Benbens moneymaking adventure

Evening all Another hectic day here, 10p on the scratchcards this morning, 5p from pigsback :rolleyes:
I collected ds from school, walked home, made dinner, got him changed and walked back to his school for a skills workshop evening. The actual workshop was pretty dull but ds was really really well behaved :j

O2 sent me a phone bill today which i'm really narked about as i phoned and cancelled my contract over a month ago :rolleyes: i will call them tomorrow and sort that out :mad:
Right, off to the land of nod, see you all tomorrow

Aaagh, I haven't posted for two days :eek: Well at last the weekend is here, the finger still hurts and it got bumped at school yesterday and I cried

I have decided that tonight I must get up to date with all the housework so that we can enjoy the weekend. I feel completely out of control at the moment, partly cos my finger is meaning its taking me ages to do stuff at the moment, partly cos I still feel lost moneywise, but also as we've been out every night this week I just haven't stayed on top of everything, so theres a huge list coming up which I need to try and work through tonight :rolleyes: and hopefully then I'll start to feel a bit more like normal

• Clear washing pile
• Ironing
• Clean bathroom
• Take rubbish out
• Clean kitchen floor
• Load dishwasher / switch on
• Sort paperwork pile
• Rehome all ds toys that are currently camping out in the lounge back into his bedroom :rolleyes:
• Clean guinea pigs
• Clean bedrooms
• Hoover through

I do have several other jobs to be done over the weekend but thats enough for tonight

Blimey BB... surely having a broken finger means you can just put your feet up with a nice bar of choccie???

Was wondering where you were.... glad you're ok, if a little sore with the finger. OH broke his not so long ago - hugs xxx

Blimey....all on a Friday night, you are good!;) Mind you I've been busy too - strimmed front and back garden, attempted to cut the front with lawnmower but smoke came out of it so gave up:D Then I made up all my tubs of flowers - did 11, planted some tomato seeds, fed 4 girls and baked a chocolate cake as it's eldest's birthday tomorrow....

Tired now.....:p

Well done you, I'm too sleepy to make a list!

could you maybe cut down the ironing a wee bit while your finger's sore? to the stuff that is REALLY wrinkled!

Have a feeling those last two jobs will have to wait til the morning now; have spent the last hour playing with ds and the guinea pigs, then getting ds to bed. I think he's nearly gone off now, tonight is the first night for months I haven't had to stay with him til he's asleep, he actually told me to go and get on with my jobs :rolleyes: :rotfl: Its because he's desperate to go for a train ride tomorow, so I told him he has to go straight to sleep, think he can't wait

benbenandme

Think I might get into bed with a cup of tea, laptop and some choccy (the milk in the choccy and tea is needed for the calcium for my bones ), and have a mooch around the boards for a bit of relaxing chill time.

Time for a quick list for the rest of the weekend first though

• train ride with ds tomorrow
• ironing
• sort paperwork
• ds homework x 2 (didnt do this weeks )
• ds spellings
• do all surveys in inbox
• update matched betting records
• find friends address and post new baby card
• put phone numbers into my new mobile
• food shopping
• do homework from parenting course :rolleyes:
• find ds goggles ready for lesson next week
• buy a proper bandage to protect finger at school

Think thats about it, I feel more organised already tonight just by tidying the place up and writing a list my head feels clearer

Forgot to mention, I have been terminated by AQA now as I haven't logged in for yonks, so decision made there and I haven't missed it at all yet tbh. Next weekend may be a mammoth moneysorting one as I will need to overpay the mortgage then ready for the beginning of June when the new mortgage kicks in

All surveys are done, lots of them had already closed but I managed to complete a few. One of them earned me 700 points which is about a fiver so was well worth doing

So much for a lie-in, we were both wide awake by 6.30 this morning, why does that never happen on a school day ? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
