Blogtoberfest Day 22 - a day in the life

I saw someone do one of these a few weeks ago and thought "brilliant idea!" I actually have a similar thing done in a scrapbook from Chook's perspective when she was at nursery and it's nice to look back on. It's supposed to be a photo an hour through the day. I'm far too trigger happy for that! Here we go.

7.30am.
Alarm goes off properly - I've already hit snooze twice but this is get up NOW time. Selfie in bed in the dark (I promise I'm in there!), let the cats out start nagging the wain to GET. UP!

8.30am.
Chookie has left for school (15 minutes ago - we are a slick operation in the morning) and I am ready for work and in a mad flurry of bed making, cat exercising and laundry putting on. Except there's nothing in the machine today since I discovered a leak under the kitchen sink at 8.20am. So I was cleaning that up - just a loose trap, I think. But we are running late now!

9.30am.
After a 12 minute walk into work here I am for the next 6 hours - I do 9am-3pm. But at least it's breakfast time! I'm not a brekkie eater until I've been up hours!! 

10.30am, 11.30am.
Yip. Still in the cell. Working, working, working making pretty and not-so-pretty specs. My boss has been very much in attendance this morning. Go 'way, I'm trying to take pictures!

12.30pm.
My colleague has arrived to do 2 of her 4 hours a week. Company!! Nice old man specs too, right?

1.30pm.
Luuuunch!! After I've done a spot of shopping for toothpaste and hair conditioner. I need a haircut. Love my raincoat, though.

2.30pm.
On my own again til I finish at 3. My first duckfaced selfie with my schmexy safety specs. Niiice.

3.30pm.
Made the walk home (both of us) and now it's housework and homework. Blech.

4.30pm.
Thinking about cooking tea. My least favourite job.

5.30pm.
Eating with the fam! Just Chook and I tonight, Spouse is working late. Easy tea and while not especially healthy, a wee treat on a wet, dreich day!

6.30pm.
Post tea clear-up finished and having a cuppa in my new fave hedgehog mug and a biccie. Or three. Nom. That's the lights on and curtains shut, too. Poo.

7.30pm.
Playtime!! Having stalled with the triangles I've moved on to a table square for my wee mum. Accompanied by my shadow.

8.30pm.
A small interlude from the sewing to have a shot of Spouse's new bumpy wee car (brilliant fun, VERY fast and nippy) and ended up in Lidls buying sweeties and other rubbish.

9.30pm.
Finishing off a wee table square with some hand quilting. Wee Temple cat sitting on my feet, Jones cat screaming for his tea!

10.30pm.
Last wee snack watching Monday night's "Gotham" with the spouse. And then off to bed.  

Same again tomorrow! Night night! X

Hi! I'll try really hard to reply to comments by email (unless you're a no-reply Blogger in which case I can't!) because I love getting your messages but I'm a working mum and don't always manage - I read and appreciate every single one!
