So I’m a sucker for reading these posts, I love them!
Having been lazy I am looking forward to DD going back to school and some normality resuming.
However I need some inspiration as I’m dreading the early mornings.
My day should go as follows:

6.30 - Wake up, have a cuppa
6.45 - Wake DD up and nag her to eat breakfast
7.00 - Feed dogs, get dressed, nag DD to get ready
7.30 - Walk to bus stop
7.45 - Get bus to DDs school
8.20 - Drop DD off
9.00 - Return home and do a spot of cleaning/laundry, have breakfast
10.00 - Online lecture (University) or writing assignments/ reading
12.00 - Lunch (leisurely so I can Facebook/Mumsnet)
13.00 - More studying etc
14.00 - Bus to collect DD
15.00 - Return home, help dd with homework, housework or just be lazy
17.00 - Make/eat dinner
18.00 - Walk doggies
19.00 - Bath/shower
20.00 - Play Xbox/ read
23.00 - Sleep

Let’s hear yours!
