So how did I do?

I need to do washing (it’s on already). Got two loads through, they are both still out on the line though.

Sort out clean clothes. Did this.

Wash up and tidy the kitchen. Did this. Then I cooked, so now it needs doing again. That’s what I hate about housework!

Library. Made it to the library. Expensive – had racked up 40 p fines on my book (the website wasn’t working for renewals online 🙁 ) plus there was an 80p reservation fee, plus there was a library sale…well, several of them were educational! Honest… lol

Website work. Not yet.

Accounts. Yeah, right.

Upgrade my blog. Did it. Eventually. And put the blogring back. Now all I’ve got to is learn how to use the new bits!

As well as this, I amused two children, changed multiple horrid nappies, cooked pasta with sauce from scratch, read half a book, had a couple of email conversations, felt ill (can’t get shot of this cough, and it’s really beginning to bother me), watered the plants (with the paddling pool water – reuse!), picked up some leaflets at the library about tai chi and aromatherapy, read books to the children, discussed rhyming, and just generally parented.

But how come I never get around to doing the (possibly) paying work? Small didn’t keel over til about 10 – what have I been doing since then? I watered the plants, and I’ve fiddled with my blog…right, tomorrow the paying work has to come higher up the chain! We’ll end up eating off paper plates, rofl….

  5. Yes definitely a gold star Jax – It’s been too hot over the last couple of days to do all the stuff you have done LOL Luckily Dh has been working on our home finances over the last 3 weeks – one bit at a time – still waiting to hear the bad news!!!!
