OliveOyls 82 day challenge

Day 43
I must get this challenge back on track I'm going to do a Hypno-esque (i.e. detailed) list of things to do and come back and up-date.

1. write to Barclaycard and M&S to cancel my cards which have now been rolled onto a 0% Cap 1 card. I can write Popeyes M&S & Barclaycard letters, but they won't be signed until September.Done my letters. Used Popeyes balance to buy something in M&S - through Quidco, free delivery
2. Check drawer to see if any other credit card accounts exist that should be closed (never closed them in the past, kept them "just in case" )
3. Double-check that the standing orders to those 4 cards ARE cancelled
4. Cancel travel insurance "automatic renewal" and buy next years through Quidco, even if it turns out to be the same company :rotfl: how very dare they automatically renew me
5. Weed the front garden if it stays fine. Did one hour 50%
6. Start filing paperwork - that's this weekends job, the basket we keep the stuff in until we file it is over-flowing.
7. Supper is a de-frosting lasagne so no thought required.
8. But I will have to menu plan for next week. It looks like DS1 is visiting too, so a full house

Glad you had a good night.
weeding yuk!

OliveOyl_2

Well I've done some gardening. You're right Weeding? Yuk
The layer of bindweed down the left hand side of the garden has been removed.

DS2 & I have curled up with House (again )

And I'm going to go to bed, just as soon as Popeye has been on line and I can Skype him. In the meantime I can hang around here

I've done a couple of letters and I have a heap from the drawer to go through for other cancellable credit cards.

Helloooooo glad that last nights meal was yum!

Enjoy your vegging on the sofa time

OliveOyl_2

oooh now I feel guilty

I *have* cleared the kitchen too

vegging....oh the shame

hypno06

Oi, there is nothing wrong with vegging from time to time (although I still have to iron OH a shirt for work in the morning so I will have to move soon!)

OliveOyl_2

I wouldn't be up this early out of choice But Popeye catches a plane to somewhere remote today, and apart from an occasional e-mail when his edge card ( ) works and a few pence on a UK mobile he will be incommunicado until next weekend.

Somehow we've done some damage to the web-cam. My camera only transmits a black screen. Nice for me, I look a bit worse for wear this am but frustrating because it is beyond my ability to deal with it. DS2 fiddled last night, but it isn't a priority for him.

And it's chucking it down again :mad: So today I will:

1. continue with the filing I started.
2. list some 99p stuff on e-bay.
3. Get some of DD's boxes into the loft. I've decided to keep my eye out for some wardrobes on Freecycle, because although she has a large room, she doesn't have much storage.
4. menu plan/list make/shop trying to use the freezer stuff as much as possible, the apples are beginning to arrive.....

I'm glad I worked on the front garden last night, I think this weather is going to last.....

hypno06

It is currently dry here......but how long that will last is anyone's guess!

I am still in my dressing gown, but I need to start thinking about moving.......thinking is good........but actually moving might have to wait until this coffee is finished

I hope you get your list completed - it looks fairly daunting to me.......or is that just because I am being a lazy mare today

OliveOyl_2

This weather is depressing :mad: My mum & Dad are always asking me to move down to their remote village in Kent miles from an Indian takeaway to look after them They sell it to me by saying that they get very little rainfall..........(I still wouldn't want to bury myself there )

I think Norfolk gets low average rain too?

Oh and I'm still in my (actually Popeyes:o ) dressing gown too

hypno06

I think we do get less than average rain, but we still get a lot of the stuff, and when it rains, it sure does rain!!!

Miles from an indian takeaway..........:eek:
