I can't believe I'm losing a step challenge to someone with a sprained ankle
Well done on getting so much done.5 -
I can stand on it today, and squeeze it into my widest clunkiest walking boots. I am sure the 10k steps I am currently on will help me to squeeze it into some footwear tomorrow.
need to (do or delegate) before I give up:
Hoover stairs, halls and Snug.
Make the spare bed (dehumidifier running in there currently)
make chicken chorizo chickpea as promised
tidy and clean the kitchen and mop the floor before bed
try and work out why the cloakroom hot tap is spinning like it's possessed if you try and use it
bins out
Work out what I am wearing and put the right card in my small purse for the wake bill plus cash for tip etc. cry when nothing fits and I can't get any remotely attractive shoes on.Find all of my shiny birthday diamonds which I hid somewhere safe a while ago. They at least can look fabulous.Take all of the tablets before bedtime and try to do something about my nails and maybe a face mask. Try not to be awake anywhere between 1 and 5.

I bought a black linen dress a few weeks back - should be quite forgiving. Mid length and capped sleeves. Picked up some 300 denier tights this morning. I have a pretty black scarf with little swans on and a small black leather bag that I bought a few weeks before my job went. I have some very lovely diamonds thanks to Mr Redo. And some nice black suede fur lined Sorel boots that will be ok in a field IF I can get my stupid ankle to bend enough. Black cashmere fingerless gloves, obviously.And my nice warm fur lined soft shell waterproof black jacket. It is a field on October after all.
Please fit dress and boots. Please!My mortgage free diary: +++ Divide by Cucumber Error. Please reinstall universe and reboot+++

fitting vibes for dress and boots being sentMade it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!3 -
Hope everything fits.
Also that the cats get the memo about no muddy footprints/dismembered bodies on the clean floors. Or beds.4 -
