Hi FlowerPot, honestly, you don't need to worry, we all have days/weeks/months where we aren't so productive!
ASB well done! That's a big saving
Today I have already:
S&S bathroom and kitchen, cleaned bath and shower, made beds, tidied rooms, WMx1, clothes on line, WUDUPA, checked fish tank water chemicals and topped up, been to Craft Club and gave them stuff I won't use, walked to Mr T and gotten some shopping done, two emails sent to chase up school transport phone call from pharmacy about Junior Flamingo's melatonin.
To do:
Wash in and away
Full vac
Mop all hard floors
Ironing
Declutter somewhere (maybe shoe cupboard, JF's toys, or TV unit)
15 mins in gardenMarried 40y.o. mum of an autistic 11y.o. Carer/SAHM.

All jobs done from my to do list. Welcome to Flowerpot, and I am happy all of the offspring made it to school, Piggers.
I will collect DD at 5.30, nip into the supermarket at the same time (prime yellow sticker 90% reduction time in our supermarket so worth a quick stop) then home for spag bol. Early to bed for me then, I am really tired and my body is catching up. Off to update my budget spreadsheet with amended figures to reflect earlier internet win.

No motivation today at all
Wondering if this plus feeling sick is linked to increase in medication last week
I did do some dusting in our room and changed my bed while the dog jumped about on it
Few other bits done as and when I could be bothered so just washing to fold out of dryer plus feed everyone and then wash up to do6 -
I'm so sorry I haven't been contributing for at least two if not three weeks. Things have been hectic and I've been all over the place. Suffice it to say I have just about managed to clear the laundry backlog and flashed the vacuum cleaner over the worst of the carpet where lodgers can see it, but other than that there has been zero Flying. I hope to be back now, but I haven't caught up with Fred.Huge thank you to my Secret Santa. I'm using it daily and I absolutely love it.Thank you to all Flyladies who sent Christmas cards, together with the little gifts. They all made me smile.Better is good enough.9

The meal out was very nice, if a little expensive. One starter between us and two mains. £78! And we only drank water. Maybe this is normal price. Last time we went, just two of us, to a restaurant was over twenty years ago. We have been to the chip shop, but I don't think that counts.pigpen said:Jazee said:Morning all.
I was in the WAC but only because Poppet was. I had horlicks. Why does it not taste like it used to years ago?
because it used to have 58% barley/24% wheat and lots of sugar and now has 41% wheat/31% barley and has palm oil and no sugar. I could never stand the stuff.. definitely a cocoa girl.
I've never liked it either, or Ovaltine, but I like it even less now I know that it has palm oil in it.

Welcome @~FlowerPot~Well done @Asparklierblonde that's a really good saving. You've reminded me I must chase up my ISP. When I changed to them about 18 months ago they had an offer whereby if you referred someone and they digned up too you both got a £50 Amazon gift card. Well I did, and they did, but neither of us has ever had the gift card. I did contact them about it before Christmas and after a bit of jumping through hoops they sent me an email saying they were looking into it but I've heard no more.This morning I walked to the shops at the end of the road to get another of the card I bought yesterday but they had no more left Grrrr. I bought a few buts at other shops and came home. By this time it was time to make lunch and then wash up. A grocers delivery arrived but the intercom wasn't working so I had to go down and let him in. After putting the things away I packed up a magazine to post to my friend in Manchester for her father and took it to the PO. When I came back I put some washing on that I had got ready but then forgotten about. I made tea and am now about to wash up the tea things. I must have done a whole lot of other things as I haven't stopped all day but I can't remember what they are.

hey-hey CoG.. you sussed the multi-quotes!! Palm oil is the killer of orangumonkeys.. and I have a wheat and milk allergy on top of having an eating disorder.. so Horlicks is not on the list of acceptable foods, cocoa is ok though.
i haven't lifted a finger today but I have read half a book! This is why I don't read.. I don't do another thing!!
I do have pack ups to do and dinner.. OH finishes work in 20 minutes so I will crack on then.

I do have pack ups to do and dinner.. OH finishes work in 20 minutes so I will crack on then.Sometimes it seems to work and others not - or probably it's just me.I believe that even the supposedly sustainable palm oil often isn't so I try to avoid it.I remembered another thing I did earlier. I packed up a pair of trousers I'd bought online before Christmas and took them to the post office. I want to exchange them as they are a bit too big and I think, in any event, I'd like a different colour.A flurry of activity in the last 45 mins. I washed up the tea things, put on a second load of washing and put together a lamb casserole which is now in the oven. As it's now dark I've got to bring in the two amaryllises which have been sunbathing all afternoon on the landing and can then perhaps have an hour before it's time to start preparing the veg to go with the casserole. Oh, and we're overdue for eye drops - again!8
