Afternoon everyone,

After another very unproductive day, gah why do I have these days I am feeling a bit more positive as I have just listed my debts, started on the payment a day challenge and printed off a couple of letters to creditors, as well as sorted out my grocery challenge payment for last week (I went a bit mad!). Although I have just managed to break one of my nails and it peeled right off. So I now have a finger that looks like I have bitten my nail, and the rest of the fingers have nice shaped nails :rolleyes:

I am now going to have my shower, get dressed and pop to Asda for a couple of things, drop off my prescription at the Dr's and then make a start on my list:

Hi all

Another wasted day here today.

I dropped Ds1 off at school this morning then popped to the market . I reversed my car then stalled. I couldn't restart it.:mad: The starter motor has gone again:mad: . I was at an angle blocking at least 6 parking spaces on the busiest day of the week. Luckily the car park attendant was there and pushed me back a bit out of the way.

I phoned OH who was annoyed at being disturbed but he came and pushed me and it started again. I drove to the garage but they were fully booked until next week and he wanted £90 plus 3 hrs labour for a recon one:eek: .

I went to OH's house and was talking to the plasterer who used to be a mechanic and he said if i get the part he'd fit it. So, i phoned around and found one for £35 + VAT. I asked if it was in stock and he said yes.

So off i went to pick it up 15miles away. I get there and the bloke seemed put out to get off his bum and serve me:rolleyes: . I asked for the part, he went to look for it and then told me it wasn't there , he said it was on the computer but not actually there:mad: :mad: :mad: so he's ordered me one that i have to go and pick up later. Annoyed isn't the word for it:cool:

And just to top it all off i have a migrane, i've taken some nurofen + which have taken the edge off it but it's still there.

So i haven't done a thing again.:rolleyes:

Pigpen i'm glad the teacher took it seriously.

Hi folks,

I have (for once) managed to read from where I left off yesterday!!

Last night, made chicken korma and rice for dinner, from the roast chicken left over from Sunday's roast chicken, so 2 meals out of a small chicken for 2 of us I am quite happy with.

Unpacked DW, which I ran over night.
Clean sides in kitchen
Swept kitchen floor
Dropped repeat prescription at dr's.

It is overcast here and starting to rain.

Hugs all round

Morning ladies!




Well, it's a grey old day out there today.

Daily list:
[STRIKE]Spray bathroom with bleach spray
[/STRIKE]Feed the cat at least twice
Sort and delete emails
reply to emails
Complete an hours click thrus
Do pending surveys
Do at least 30 mins STP - keep failing on this one

Extras:
Tidy my bedside table
Get cheque book and BS book up to date - still avoiding this one
[STRIKE]Dust TV and comp screen [/STRIKE]
washed sink in bathroom (sounds like nothing, but it will be a really big deal for me to do that!)
find some rubber chicken/turkey recipes for dinner
continue to look for recipes lost when puter imploded.
file 10 more peices of paper from my desk
[STRIKE]write complaint email[/STRIKE]
make Drs appt for me.
Ring the plumbers boss

I am sure someone else answered the mould in the bathroom thing, but I find spraying the tiles and wall with a diluted mix of bleach and water after every shower seems to keep that mould at bay. I use it on the bottom of the shower curtains too. If I could find Stardrops, I would use that I imagine. In the old bathroom I used to scrub between the tiles with a toothbrush and neat bleach and leave it on for 10 mins before rinsing.

*Hugs* to all and hope you all have a good day flying!
