Stop boys killing themselves
Hang out washing
Clean clothes away
Gardening
Go to Folk Club this evening

Yep - that should be enough for one day.

Blimey Chez, that's impressive! Very Happy I've, er, been to the library and done some shopping. Oh, and swept the kitchen floor. And faffed about on the internet, of course... Next I must convert tomatoes and courgettes into something I fancy eating for lunch and try not to think about how long the sheets have been on my bed (the trouble with reading other people's lists is that they remind you of things... Embarassed ).

This afternoon I will:

rest a while
bake something
sew a bit
read a bit
ignore grubby carpets' pleas to be hoovered
Chez

My secret is white sheets and duvet covers. Shows the dirt so much that even I feel motivated to change them regularly Smile.

I too have white(ish) sheets and duvet covers Laughing . But it's only little old me sleeping between them and I always wear a nightie so how dirty can they get??

I have started a book I can't put down, so I am going to abandon the day to an orgy of reading Very Happy . Just getting a cuppa and cake, then I'm back to my couch. Haven't done a read-in-one-sitting for months...
Marionb

I was all geared up to finish mowing my lawns, started yesterday but it started raining. But my good intentions have been thwarted - cant start the lawnmower.... Mad Mad
marigold

Having escaped from the book for a while I was thinking I might show a bit of list discipline and make a cake, but I forgot to buy any cocoa powder this morning and I suspect chocolate courgette cake won't quite be the same without it Rolling Eyes . Must give some courgettes away soon or I'll need another fridge to store them in...

Go to Folk Club this evening - off in an hour and before then I must put children and chickens to bed, bring in washing, shower, change and find the energy to be sociable
Chez

Well, a Non-Death-Situation is always something to be celebrated Smile. And I normally find that if I don't worry about finding the energy to be sociable but just drag myself along, somehow, it wells up anyway ... . Have a nice time!
Green Rosie

Thoroughly enjoyed the Folk Evening - small amount of chat and lots of sitting listening in a relaxed way. Children were still trying hard to make me kill them this morning so we split them up and now both kids and I am more chilled ....... just Wink (and they are currently esconced in front of the tv Embarassed )
