Ola everyone
Its sunny here woo hoo, been up since six writing - when you start dreaming about it, surely its bad.

Today

Younglings working at house work (bad mother, bad mother)
Hoovering done
Polishing done
Doing windows now
Bed to make (visitor coming otherwise we don't clean, its bad for the environment)
Washing on line
Washing out cupboard
Washing on - 30o
Car to clean (why do we live like little piggies)
Before work job done, all coos present and correct, sheep disinterested
Bathroom cleaned!
Tea done for later will ask DS to bake something for later
Pal from plane at 3pm
Working from home, much to the amusement of my supervisor, as I have only just let on its the school holidays, so got a 'you'll be working from home?!? call) lol if only he lived on this planet
Banking to check
Need make a plan for later in hols, thinking of going away, but thinking we can't justify the expense (£200+ before we even buy a cup of tea to get on and off the island - but hey its nice here) we live in a holiiday desitination??
Convincing children that a trip away means lots of travel and less treats?!?
Does this mean I have promised treats, must look in the manual and figure out how to get out of that one.

Hoping for a low spend couple days, but visitors often means thats not the case - waving to you all!!

I have sparkles, list envy and good motivation this week, need to get literature finished (how long have I been saying that for??) Goodluck everyone - 10.30ish and over 10 posted already!!!! xxxxxx

PS big hugs to those, ill, eaten by naughty lawn mowers or just having a bit of bad luck......

Not too much if I'm honest.

Walking home from work tonight;
Dinner is some pakora, bhajis and samosas from a £5 Iceland party pack (and I'm having a party all on my own with some DVDs a friend gave me a loan of this week) - the pack of indian food should last about 4 nights!
Will enter some comps too

Forgot to add:

Flowers from garden instead of buying some (there are some there somewhere........)
Bit essential oil in water sprayed in car to make it smell nice rather than febreeze at £2.19 eeeeeek which I just didn't buy in shop

Milk and butter - otherwise a NSD - will go and be productive now - honest!

Some very long lists today, looks like i have some contendors for the long list.

Bagpuss, once again, thanks for the book, look forward to receiving it

Piquant, i trully feel for you and the migraine. As a fellow migraine sufferer i know how frustrating and time consuming they are, its annoying when you loose time like that.

Fay, can't believe the WTFC people, those organisations are so irritating, that must be so annoying, they need to make up their minds what their doing and realise their working with people!!

Savingforarainyday, its easy selling on amazon, you just have to input the isbn number and it has on the info there for you. I have sold a fair bit on there, you get more than you would on ebay, but they charge a standard price for postage and packaging so bare that in mind for heavier books.

Well, was rather annoyed, i have been cutting down on gas and electricity usage and even spent the whole evening the other day with not putting the gas or elec on, only to find that when i inputted my details, i have used the same amount as i did the week before, so all that cutting down for nothing!!
