    Dinner cooking - not sure how having it at 4:30 will suit anybody but we will see. Not looking forward to swimming after and doubt DS3 will be either, it could have been a bad idea - it could be the only time we go if I feel the need to change it.

    Back much later.

    Taurus have you done the passport form?

    Hiya
    Embb - yes it's my DSs birthday tomorrow. We're going to see HSM on ice - a christmas present for both children as they both love it.

    I'm very happy. I've been accepted as a volunteer at our local hospice to do reflexology, massage etc. They're going to call me for an induction. I've wanted to do it for ages but the time just feels right now.

    My two are at my mums for tea so i've got an hour before I pick them up. I'm putting my feet up!

    AnW'smum - I wouldn't improve if I was you as i'm sure i'll be back to normal tomorrow however hard I try to hold on to all this motivation that I stole!

    back.. I did about an hour.. but..

    wiped dado, skirtings, stair treads, hand rail and grandfather clock
    cleared and wiped the work surfaces in the kitchen
    cut DS1's head nest.. he looked like he was wearing a furry helmet!
    wiped doors downstairs
    damp dusted in the front room
    cleaned the sink
    shined the taps
    reloaded the DW
    washed the drawers from the WM's and the oven trays
    wiped the underside of the wall units in the kitchen..

    Now I am STARVING.. so thinking what we can eat for dinner and I'll sort the mountain of washing and get that put away while it cooks!

    I need to put the BM on too for the morning.

    Taurus you done great on your challenges, hmmmmm maybe ice-cream for pudding? tinned fruit? that's nice and easy.

    Right teenies gone out with his mates, littleys watching the suite life so I've popped on here for a bit whilst the pressure cooker with the veg in does it's thing.

    Oddly enough I was writing a training session on motivation this morning. Would you all like it back now?
