BAAAARRRRRRRRRRKING er insanely so0 -
A list :think: Well it is my last day alone in the office
but I left the Jaffa cake bars at home :doh:
I've already done the shopping for tonight (I'm either feeding 3, 4 or 6) and there's a new veg stall in town and that has made my day
And I've signed up for a MS on Friday lunchtime. A nice easy bank one for £10, and on my other site one of my referrals has finally done an assignment so I'll get £1.50
The washing is on the line, the shopping trolley is still in the garden (bluddy teenagers:mad: ) and I have a washing mountain of sheets still to do.
So today I must:- Make a list done
- make shepherds pie when I get home.
- send a list of items to the potential off-ebay buyer (should have been done yesterday
)
- Strip & re-make DS1's bed - or perhaps strip & put clean bedding into room for him to re-make......;)
- update chore wars (I've been doing the work, but not scoring :eek: )
- work out what food to leave DS2 while I'm away........if any - see supermarket trolley in garden :exclamati
- Pay 2 credit cards. -1 is the usual pay off completely every month one, the other is about to have an extra payment
(All other cc's have a DD for the minimum on them until their 0% is about to expire :money: )
- See if I can now cap my fuel, having switched in March and not capped :mad:
- Send Pa a rubbish B'day card which I found reduced - it's what we do in our family

I keep forgetting about chore wars..and well done on er...making the list!
I like sending really bad cards..the cheapest i have done one for is nothing as i found it! And FIL thought it was a great card..so i am now on the hunt for another card of the same ilk for MIL aka wicked witch of the North east..preferably something hexed..:rotfl:Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

Bob, my family and I (well actually mostly me
) like the dog-eared, elderly, with dated photographs and inappropriately slushy verses sort of card.
Dogs pining after their masters, women in cardigans gazing in awe at great big train engines, and still life paintings
The more yellowed with age the better.
And one year I got one with the price in pre-decimal :rotfl: Fortunately they didn't cellophane them in those days. You have to ask independant retailers if you can rummage in their drawers of old card stock
My present in-laws take cards VERY seriously, so I couldn't do it to them.
:think: hmm or maybe I could0 -
:eek: 1.30 am Shaun and it is Good Morning, unless you haven't slept in which case it is Good Night

Tell him Well Done from me(that'll be cheaper for me)

Well that's yesterdays, and a fair bit to carry forward
But the washing machine is on again, the kitchen is tidy and I've got leftovers for lunch, so a good start0 -
Ah, a rummage in retailers drawers....now there's a title for a 'B' rate movie if ever i heard one!:rotfl: :rotfl:
I haven't updated chore wars either:oBlackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

Day 75, this time next week I won't be here, I'll be on my way
So today I have:- struggled with the return of my colleagues, and their petty bickering
- eyed some of the swag and tried to work out how to justify any of it being given to me
"I did answer the phones while you were away slogging?"
- stripped the temporary lodgers bed - I resisted doing that before he left, and I was polite enough not to be too cheerful at his departure
the bedding is now in the machine.
- signed up for another survey site, and this one will earn me air-miles
- Speaking of air-miles, Popeye has earned enough air miles to buy our flights at Christmas :money: (he has had a lot of internal flights)
- Tonight I have to go out and handover keys to someone, but when I return I have the house to myself
- And I'm about to update my signature as some more MS money has come through.
