I didn’t have a chance to post my list on friday, and having ready your October checklist I so wish I’d tackled my garden shed too as it was a super hot sunny weekend. Hope we get another dry clear day soon… anyway my weekend list.
After succesfully sticking to one/two items a day last weekend, I completely forgot and did a longer list which didn’t work out so well:
to do
1. clean and switch on new fridge/freezer ~ and arrange shelves in an organised way.
tick ~ finally completed this afternoon. Phew I never expected it to have so many parts to clean… now all shiney and fresh.
2. do shopping list to fill it
not done ~ have started to transfer over food from old appliances though, and can see I’ll be reorganising the layout once I start to use it more.
3. order new carpets. Done and deposit paid
4. select flooring for bathroom. not done but we have a choice of samples to select from now.
5. choose baby name. big fail ~ didn’t even review the list to make it shorter. sigh!
play
1. enjoy the hot sunshine. done ~ lovely long sunday walk with baby in pram
2. parents in law over to see baby girl. not done, cancelled due to colds 🙁
Ok – I think my list WAS too ambitious :). I’m okay with it though. I got a lot of stuff done, and decided to get a pedicure & buy new plants to spruce up the deck area on Saturday afternoon, so the weekend was definitely a success!
