Hi all
You have all been busy! Yesterday was a 10 hour day at the paid stuff but I managed to get our bedding washed and put the sheets over the airer. There is a small pile of clean washing to put away, I will take it upstairs in a minute.
Yoga class tonight, I have made and eaten risotto, emptied the DW and made overnight oats for morning. Cup of tea then time to get changed.9 -

Evening,
Paid day today so be I don’t get in until 6 then I absolutely have to sit down with a cuppa before I think about dinner. Just 2 of us tonight, DD will probably order in or not eat anything but cake or chocolate.So just finishing dinner then I need to clear away and also empty the DW from who knows when. Then I have my 2 bags of washing DH to take upstairs and put away, along with the 2 baskets in the bedroom that need putting away too.I also need to do some shoving around of finances as builder is coming in the morning so I need to find the cash for him. Oh darn he also needs the bathroom cabinets emptied so that he can put one of the access plates on that for whatever reason he didn’t do when he did the bathroom 🤷♀️.
Can it be done in 3 hours, only time will tell so 54321Mortgage, paid off!7 -

Morning all,
My list for today
Attend uni lecture
Catch up with phone calls
Take the dog for a long walk
Empty the living room bin
Do uni prep for tomorrow
Do paid stuff
Clear the clutter from the bottom of the bed
Take DD to the stables so she can check and feed her pony
Take DS to his drama group
I think that is everything that I need to tackle. I hope everyone has a lovely Wednesday.8 -
Morning all,
Terrible weather here yesterday too. Very strong wind and lashing rain. It is still raining and gusty this morning. Yesterday’s washing is still trying to dry indoors.
DH left early to go to the f&v market and to pick up a c&c order. I despatched him with a small bag for the cs in the hope that they will accept, plus a bag for the foodbank collection. I need to vacuum the bedroom floor once I have dried my hair and made the mess that always follows . Other jobs include HHI and have another look at reducing what is currently stacked on the LR bookcase before it can be moved. One part of a shelf at a time.8 -
Morning all
Another blooming rotten night of no sleep, combination of painful hip and 1,001 things swirling around in my head 😟😫🥱. It's bathroom day for me so will do what I can. Weather is horrible wind & rain together so WM is swishing with stuff which can be TDd. Will do a 2nd load and S&S the kitchen, that'll be it I think.

Morning all. Coffee time here - company welcome!

This morning I have
- S&S'd kitchen and bathroom
- PUPA all round the house
- hoovered the LR
- made my bed
- done the fridge and freezer inventory: I have 8 hm ready meals plus meat/fish for 5 more, so that will easily take us beyond the end of this month - however, I need more milk and f&v so will have to go out later today or tomorrow
- moved the last of the spare packets of pasta/rice/noodles down from high shelf level 3 into the back of the larder cupboard, behind the very large plastic box which (without its lid) acts like a drawer
- checked the top shelf (small baking items) and thrown out two packs of roll-out icing which will be ood by next Christmas, and if I leave them in the cupboard I shall be tempted to snack on them!
- checked that my opening deposit has landed in my new regular saver (it has) and filed the paperwork
- rung a different bank about an account which I had set up for DGS2, as he turned 16 on Monday and can now look after the money himself - it's intended to be added to long-term savings or put towards a training course or travel.
Now I've finished my coffee, I can get back to photo sorting

Morning all. I've joined you Iona.
This morning I've done paid stuff, dailies, dog walk and hoovered through house.Spend less now, work less later.9 -
Morning all (just as I start typing). Cold wet and windy here. One washload done and mostly dry, two shirts just finishing off on the airer. I could vacuum the bedrooms but to be honest I'd be doing it out of guilt not because they really need doing.Shopping delivered this morning and all sorted out and put away. DS has a hospital appointment right now which I'm fretting over so I hope I hear something soon. Not life threatening but could make life difficult.Picking up DGD4 from school this afternoon and bringing her back here for tea.Hope everyone's OK x7
