Eek Ive been discovered and moved now too - must be moving up in the world!

Wol - how are you doing hunny? Just call my pyrotechnic queen!

Mum - thank you very much for your encouragement - I have the amazing ability to focus on the things going wrong instead of enjoying the things that arent!

Im back at work tomorrow so have a massive list of things I must do today - Im putting it in black and white and then I have broken the laws of DFW if I dont do them! :eek:

- washing out to dry in the garden as its a lovely sunny day.
- sweep and mop hall
- complete ECA for first OU course
- start budget for 24/03 - 21/04
- put a white wash on or DD will have no shirts for tomorrow!
- make some Store cupboard lunch
- help DS set up his new toys - I strongly suspect I will have no problems completing this one and will probably spend most of the day doing this!

Right onwards and upwards - will be back later, hope every is enjoying the sun (if you have any!) xx

Hi all - hope everyone is well. Computer had a virus and I have been computerless for the past few days :eek: No t'internet or anything - nightmare!

Not a huge amount going on here - have about 75.00 to last until Tuesday but all shopping in and all bills paid (our month starts next Tuesday so if the 75.00 is still there on Monday I will be paying it off one of the cards!

Need to work on budget for next month before Tuesday - its all saved on the puter so have felt like my arm has been cut off!

Kids and OH fine, work fine and another OU assignment due in on the 27th so will need to get working on that.

Maintained at Slimming this week which I was pleased with as I had been very naughty last week with it being DS's birthday and having a few days off work. Back on it 100% this week though as I really want to lost those 3lbs to get my 3stone award.

Back soon hopefully with something a bit more exciting! x x x

Sorry to hear about your computer playing up mine has been bad as well.Nipped to the computer shop and he told ne there's loads of viruses about at the mimute!!!
Everything is sounding great at your end and can't be bad if you have money left over at the end of the month.

mum2one

Your doing brilliantly to have money left at the end of the period, hope u get the computer sorted.

Morning all - computer is working well thank god but has been completely wiped. All my spreadsheets and work stuff was backed up thank god but OH has got to reinstall word and excel so cant do anything at the mo and have an OU assignment due in on Friday and our month starts on Tuesday and havent done budget yet! Will have to handwrite everything for now and if it comes to it I can type my assignment at work and submit it from there but it will mean staying late which I really dont want to do!

Have a busy list for today but really want to get through as much of it as I can so I can relax a bit tomorrow

- washing (3 loads to do)
- dry on line
- clean/ tidy all downstairs rooms (living room, dining room, study, hall, kitchen)
- work on budget
- work on assignment
- make stew for tea


I know there is loads more to do that I have forgotton about but Im sure it'll come to me! Kids will be 'helping' meaning it will take twice as long but they enjoy it!

Still have 64.00 in the account as a DD has come out for Monday so looking like I will be able to pay that off one of the debts - yeay!

See you all later - have a great day everyone xx

That's a good list. My heart always sinks when the children say 'can we help' as you know you'll get through it faster on your own. How's the neddy?

Hi Penguin 83,

What OU course are you doing? How do you find it so far?

I have managed to do one load of washing today and get it dried on the washing line. Should manage to get another load done tomorrow though. Haven't managed to have a NSD today though - went to the garden centre to buy tomatoes and grow bags
