Feeling a bit down as procrastinated with knitting this morning and although had a lie in, good breakfast, put 2 loads of washing on and frankly deserved some knitting, I'm meant to be getting more stuff done this weekend.
Anyway until I can go through plan with DH I had better have a shower. Will check back once plan has been made.

Woke with sore throat but my teeth feel fine. The dentist had said that they might be painful until the filling settled down and it feels fine.
Done:
Up prayer and reflection
Washed up and a little tidying
Checked emails and posts
Todo:
x Yesterday I had been back from my travels for five weeks and I'm aware I haven't done as much as I planned. So I am going to work on this today.
x From above list for week and maybe get some done today
x Deal with post if any comes
I've washed up and cleaned up the kitchen including the floor, vacummed my bedsit and the hallway (which I had promised to do and hadn't), put clothes away, and generally sorted and tidied. I feel in a better mood and am now going to watch a TV programme which is a little associated with my work.
Also I have looked over the plans for my book - I still feel overwhelmed and confused.
Update above at 15.20
X Prayer and reflection
and had a shower and looked at more maybe useful TV and websites and am ready for tomorrow

Salamander's check in - Sat 24 Nov 2012
Thank you, pro, for maintaining these boards for the fellowship. Thank you also to ms for starting the thread.
I would appreciate it if anyone who feels moved to comment on my post here would write to me privately rather than post in reply to this post - so I can still edit this post here. Thank you!
Scrub the 2nd quarter of kitchen floor
Then
Best wishes to my fellow procrastinators with your days ahead.
Thank you to Mole for the suggestion about doing one tile at a time for my kitchen floor. I assumed you were joking about breaking it down quite that far, but the day before yesterday I was successful in cleaning the first 1/4 of it - YIPPEE! And thank you!
