Flight Plan for today.

***

ellie my aunt lives on the outside of that town, my cousin has moved over the water to a town we do not mention

Well I've weighed myself and gone back to MFP, only gain 4lbs, but still a lot of work to do.

Goth - I am 5'1" and today weigh 71.3kg. (11 stone 3). I would like to be 9 1/2 stone but would settle for 10!

I joined a gym 2 months ago and for the first month swam twice a week and lost a couple of pounds but since I have been unwell I have put it all on again. I am going to start again once the kids are back at school and plan to eat 'much' smaller portions. A couple of years go I ate off side plates for one month and lost half a stone . No effort required.

Shh!! It is 11 and I still in bed.

I have just got dressed after spending a lazy day sat in my pjs with dd watching wreck it ralph. Dressed now. So I had better get motivated.
To do
Coax dcs out of their onesies
Make lunch
Hoover/ dust downstairs
S and s
washing out
reload wm
small pile ironing
fold and put away laundry
tidy kitchen
dw

That will do. I can feel the last day of 2013 being a lazy one

Merry just read your post. We must have the same mindset today

Oh heavens, are we talking about weights? I'll leave and come back later!

I'm just doing little bits and pieces in between dealing with the DCs.

to do
whatever I can get done

Goth - I quite like Hull When I worked in Grimsby with a load of psychologists, they all lived in Hull and commuted as Hull was obviously so much better than Grimsby ;)

Merry - I am not surprised you are still in bed after your mammoth ta da list yesterday, you deserve it!

Sorry everyone, I am going to be clogging up the thread loads today while on my 15 min breaks

Goth - thank you so much for being such a brilliant thread leader.
Not sure if I will make it back before the New Year, so Happy New Year everyone.

I've just put the same load of washing on for the 3rd time. Must remember to take it out and hang it up today...

No worries about being in bed. my original plan was to sleep until 2pm. however i woke up at 11am feeling rested . i have just been brought coffee by a well meaning personm who was lucky i was awake we do communicate in this house but some have selective hearing and memories...

Got side tracked whilst suppoesd to be thinking about my to do list.
Crisis tidy: lounge, dining room, porch
Laundry through machine
folding
ironing
packing
clothes away
hoovering
mince pies make up
cook brownies
trip to shops -nail polish remover and a few other little bits
Burn photo CD
Ring ds
Sort out present - photos to print and put into frames
write letters not done before christmas
Set up thread
remove chipped nail polish

However, most importantly i need to get up. So breakfast and shower are first on the list of things to do.

Another one just getting dressed here. Then to brave the food shop and a trip into town to get DD some new boots as she has scuffed hers after only 2 months.

Stayed in bed till 10 and have just got dressed.

I don't know Lincolnshire at all. I went to see a football match at Grimsby Town once (believe the stadium is actually in Cleethorpes?). Had lovely fish and chips on the seafront beforehand. Match was memorable for the funniest (unintentionally) half time entertainment I have ever seen. .

Anyway, ta-da!
Nothing much, have cleaned kitchen and scrubbed a few grubby bathroom bits (soapdish etc).
Cat made another attempt at pot plant toileting, but decided against when she realised I had covered the soil with rosemary cuttings from the garden (hoping the smell and feel will put her off).
Supervised DCs emptying DW.
First load of washing in dryer second about to go on.

Goth - I'm not good at heights either, but am trying to overcome my fears. I also love a good view so definitely going to try the Titan. Thank you very much for thread leading this month, brilliant job .

Was eating my breakfast when DH came back from work for his lunch today .

Have unloaded and reloaded the d/w. Have my best friend here, so there is a lot of chatting going on and no Flying .

Somebody boot me up the backside. Dp will be back from work in an hour and all I have managed to do is make the beds and lunch!!

ta da
drink coffee
send 1 of several important emails
internet admin type stuff

really got to move now. but i don't want to :( My bed is so warm and comfy...

Just told DS1 off for not being dressed. Then realised I am still in my dressing gown .

toffee

Just put ds down for a nap, came back downstairs and dh has disappeared. Guessing hoping he's in the garage doing some decluttering!

Ta da
washing up
wash on
2 loads of wash away

that'll do. Don't want to overdo it.

Enjoying my last 5 minutes of my latest break. I will stun you all with my ta da list when I'm finished :o

Whispers you are quite welcome to my queen of lists crown today. As installer of the naughty corner I am hiding out there in my sofa fort.

toffee. If ever there was a situation that demanded the mantra, 'do as I say, not as I do'.....

Bloody hell. Just been to get a few bits for today and tomorrow and you would have thought it was xmas all over again. Not one single vegetable apart from potatoes left in Aldi. And people fighting over the last joints of meat. Was going to trek to Sainsbos for veg but cba we will have frozen tomorrow.

Ta da:-
Bath
Town
Aldi
DH tidied up

To do:-
Washing up
Visit dsis for an hour or so
Have lovely quiet family NYE

Eustacia we're very similar, I'm 5'2 & 11st 1, yes those target weights sound about right.

Been for a walk, went to the library, bank and the park, we had fun feeding peanuts to squirrels & blue tits. Then took some scraps for the ducks & swans.

About to get on with the ironing, luckily don't have to think about dinner as DH is reinstating Tuesday night curry, he's getting to be quite good at them.

ellie I couldn't believe the queues in Sainsbury's the Monday before Christmas. It was unbelievable! You'd think people could cope with the supermarket being shut for one day!

We have lots of yummy things for tonight - DH is going to make some sushi with smoked salmon, we have some prawns for a prawn cocktail, lots of cheese, ripe avocados for guacamole and lots of bread and crackers to have with oil and vinegar. Also picked up some of my favourite wine to enjoy because after the next few days (NYE, NYD and my birthday) I am eating clean (she says!).

Bloody firecrackers and bangs rocking our city now (only time people can set them off legally - more money than sense some people). though will be lovely to out at midnight and see the proper fireworks.

Have no idea what we're eating for dinner tomorrow. Will probably go round to ILs for coffee in morning, the collapse at home. Would like something packed with veg tomorrow so maybe a casserole.
