     Happy Birthday Granny Kate. xxx

    Soontobeoap, yay to a finish line being in sight. I bet you will miss the hustle and bustle when you are all sorted out. I know I do!

     DD1 is coming, for lunch, a run and to see her Grandma. She is going to take the curtains down for me, only 2 rooms and clean the oven. The oven isn't a state as we rarely use it but I want to leave the place nice for the new people.

     Better hobble off. Vx

    Morning all. 

    My nephew is here fixing my back gate and some of the monoblocking that was brought up when he put the fence in. Council have been moaning about it and said they're gonna charge me to fix it because someone complained. 

    Feel like they're just saying that though cos I know my neighbours would just moan AT ME. 

    I've been pottering about the house sorting stuff out while he's out there so the place is looking pretty good! I've kept my living room and bedroom clean for a WEEK and I swear that might seem like nothing to most but for ADHD me that is a MIRACLE let me tell you.

    1. Write a daily To Do list - only 3 tasks
    2. Concerted effort to sort out sleep patterns - Realistic targets: bed by 2:00 a.m. & up by 10:00 a.m 
    3. Continue dealing with mail & email on a daily basis
    4. Don’t put it down, put it away + deal with mini tasks as soon as they are noticed e.g. refill olive oil pourer or salt cellar, stitch up a hole in a garment etc
    5. Commence ‘Operation Frog Tickling’ using the acronym - I.R.I.S. (Identify, Research, Implement, Sign Off) - One per quarter
    6. Continue to keep kitchen clean & tidy - before going to bed

    🙊 here is yesterday’s post: Friday - forgot to say I wrote a shopping list last night. I was awake at 09:30 but dozed until 10:15, had a shortish bath (45m) & washed my hair. The forecast was for a high of 27°C, low 16°C & mostly sunny with a light breeze. Left for dentist 12:15 got back 16:45. The hygienist made a good job of cleaning my teeth 😊 The appointment with the dentist was spent discussing getting bridges + due to receding gums also getting top 4 front teeth ‘filled’ up to the gum line i.e. covering the visible roots of my teeth. Now contemplating when to get this done - “filling” first with a different dentist then the 2 bridges 🧐 It will be expensive but worth it ……… I hope 🤞
