Morning all!
I really need to do more and I really need to post which I hope will make me do more 😔
MONDAY- I had my grandson and as DD2 wasn't able to come over all the playing was down to me and because he knows he goes to nanny's to play you don't get a break 😂
We did go to see great nana and grandad though.
TUESDAY- unloaded the airer
Walked to my parents then to Mr A and back again
I put a wash on and put that on the airer once finished
Put DW on and the WM on a cleaning wash
I made a batch of soup for the freezer and DW back on
I also started a food shop list for payday
WEDNESDAY- food preped and slowcooker on
The builders next door started banging and crashing at 7.40 😒 so I had an extra coffee
Another batch of soup on cooking and Dw on.
I'm now rejigging my meal plan and having another coffee (decaf)

So it seems it is Wednesday. Not a scooby what I did yesterday, and I thought today was Thursday. There you go…
I accompanied DH to the market this morning. The f&v shop plus a fly by in Mr W for a loaf means that I can postpone a Mr M shop until next week. There was a cunning plan - I needed thread, many threads to be precise, for sewing projects where I already have the fabric (oops 😳), and the haberdashery shop in small town obliged. This afternoon I have been wafting outside, looking for the shade as it is twot.
ETA - just got cleaning cloths off the airer - now I remember what I did yesterday! Changed bedding, wm, HHI, s&s bathroom, vacuum bedroom. Phew!6 -

You all have so much energy, I'm very envious.
I often have zero energy and can't do much at all. I spent most of yesterday resting which is why I don't post every day any more.
Today's been a better day than yesterday so I washed the kitchen floor, vacuumed the middle layer around the furniture, had a shower and washed my hair, cleaned the bathroom, walked the dog and dealt with something online, made some hummus so I can take some to snack on tomorrow while I'm volunteering and spent three hours moving plants and pots around, and potted up some tomato plants, lobelia and geraniums. My back knows I've done all of that too.Tomorrow will be another rest day after I've done the voluntary work, and I very much doubt I'll be there at the crack of o'sparrow's fart.Better is good enough.7 -

Evening everyone.
Today I have
- done the usual S&S dailies
- FUPA clean sheets
- decluttered a group meeting
- done a mini-shop at MrT for half a dozen things that I can't get anywhere else locally, except at higher prices
- done WMx3, hung out everything except socks on the whirlygig, brought in when dry, and FUPA
- finished off the postcard album with title pages and added it to the archive store
- weeded (selectively!) the whole length of the orphan "wildflower border" alongside the shared drive - one of our neighbours stopped to say how much she and her husband enjoy seeing the flowers, rather than the dreary length of our neighbours' garden fence, which makes it all worthwhile
- sat watching Kirstie and Phil all evening because they make me smile
Off to practise my Italian next. I've just totted up 250 consecutive days of language learning: I started with Spanish, then moved onto Italian later because of our upcoming holiday, and it's not only enjoyable but also good for my brain.
G'night all.
