Thanks for the coffee Rach
And thanks for the Juliejim
I have updated my siggy (no more ostrich behaviour) and have set up future, extra payments to the Debenh4ms one which I assume is most expensive, interest wise - but one give me and APR and one a monthly rate and I don't know how to compare them properly - cos I bet it's not as simple as multiplying the monthly by 12!

How does everyone else find the time to get these things done when working? Do you just leave the bigger, more time consuming jobs until your not working?

Jackie

Level 1!

But I have also cleared clutter - less to dust...

and HHC - but use them for what you HATE - otherwise I do what I like doing most and leave the grotty jobs. I also have what I call my priority jobs..bit like a daily list - Tag does that - so I always have a cleaning routine with bathroom, kitchen and bed changes on Fridays as a priority. I don't have a Mount Ironmore beause I like ironing...I won't tell you what I rarely do because and she'll add it to the list!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

You know how I love to be different.. well... I got one feelign it might help with my wrist/hand pain and it contained high levels of nickel and I came out in a massive rash...

That would so be me!!! I painted the back of all the non magnetic parts with clear nail varnish to make sure I didn't get a rash!!!:T

Morning all

It's a lovely day gain, although chilly to start with, two loads of washing out on the line.

Vacuumed through downstairs. Prepped veggies and I've got the roast dinner started.

Hope everyone's OK

Seeing your dictionary pigpen, I thought of a few of our own:

bogolaise - spaghetti bolognaise
squiggles - squirrels
hocum pops - cocoa pops
I've got a flat - my shoelace is undone
rudeboy tea - rooibos (redbush) tea
electrics - currants
pillies - pillows
bobash - deodorant

I'm sure there must be more - incidentally, most of these are things my OH says, and he's just wierd, so quite often I have to get him to translate what he means, particularly on shopping lists. lol

Jackie - quite simply we don't always get it done! !!ducks from whatever Pigpen has just thrown at me}. I'm fine at completing lists until life happens which it invariably does - children are ill, i've got exams, I have to work, I want to have a nervous break down but don't have time etc. For me, it's a case of little and often and a lot of support from people on here when i've (frequently) had enough! This week my house has gone to pot because I have exams tomorrow and hopefully i'll catch up next week. Just stick with level 1 and see how you go. Good luck!

So far today i've done another bed in the garden. I'm just doing little bits at a time so it's not so daunting. I've also got a washing load on the line.

At the moment i'm printing out the 600 pages of casestudies. I've got to print one page at a time as i'm doing it back to back to save paper. It's taking forever! Is there a quicker way when you have a bog standard computer like me? The sun is shining outside and I don't want to be at the computer. So far i've done 180 pages! :mad: xx

Forgot what was on my list.....

• Dishes Done 1 lot, will do another when I've finished breakfast.
• [STRIKE]Ironing away[/STRIKE]
• Finish laundry loads
  • Towels
  • [STRIKE]Dust sheets[/STRIKE]
  • Cleaning cloths
  • DD's stuff when she gets home (it'll probably stink of cats again)
• Make DD's bed.
• Asda run - I need to pick up a couple of things I forgot, some fruit and I'm going to get a cooked chicken
• Meet DD around 3.39 from the station and no doubt hand around until Ex's train arrives about 4.10
• Go see Johanne
• Tea
• Bath DD
• Stuff out for tomorrow
• Update finances
• Bed by 9.30pm-10pm
• anything else that comes up...

I think I'm going to run the hoover around downstairs once I've put the next lot of washing out, oh and put the breakmaker on :rolleyes: :wave:

just wondering mudbath if you could set it to print all the odd pages first then put the paper in back to front and do all the even ones or something?
