I'm hoping all 4 of my chooks start laying daily soon. Sick of buying eggs.

Sorry to hear about your bird Mandi.

My chooks are only laying one egg a day at the moment too. It is annoying.  I usually lean the axe against the chook pen door as a signal it is time to pick up the pace or else.

Evening CC, morning everyone else.

Took it fairly slowly but feel back to normal again. Tidied house, washed, ironed, cleaned out handbag, did household accounts, gardened a little, introduced my pony to new occasional helper for when we are away or I can't ride. Cooked mince and taties for supper with 3 cottage pies in freezer after.

Made 2 loaves of isi's Taiwan bread, with amendments. Just waiting for photos to reach iPad through I cloud then will post

Here's one loaf with added chia, poppy and linseeds.

You will  Not believe  how long it took! Ages!
Or perhaps you ladies know that. I try to do it monthly, but his was a bit longer.
But was a nice sitting down job. One I do when DH away and not likely to come home for a cuppa or  lunch and see the mess while all the piles of receipts are sorted out.

Feel good when done though.

The dreaded cleaning out of the hand-bag... urk! I sometimes clean out my mum's for her and I don't know why she half of the stuff in there that she does :-))

Me today:
No personal training, so going for a run.
Work.
Vegie shopping.
Class tonight.

Got to fit some study in there somewhere... and some forum time... ;)

Amy, you fit so much in to your day. :)

I go to work, come on to here, pay bills, check emails, answer the phone,  serve a couple of customers, play with the kids.. Go home to cook dinner again.

There's always lots to do, and its not going to get done unless I do it ;)
I like to think I'm very economical time-wise ;D

It sounds like you do a lot too though!

Firstly I got the kids ready for school, dropped them off, then off to have our tax done.
Brought DDs birthday present (an iPod touch) shh don't tell her :D
Then into town to buy a George Forman grill.
Helped an elderly lady who was blind and swinging a walking stick around to find her way to the bank. She was such a lovely lady and told me she had only been blind for 3 years and absolutely hated it (as you would) she was so great for for my help.
I couldn't believe she would even try to go to town without any help as she only had a walking stick to guide her and it looked quiet awkward and dangerous. (hope she made it home ok) :(

After that I headed to the supermarket and the second I pulled up in the car park my phone rang, it was the high school to say DD 12 was sick and could I pick her up. So off to the high school, picked up DD then took her home.
Back in the car to the supermarket and got my grocery shopping done. 
Home now for a quick drink then off to pick up primary school kids. That's my day so far :)

 dont forget obbie if you wrote down everthing you did in the day  it would be a long list
such as  - got kids ready for school,  help with home work, organize kids for  school , baths, dishes ,  clean up 
 the list goes on for all the untold jobs
