• Productive or what?

  Today I...

  • Cleaned the floors (all of them.  With mops or hoover depending on whether they had carpet or not)
  • De-scaled the bathroom
  • De-scaled round the kitchen sink
  • Pulled out the washing machine and cleaned underneath it (yes, it was foul, and I found several bits of dead pasta in the process)
  • Hoovered under the bath (not a good place to hide yarn, I think that something is growing there, and must investigate further, or send in the Big Guns aka Daddy)
  • Destroyed the runner bean plant and what was left of the azalea and put both in the rubbish to take away.  The runner beans had lots of roots.
  • Found my lost garden fork
  • Did all the laundry, but ran out of time for changing the bed sheets
  • Pulled out the bookcase in the hall, cleaned it, cleaned behind it, restocked it with all my Guidey books
  • Did the Brownie and Guide Accounts (the latter balanced much more easily).  Paid myself £100 owed in cash, and also sorted out £100 to go to the bank, and tried not to faint in horror that all that had accumulated in the flat.  The accounts too about as long as the house work.  Bad Brown Owl.
  • Spoke to Mum for half an hour, and Dom for three quarters of an hour
  • Booked Pack Holiday and wrote a cheque for the deposit (must photocopy form and also find an A4 envelope for SAE)
  • Stuffed Legoland letters into envelopes for children who'd missed them.
  • Read various parts of yesterday's paper
  • Began reading Flashman (I don't like the character, I do like the writing.  A conundrum)
  • Had a lie in until 10 am
  • Didn't change out of PJs until 4pm
  • Ate cheap chinese food for supper, as there is no point in cooking when a. one is struggling with accounts and b. one can get dinner for a quid from the market if one times it properly
  • Made a list of things for Dad
  • Brought my email correspondence up to date
  • Texted Heather more than was probably strictly necessary
  • Identified the owner of a pair of shoes that has been in the cupboard for about three years, and got rid of said shoes

  I should have booked a train ticket, organised a quote for the floor, done Things with Photos for Guides, and replaced my shampoo and conditioner.  However, I've done quite enough today.  Am working on the idea of the stole photo.  Patience is a virtue, and I am useless with cameras, even if they do have lots of lovely piccies of morris dancers on them!
