Just popping by to see how you are as it's unusual for you not to be about.

Hi all - just a quick one. My computer moniter decided to give up the ghost on Tuesday afternoon - so cant get on until next week some time - arrgghh!

Just nipped on at work quickly so will catch up properly next week, hope everyone is ok and hopefully will be able to crack on with the housework while Ive got no computer this weekend x x x

Morning all - got the computer back yesterday earlier than expected so Im pleased although it cost £35.00 to get it fixed grrr!

Mortgage and a few debt payments have gone out of my account making it look very poorly but most of the big bills have been paid so cant complain.

Have a day of housework planned today - have even made a list which is a good start!

Only got the toy corner to do and that is the living room finished which is the week target I gave myself so all good stuff!

This weeks one is the hall which will only take a couple of days at the most because there is not much to do there! We have a ledge behind the front door where post gets dumped until someone (ie me) files it away. There are also about 12 pairs of shoes were I havent bothered putting them away and a few bags of stuff out the living room to go upstairs. Then I will hoover the rugs, mop the floor, clean the doors/stair-rails/radiator/skirting boards etc etc. Will also do the front door and the window next to it - that will keep me out of trouble for today.

Going to update sig as I have finally paid off 30% of debt - got to pay off another 1500 or so to have paid a 1/3 of the debts off.

Hi Penguin..well done on paying 30% off..that's great.Also well done on the housework.You must feel better that you are getting there with it.I really don't know where to start with mine..lol...it's cleanish but I do need to declutter and deep clean it.
Will have to devise a plan of action.

Its a nightmare Taxi! I do enjoy now the living room being so sparkly but I hate housework and do the bare minimum to keep the house hygenic! I have found this more of a struggle than cutting back on spending.

I need lists to do anything so if you are someone who gets deep satisfaction from ticking things off then make a list! I used to do very vague ones like tidy living room, tidy kitchen etc and it took ages to tick anything off so now I have a more detailed one on the computer of the daily and weekly things to do - that way even doing the dishes or putting a wash on gets something ticked off the list - sad I know! x x

I'm the same..lol..enough to be hygenic..lol..may go with writing the lists idea so I can tick stuff off.Doing the dishes and the washing I manage to keep on top off.It's paperwork that drives me nuts here.

Hi penguin, how's the hall looking?
