kitchen

take bins out

get more firewood in light fire

hoover lounge, yep still not done this!

fill up bag for CS

work out whats for tea!!! (and go and get it!)
