Well I've done quite a few chores this morning so time to sit down with a cup of tea and do a bit of waffling. Especially as I've got all this week's A-Z posts done and scheduled to post. Although I might need to double check them - I just noticed that the formatting on today's post wasn't quite right and had to amend it.
Anyway, one of my blogging friends Marie commented on how organised I was to do the A-Z challenge and still do regular posts. Well, sort of. I haven't done all my regular posts. I think I'm a bit like a swan - I appear calm and serene but underneath I'm paddling like mad to stay afloat.
I'll give you an example - it was Hubby's birthday on Saturday. Now it's true that we don't go big on birthdays or Christmas presents for each other now. But it's still nice to have something to open.
Here are two of the things I bought him:
He is definitely a coffee lover but he doesn't drink enough water so I bought him a cup that will work for hot or cold drinks for when he goes out that might encourage him to take water with him. And yes that mug is fairly large.
I also bought him a new charger for his phone. It was easier than trying to wait for him to go and do it instead of "borrowing" one of mine constantly.
Yes really nice presents, all bought during a food shop in Tesco! Totally planned and organised, NOT!
We did have a nice evening out for his birthday but that wasn't planned by us either. I will try and organise a lunch or a dinner out soon but this week we have HelloFresh coming. Another mishap - I didn't get around to cancelling the delivery for this week, or choosing the meals so we're in for surprises! I have been online this morning and skipped the next few weeks.
So there you have it, perhaps not as organised as I appear. I have also managed to misplace my dustpan and brush. Yes I have checked the dustbins just in case. I've also checked the garden and the front of the house. It seems to have vanished. Fortunately I did have a spare set in the garage so I don't have to go out and replace it. And of course if I did replace it the missing one would suddenly turn up. For now I'm not looking for it anymore, but it is bugging me.
Right, time to get some lunch. Hubby has gone out to get a new battery for his watch and "I might just check out the charity shops while I'm there." He'll probably be gone for a while.
Have a good week all.

Happy Birthday to your hubby. We often do practical gifts, too, and I think they are much appreciated at this point in life. My organizational techniques sound much like yours!
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen.
DeleteGood job on getting all your posts done for the week. Happy birthday to your husband and the water cup was a great idea for a gift. Enjoy your Hello Fresh surprise.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Meatballs with mash, veg and quite a spicy sauce today.
DeleteHappy Birthday to your sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteHee Hee, "borrowing" one of your chargers all the time, I have the same thing happening here.
I just knew he wouldn't get around to buying it himself!
DeleteYour post made me laugh. It makes me feel better knowing you are not superhuman.
ReplyDeleteOh I am definitely not superhuman.
