DH has just cycled off to DSIL's house to make some more shelves. If we don't get more of these boxes (I just typo-ed 'poxes', which about sums it up!) unpacked soon I may start climbing the walls.

Lenora, well done on getting your assessment out of the way without bloodshed! And those 11 pounds. Kerri, how's the staffing going? Sounds like a very good plan to outsource your financial stuff. Honey, How are those goals and plans now you have a new job?

What I really need is a new routine. I have an extra day a week to be homemaking now that the thesis is in, and as DD doesn't have any playgroup yet and we have no friends for day-time meeting, we're drifting a bit. I'm thinking to try Monday for main housework, paperwork etc. Tuesday there are a couple of mother and toddler groups we're going to try (three on Tuesday morning in this area. Why?). Wednesday, Thursday, Friday need to have swimming, library, errands, outings etc.. With a brief housework moment on Friday. I'm sure it will soon start to fall into place.

Right now I have the kitchen to get back into shape and . . . yes . . . you guessed it . . . more boxes to unpack!
