Bed made, clothes picked up
Bags from weekend unpacked and put away.
HHi done, basket empty
Coffee next, email to work and then update spending and saving sheets. I’ve let this slip for the last few weeks so need to catch up.
Anxious this morning, DS1 still not feeling well and a tough day ahead at work. Like Mademoiselle I am fixing a smile on my face and getting on with it.
General tidy up done, morning workout done, bathroom and kitchen swished and swiped, some home admin sorted. Off to the paid stuff soon, will be working through until at least 9pm.
I started the morning by going back to sleep, having been in the WAC for a few hours. One load through the wm, LR tidied and dusted. As it was vacuumed at the weekend, it is still ok. Friend knocked at the door to go for a walk - I had got the time wrong again!. 6 miles across glorious countryside on our doorstep, and the weather went from misty murky to blue skies and sunshine.
Home to find that the binmen have ripped the lid off the recycling bin and abandoned the lidless bin on the pavement. More admin to sort out.
Quick lunch then I am going to forget that I should be doing some admin, and going to go out in the back garden to sort out the pots of geraniums. Any tips on how best to over winter them? I grew them from seed, so no great loss if I lose them, but it would be nice to try to keep a few at least.
YL - hugs xx
Hi ladies
Update from me - three loads of washing done, all downstairs floors hoovered and mopped, WULTD, lunch scoffed, small charity shop pile started. I have also listed a small item on FB marketplace.
Oh, eggs collected too. I am going to be very naughty and watch a movie now until school time. Sending love and deep breathing to all those feeling anxious today xx
Leftovers for lunch
A few bits in bin and give away box
Pellets brought in so plenty for today and tomorrow
Still no admin done, nor spreadsheets and I need some lesson plans for tomorrow and Thursday.
Lounge polished, window cleaned and dresser cleaned out and decluttered 🙌
Dinner to sort out as the meal plan says use up puff pastry…helpful.
Cuppa and a buttered crumpet first, though. Did someone say Slinky??
Bedlinen washed, bed re-made with the winter duvet, leaves raked off the lawn, Rosie walked, emails and cards written, birthday card delivered to a friend who invited me in, so I sat and chatted with her for 3/4 hour (which was not planned , but she is lonely). At lunchtime I thought I was in for a crippling migraine, but I had a nap and felt better for it.
My list is now somewhat shorter than it was this morning, and I have cried off a meeting for tomorrow afternoon, which will give me about 3 hours of my life back. This evening I am going to relax with quiz shows.
