So DD3 is having a party on Friday! I need to have at least the downstairs tidy. My utility room and downstairs loo have to be decluttered.

To Do
Washing
Move Christmas Decs out of downstairs shower
Dishes
DH's Dinner

That will do for starters

@NotTakenUsername don't feel bad; that's so sweet, you're obviously doing something right Smile.

Thank you. Although asking me not to feel bad is like asking water not to be wet! Blush

On with my day...

Ugh, I got sucked into the MN chit chat... it’s such a double edged sword.
So I’m not going to my course, but I am going to do something...

Don't think I will get much else ticked off my list today but I was out of the house most of day and I'm going out again this evening so that's OK.

@NotTakenUsername I'm sorry to hear your DD is having problems, have you made any progress do you think?

@NotTakenUsername, hate to hear of problems at school.
Only home after a trip away. DD heading away at 5 to see a musical so need to get her to the band room.

Getting oven cleaned in the morning so need to get the kitchen looking respectable so will start at 6

Today I’ve been treading water mostly. Dd is at the very start of the Autism Assessment process. I haven’t quite fully accepted it yet but I’m getting there. Today has been a big step forward for both of us and she got a happy note for having a good day at school.

Today is a write off but tomorrow is another day. Thank you for your kind words.

Plan for today with a bit of humour added in to make me smile:
🔲Laminate happy note and some other bits for Dd
🔲Groom the dog
🔲Shower, dress, hair, makeup
🔲Take my grandmother for her errands
🔲Invoices (2 done, 2 to complete)
🔲Exercise the dog
🔲Vacuum the whole bloody house
🔲Sit and recover from the pain from vacuuming the whole bloody house
🔲Mop hard floors
🔲Wipe around two bathrooms
🔲Do one load of laundry...
🔲...And another one
🔲Contemplate why I didn’t work harder in school, or marry a millionaire, so I could hire a cleaner, cook and personal masseuse...
🔲Empty and load dishwasher
🔲Air out the whole house
🔲Pack Dd swimming stuff
🔲Start (like literally even to stand in the room for a while and think!) on the nursery plans.
🔲Work in my paid job for 2.5 hours
🔲Make fajitas for tea

I’m pumped! Let’s do this!! 💪💪💪

That sounds tough @NotTakenUsername what age is your DD? Do you think it will be positive to get a diagnosis and get her any extra help she needs in school etc?

I wasn't feeling very well for most of yesterday so not the most productive day; lots to do today as a result.

Hi Freak, so do I, hence why I was doing this one, so so pleased others joined in, cause it really does give me a kick up the bum!
