    Unfortunately I have one of those 'to do' lists which doesn't seem to be going down that much. :confused:

    This is what I wrote this morning and how far I've got:
    • Washing - all done, dry and away. I've done four loads and put stuff away but only about half way!
    • Assignment (for course). Read one chapter, plan structure and put stuff away. So far I've read a bit and made a few notes but nothing much.
    • Polish all surfaces. Not done.
    • Vaccuum car. Not done.
    Ensure rest of family do stuff:
    • DS revision (exams this week) and timetable. Not done.
    • DD boyfriend mow lawn. He's still asleep (works nights)
    • DS tidy room. He's sorted some stuff out of his wardrobe and I can now get in the door, so I suppose that is success.
    I also had fun stuff on the list:
    • Go to gym or ski (I know but we have a snow slope here!) I don't need any more exercise as I've been busy all day!
    • BBQ. There's no one here to have it apart from me so what's the point (though they could all wake/arrive at any time!)
    • Watch Atonement. I used a voucher at Blockbusters so may well watch this while I iron or give up on everything later!
    Oh and I did do some stuff not on the list:
    • Watered plants.
    • Aldi shop for stuff I couldn't get in Cosco. I had to reorganise the freezer again to get in ice cream etc.
    • Sorted purse and put receipts away.
    • Dropped off DD at work.
    • Collected DS from sleepover and dropped him at girlfriend's (on condition he does other stuff later)
    • Long phone call from ex to arrange summer holiday dates (not together - the kids!)
    • Looked up info on Monnickendam on internet as staying there for weekend in July
    • Lunch today and for tomorrow too (chicken wraps - very summery).
    • Started making a to-do list for tomorrow!!
    There must be a better way!!!!!! :mad:

    Hmm how convenient, bought lager for OH yesterday and there's a couple left in the fridge ;) Have weeded garden so it looks semi-respectable, been out for a walk (8 miles, sweated buckets :o) and now am going to do as little as possible for the rest of the evening!

    after reading this I now feel guilty that I haven't done any gardening...but not guilty enough to go do any - too many midges now anyway!

    Well even *I* have done some gardening. Dug up quite a few dandelions.

    Grass isn't really long enough to cut yet - growing season probably only started this week.

    You southerners with your warm weather... ;)
