    Hi everyone :coffee:
    Mega tired today. I might even have to have a night off from exam marking - just desperate for a good night's sleep - got just over 4 hours last night.
    Still busy at work and home and now seriously considering getting a cleaner in to help me. Really not mse but I can't find any spare time and motivation together...

    Evening all :)
    Been awol for a few days as I have been poorly again :(
    But I have been reading along, and managed a few things today:

    Only had to go back to bed for a couple of hours this morning, and this only was because OH was snoring like a walrus at 4.30 am so I got up. Went back for a couple of hours after he got up. This is a big step forward, as I have been in bed for most of the time over the last few days :(
    Stripped off bed, and OH helped me remake it
    Load of washing dried on the line outside :)
    Picked some more strawberries :)
    Watered the pots in the front garden
    HG veg for dinner with our salmon this evening, new potatoes, mangetout and courgettes. And parsley with the salmon, too :)
    Froze some leftover cream that was about to go out of date. Need to check the rest of the fridge items too!
    Phoned hospital about referral, made appointment :(
    Ended all my ebay items as I can do without that at the moment!
    Walked dog with OH, it is fun seeing him run about in the park :)
    Claimed £50 payout from Yougov :D
    Still to do:
    Get washing in, fold and put away :)
    Deal with a bit of paperwork, a charity donation and a cheque for the window cleaner.
    Get an early night, all rock and roll here!

    Meant to say this morning 1LuckyLady hope you're ok if you're lurking. Tried to PM you but it said I wasn't allowed for some reason :(

    OH or the dog? :rotfl: (I am having Benny Hillesque visions :eek: )


    Another one in line for an early night here, we should have a virtual pyjama party :D

    I've done everything on my list except I froze the pasta and ate fruit instead. DS has been watching a gaming expo that is being streamed live over the last couple of days and is eating snacks while watching so he has some YS houmous and I bought a couple of different YS sandwiches for him (and one for me for lunch tomorrow.)

    Night all!

    Morning all,

    Sorry not been posting daily, with going away and then youngest son home for a few days, real life has got in the way.
    It's our mega birthday week, Youngest DH is 21 today, DD birthday on Thursday and DH on Friday, plus fathers day and MIL 80th and best friends birthday on Sunday:eek:
    We have given youngest money as we did with the other 3. He's about to have a year in Australia so it will come in handy.
    Todays plans include
    -Working on my ebay shop. I have a mega haul of items to list this week
    -do a meal plan. Been hopeless just lately, must get back on track with this
    -decide on tea, pull something out of the freezer (DS is off out with his friends tonight
    -need to pick up a spray bottle to dilute and use my Zoflora
    -plan the barbecue on friday sort of a joint celebration
    -Twins, I'm planning to do the same things with creditors. I've got two unenforceable who I will be offering 10%, 3 who are still trying to find it and one no response at all!

    That's it for today folks, have a good Tuesday x
    Started Self Managed DMP 10th May 2017.
