    Hello lovely,

    Wow, under 2K and then blighted by Christmas and plus one! :) I'm the same as you in that Christmas has thrown me out a bit, so I'm just working on damage limitation now!

    I'm currently trying to get my head back into gear after the last month of worries. Hopefully I'm almost there! Lots of decluttering done, and now it will be a constant mission for me.

    Have a lovely day and congratulations again to getting around the 2K mark. I remember a time when you thought you'd never get here. ;)

    this time of year is always expensive...

    re plus one think that needs a bit of further discussion!

    Evening all finally home from work a quick tidy only to find my tumble drier has died...In my tiny place I am loathed to have my smalls hanging every where ..lol .


    Need to decide to get a couple of those radiator rack things or invest in a small drier .


    Plus one is going to cost me :( ...unless I get shot of him before xmas and pick him up again new years eve..lol :T


    I have no food in really...still eating out of the cupboards and mini freezer but you know how it is I just don't fancy the food I have got.


    Funds are very, very low but only 6 days to go ...until paid.


    Popped the last bits on ebay


    I will have to think about what I need to buy for next week...

    Hi Sam,

    Depending exactly how small your flat is you might find some of my favourite organising things useful:
    Huge folding airer
    Fold up mini whirligig
    Iron and ironing board over the door holder

    I very rarely use the tumble drier - chucking things on the racks by a radiator overnight usually has them dry by the time I get home from work the next day (even though the radiators go off at about 10pm, they give out heat while they cool). I did have radiator racks when I had actual radiators but found them a bit messy as I tended to knock things off them going past.


    Re df and plus one - I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be asking you for expensive things if he knew it would stress you. Have you explained to him that this would be a good time for less things and more thoughts, especially as it will be the last Christmas you need to skimp? (because you will be DF for the next one!)

    I am so stressed out with all the rush of everything and it appears my neighbour above has a new game ...so the living under a battlefield goes on until 4am as he has no job.


    I hope for his sake he does not bump in to me, I am just so angry lol


    Lots to do at work so I hate everyone ...even some public speaking which I loathe.


    Secret bloody santa done like I have not got enough to worry about :)


    Tonight I need to tidy up ... but its already 11pm .


    Will make lists then at least I will feel better when I strike the things off .

    Hello lovely lady,

    Sending you some hugs to help you through this week. Lots of niggly things going on for you.

    It's good the secret santa is done and you have plans for writing lists. Boo to the public speaking and tidying up at 11pm. As for the battlefield neighbour ........... my words aren't suitable for a public forum! That sounds like the worst situation so I hope he gets sorted soon!

    The neighbour avoiding me :) lol


    Now, I am not ageist but 45/50 and on a WI/ Xbox thingy all night!!! So no wonder he is single..ha ha Lets hope he doesn't get one of those WI fitness boards - then I'd really be in trouble. I can tolerate for now.. just about.


    Longing to get to the Weekend and then the Xmas holidays I really could do with the rest :)


    I have had some lovely cards for xmas :-)


    Hope everyone is good .


    Pay day Friday so need to tackle the debt and get that down a bit more.
