    Morning ladies

    In a rush - and a tad late - but have been flying

    :cool: ORF ops - buster awake - if you're lucky, you might see my gardener this morning probably between 11 and 12 :cool:

    Catch you all later - have a comm meeting here at mine tonight so it probably won't be until after tha.

    Morning All.

    So far I have washed up brekkie stuff and put last nights empties in the recycling.
    Checked my bank balance £5.94 of my overdraft left until Tuesday ..woo hoo!

    Overcast her today..I hate grey days.

    Going to shimmy the twins along and pack them off to school.

    Need to get some baking done before I go back to work next week.
    Twins, twice the laughs, twice the fun, twice the mess!:j:j

    Needs to be a productive day today. My new fridge/freezer is going to be delivered this morning and then this afternoon I need to go out looking at paint and worksurfaces. Whilst out I want to also look for wicker baskets for my utility/pantry area. And in between I need to do some general clearing up, washing and marking GCSE coursework
    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    I do love Trinny and Susannah. DD is a vase and I am an hourglass. Did you get any thoughts on what to wear?

    I'm apparently a vase as well :rolleyes::rotfl::rotfl: (although at times I think I'm more hourglass, but feel like a cello! :rotfl: ) What I do is go through all their recommendations and add them to the shopping basket always picking the same size and colour, then I go to the basket and anything that appears more than once I save the image and use it as a reference for when I go shopping. ;) I will admit that until I looked at that site I was a bit dubious about whether some things would suit me, but I've bought items that I wouldn't usually buy that they suggest and I actually like the look :D Now if I just had the money to go and buy more of them I would be very happy :rotfl::rotfl:

    Right, plan of action for today with non-essentials left until tomorrow,
    • Dailies
      • Beds - today I discover if I can make DD's new bed or not :rotfl:
      • Bathroom S&S
      • Dishes
      • Kitchen S&S
      • DD - reading book
      • Finances
      • Uniform etc out for tomorrow (check)
      • Tea
    • Fill in finance form for OU course
    • Write letter to MC about ex's card being destroyed. :D;)
    • Asda shop - for card, pressie, bodyspray (not available online:confused: ) & A4 envelopes.
    • Ebay listings
    • MURDER DD as she's not with it and getting all confused again today. :rolleyes:
    Right, DD's hair and then school run & Asda shop. :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Morning everyone,
    younger 2 have just left for school. Older 2 are still in bed but once they are up and with it I'm going to get them helping me with the list. I've got the whole 4 days to get through, so it might take us tomorrow as well.

    I've got the stuff from their rooms that they no longer want on my bed, so I think my first task is to sort through that and see what I can list on ebay.

    My eating has been appalling..I've lost 7lbs so far, but I've cancelled going to this mornings weigh in. I need to get some fruit & veg in and meal plan, so I'm going to have to take a trip to Tescos today at some point too.

    Right, I'm going to get some cereal, make another cuppa and go and start sorting out!

    It's due to be sunny so he might take his top off :rotfl:

    Last two mornings I have come down to find the head of a mouse plus it's stomach in my family room. I am assuming the cats are taking part in some sort of spring ritual (or simply do not like the cruch of the head and taste of the stomach:confused: )

    For those of you who have spluttered over your clean keyboard sorry:o

    Sorry morning all

    It's really warm here, still overcast but the promise of sunshine.

    Bed stripped so will start it washing and head to the shower. Need to go to Lidl (grass carpet and aloe vera plants to get!) and morrisons with DS3 and then hope to get some outside jobs off the list. Our bedroom will only need a quick hoover and wipe as I did it thoroughly last week.
