    Not a great deal out- did make a trip to the tip on Monday and was able to rid myself of all the junk from in the boot. 3 blacksacks, empty paint tins (4), and a huuuuuge bag of recycling.
    In: just food which will be eaten.
    I have started doing the flylady thing on here but not posting on it. I have to say that it's taken me 2 days to do Mondays list and will probably take me Wed/Thurs to do Tuesdays. I then have to complete the other days lists on Thursday and Friday. I find I don't have the time when I'm on nights because I'm so knackered when I get home in the morning I just go to bed. I'm up at 3 to get the kids and then spend the rest of the day running round.
    Today I got up as soon as the alarm went off at 3 instead of 10 mins snooze. Went downstairs and made a coffee and toast while I wiped things down. Rushed to get DD, then had to sort DS as he was wobbling about starting rugby club (he's never played it before), shot off and got bread etc etc. I didn't go to bed when DH got in and I found I got a lot more done. In a minute I'm going to shift my lazy hide and go looking for some boxes as I need some at home to put DH's games consoles in the loft. I will not have them cluttering up my bedroom any longer but he won't get rid of them.
    So far, his side of the bed has remained fairly clear where I started the clearance. I have a long way to go yet though!
    Debt: 16/04/2007:TOTAL DEBT [strike]£92727.75[/strike] £49395.47:eek: :eek: :eek: £43332.28 repaid 100.77% of £43000 target.

  • today has been a good out day.

    one trip to the tip consisting of the contents of a corner unit which has hada tv on top of it for three years so I opened it and chucked the lot, hubby took it straight to the tip, no going back.

  • The last few days:

    Out: 3 bags of rubbish. 3 items of clothing back to shops for refunds. Panic buying without trying isn't a good idea!!

    In: Pantene freebie, some cans of Pepsi.
  • In:
    x4 Christmas Presents
    New rear windscreen wiper for car
    Bread and milk

    Out:
    Old rear windscreen wiper for car
    Recycling bin & general house hold bin
    Cleaned bathroom = threw away some old suntan lotion, other nearly empty bottles (that I was never likely to use up) but did rinse out containers and put in recycling.

    Pending:
    Gifts for OH mom for festive church raffle (still :o)
    Charity bag to shop that was left outside and not collected earlier this week
