    Feeling a little de motivated at the mo.

    Lot on at work and no 'head space' to plan and think about cooking.

    Disaster really.

    Need to do a shopping list and try to plan some meals.

    In the mood for salad tonight so will probably go for this as an option.

    Hope everyone has a more productive day than me and congratulations to JackiO.:T

    Morning all, hope everyone is ok. Not the best of days today. Had to get DH to ring florist to explain they wern't having a "funny" phone as I put the phone down twice. Stupid really.. Will phone them later. Also last night on the last of the phone calls I found out exactly the news that I DIDN'T want to hear re the accident. Feel that things are going to get a whole lot worse before they get better. As ever thank you all for your kindness, love and support. Don't know what I would do without you all.

    Hello Again

    Penny-Pincher if you get back on here today would you mind telling me which spot cream as DD is really suffering at the moment. Many Thanks

    Sorry Triker I must have nicked your motivation which is quite unusual for me, cycled with DS to school then on to the shops. Have done 2 loads of washing, cleaned the kitchen worktops, made steak pie filling and cleaned the bathroom. In my office now but think will break off for lunch in a mo. Waiting for OH to wake up so I can clean the ensuite.

    Been out to the veg patch and really need to have salad everyday next week as the lettuce is ready. Think will take some round to dsis.

    Best get on.

    Yayyyyy well done JackieO!! This time last year you were looking up a very steep hill. Now you've got to the top and are admiring the view wearing a big smile and carrying a large G&T. Congratulations, you got through it. I hope you are proud and happy xxxx.

    Today - more job hunting, I'll not bore you with the details.

    I've got to shove a load of underwear in the washing machine this afternoon otherwise I'll be having to go commando at the weekend. I should do some general housework too. In fact I did look at the flylady thread on Wednesday and wrote out a list of what Thursday's jobs should be. Funnily I didn't get around to them (ha ha failed on the first day:rotfl:). I do need and want to get a bit more organised in the house so I will revisit flylady and see what today's jobs are and actually get them done.

    Kaat_Lady, your peas and spuds look fantastic, well done you! (Or well done to your OH but you can have the praise if he's not looking).

    This evening I will raise a whole entire bottle of red in honour of JackieO and plug myself into Corrie as well.

    Bye for now all.

    Snowy
