Motivated?

I’m ready for today’s Motivation Monday. The weather was so good over the weekend, the housework didn’t get much of a look-in!

The rules of the game are simple enough…just list 5 things you wish to achieve during the week ahead and hopefully get motivated!

• Clean all bedrooms
• Chase the carpenter (no doubt I’ll get a couple of comments here!)
• Renew Carer and Toddler Group insurance
• Finish garden today
• Do not deviate fron the above tasks until they are completed!

20 years on…

 May 2nd 1988..

 

 I went to Kilburn, London with a work friend. He had the hots for me in a big way. Truth is, work friend had a lovely, kind personality but he was very much like Shane MacGowan ,the lead singer of the Pogues in appearance, otherwise a great bloke. We went to see the Wolfetones at The National that night, the only reason I actually took him up on his offer, was that I knew for a fact ‘Chef’ would be there. He was, we danced and that was the start of our 20 year relationship. Next month, June 11th, we will be married 18 years.

 

Chef, tá grá agam duit x

What the f%*k?

Just had to have a go!

Back to reality

Barcelona was great. The shopping wore me out more than the dancing and drinking!

 Back to reality now and the washing machine is back on non-stop, washing is out on the line (weather great here in Ireland) the floors have been swept and mopped, clothes picked up off the floor in all bedrooms, grass cut, children bathed/showered and fridge cleaned!

Life is good…. 

 

43,000 hits and a Quickie…….

   I’m really looking forward to the hen Party this weekend in Barcelona (just rubbing it in Earthpal!) At first, I was concerned as to where the children would go if Workaholic Chef were to decide to go into work for no particular reason. He assures me he won’t go anywhere near his office and has taken three days ‘holidays’..We’ll see! My Motivation Monday list is being worked on. I’m determined to get through all the ironing this afternoon before I go for a spray tan top-up.  Other things on the list will have to be forwarded onto next Monday’s list! 

So, until Monday…. ¡Adios Amigos!   

 

 

Witty Wednesday

A prisoner in jail receives a letter from his wife:

.

 “Dear Husband, I have decided to plant some lettuce in the back garden. When is the best time to plant them?”The prisoner, knowing that the prison guards read all mail, replied in a letter: “Dear Wife, whatever you do, do not touch the back garden. That is where I hid all the money.”

A week or so later, he received another letter from his wife: “

Dear Husband, You wouldn’t believe what happened, some men came with shovels to the house, and dug up all the back garden.”

The prisoner wrote another letter back:

“Dear wife, now is the best time to plant the lettuce.”

 

 

Viva España

 I’m off to Barcelona with the girls this weekend for a Hen Party. I really didn’t want to go initially, but now I’m looking forward to the rest  break! Not sure what the weather will be like at this time of the year, so I’m a bit unsure what to pack.

Has anyone out there been to Barcelona in April?
