    Back from town! A well planned rapid strike mission - all accomplished within 40 minutes!!!
    DS now owner of a short sleeved shirt. Foolishly I bought white - may well live to regret that later!
    Next mission is to feed the ginger crew before tarting up for the party later. I feel more like chilling out in a cool room rather than wearing posh frocks in the sunshine (It'll probably be great when I get there!)
    Sandwiches here I come!
    Dusty - I think you're a star for rescuing bumble bees! I'm far to much of a big girl's blouse to do that!

    well i've finally got my hair dye on...been nervous about doing it as there are serious warnings if you've ever had a henna tattoo (which i have) but i did do the patch test and it seemed ok...just trying to cover end of my highlights which i can't really afford to have done again, and my hair needs washing every day when not dyed, only every other day when dyed, so worth a go. DH not very happy as we were going out at 1 for a walk / break for him from study and now i'll be finishing this until about 1.15 - oh well, he'll get over it!

    bit bored here otherwise - DH studying and i've got a list of stuff to do but can't be bothered to do any of it, nothing on tv of course and i don't really have any local friends... oh well, i'll survive!

    Its too hot to go out and do any gardening so I'm going to have a sort out of what's in the freezer (I know I bought a bag of sausages yesterday, but forgot to buy the bag of chips we needed :rolleyes::o ), fridge and cupboards. While I'm doing that I'm going to put a film on :wave:

    Afternoon - BORED!!

    Bedroom - tidied, bed made, dusted, washing folded and put away, wash on
    Bathroom - S&S
    Kitchen - S&S

    Bored, grumpy DH working (but still has headache and so is snapping the face of me every time I speak....................there could be trouble ahead!

    Nicki - Just read the freezer thread - great stuff. I wrote a list a while ago and DH told me I had finally gone over the top.........just shared with him that others seem to have done the same......so not so crazy after all. The list makes it easier for me to think what to eat...just have to remember to take it out the night before cuz DH won't eat anything defrosted in the freezer!

    Two months ago I decided to buy no toiletries, cleaning stuff or tins of food until I actually ran out of what was here..........I have bought none of the above except bleach and that was only this week.
    LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.
    (CC/LOAN = [STRIKE]36,378.98[/STRIKE] 35668.47. O/D = [STRIKE]1255.32[/STRIKE] 1212.35/[STRIKE]1999.78[/STRIKE] 1934.52, BUS = [STRIKE]9769.76[/STRIKE] 8714.98)
    Challenge = Debt at 31/01/12 = £25k. 2011 Payments = £1,944.19/£24,403.84

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!
