    I've just booked my slot for the next sale, I got 5:30pm tomorrow night :j :j so I need to allow a couple of hours today to go through the catalogue and decide what I want/need and then cross lots of it off the list again so I don't get into debt before the new year :rolleyes: :D

    • Sort present for mum and dad
    • Sort bike for ds
    • Deliver grandparents card
    • Food shopping
    • Clean piglets
    • Clean car out
    • Buy car tax
    • Sort school milk account for ds
    • Pay in various cheques etc
    • Wrap all parcels
    • Make mince pies
    • Ironing
    • Deliver neighbours cards
    • Check I've got all presents that are needed
    • Chase up Wilkos ... still not received order ??
    • Buy spare batteries
    I will add tonnes more to this list no doubt, but for now at least I can see some of the things I ought to be getting on with ;):D

    Wow. I really am tired just looking at that! Just started to hear my stomach rumbling too, so ... what do you know, I'm not going to do anything off my list, I'm going to make my lunch! I'm also going to try to do the Will Hill offer you mentioned yesterday - you're very motivating, Benben :)

    Yep! You're right. My timing is not of the best any more when it comes to matched betting. Thats one of my resolutions for the new year - I let m.b.ing lapse over the summer and never got back into it, but its *so* profitable for the time you take on it, I just *have* to. Ah well, lesson learned. Thanks for the post :)

    Hey BB, sorry about today, it's manic here!! We're desp trying to finish DD's room as I'm determined to have it done for Xmas. Then we have to pop to see OH's sister as she's flying off somewhere 2moro and not back til boxing day, (she's an air hostess for Virgin) so we wanted to see her before xmas. Forgot about that yest!! lol

    We're out 2moro night for brother's birthday, but I'll be here after 5 on Tues?

    If not we can do something after xmas, I'm free on the 28th.

    Re Wilkos ~ I picked mine up last wk, they were slow though!

    Hi Tigz, I think I'm okay for tuesday, we're seeing friends during the day but am fairly sure we're free later on, will aim for 6ish if thats okay? We won't stop, just drop off and then see some lights ;):D

    Okay, plan of action for the start of this week:

    today = getting indoors sorted, washing, ironing, cleaning etc
    tomorrow = food shop, finish presents shopping
    tuesday = catching up with friends day

    Indoors is slowly coming together, I've filled two bin liners already so progress must be being made ;) Xmas just seems to make sooo much clutter :rolleyes: Its cos everything gets moved to accomodate the tree, so nothing can be put away properly.I hate it messy :D
