Okay, I am clearly worrying way too much about this but there are only a few spaces left in the old thread!

(What do I think will happen if we finish without a new list? We'll just make a new one. Relax woman!)

Thanks to alicecrail for the title.

Please finish the old thread before starting on this one - there could be a prize if you are number 1000.

Morning!

I did some more of my list, but didn't get back on laptop last night to update.

I finally did the next step of the knitting, sewing the shoulders up, and the next bit is even scarier, picking up stitches, never done it before!l

The weather keeps pushing back according to the beeb, hopefully it'll keep on going and that nasty rain will stay off til next week. We were planning a picnic on Tuesday, but I'll settle for a good weekend!

  • tidy pantry done
  • DS dressed done
  • Me dressed
  • washing - clothes, nappies, another load (get them hung out too)
  • tidy hallway

  • DS nap

  • tidying in our room
  • lunch, clear up
  • walk, get money for milkman
  • dinner
  • DS bath and bed
  • clear kitchen
  • sort office
  • knitting - picking up stitches round neckline (eek!)

TrinityIsLovingHerLittleRhino · 07/05/2009 12:28

I'm scared of this thread what do I have to do?

wastingmyeducation · 07/05/2009 12:31

Trillian, it's a company! They stock a large range of stuff and I bought my Pitrok from them so I was especially pleased as I ran out of my other deodorant this very morning. I also got step-MILs pressie from them and a couple other bits so am v. pleased it's arrived.

Trinity - write a list!

TrillianAstra · 07/05/2009 12:39

Write a list, just for today, of things you have done, things you are in the middle of doing, adn things you intend to do. Tick off the ones you've done. Include things like 'get up' and 'join Slatterns thread'. The idea is that even if you feel you've not done much you can look back and say 'hey, I did all that' (even if all you did was get up, send DD1 to school, eat lunch and MN that's still and achievement if it's in a list!)

My list:

Get DP off to work (cycling a very long way again ) DONE
MN and tea DONE
up and dressed properly DONE
go have tea with friend DONE
put away dry clothes DONE
listen to some learn French CD DOING (can't concentrate and MN at the same time though)
ask for feedback from job that said no DONE
will clean the bathroom today
washing up
lunch
take stuff back in town?
plan moneymaking schemes
look for more jobs LOOKED
apply for jobs if there are any NOT TODAY
dinner out (remember to take vouchers)
