Hmmm I remember someone asking me last week about the A Payment A Day thread and silly me forgot to put the link up..

For whoever it was, I think it might have either been Tag or Greenbee http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1079175

It was me natty - thanks for the link I had forgotten all about it!!

skintscotslass - nice to hear that you are ok and enjoying life!!!

I do think mice are quite sweet but when they are skittering around the house it's a different matter (pooing and weeing constantly!) This morning I was wiping down the work surface because I wanted to make some bread. I moved the radio out of the way and one of the mice was behind it :eek: It ran out of the way across the work surface, and I'm ashamed to say I screamed . My two eldest were in hysterics (of laughter). It jumped on to the floor and is now (I think ) in the understairs cupboard. I have my suspicions that they live in the motor area of the fridge we don't use.

Thanks for the link - I'm printing off the instructions for that mousetrap as I type! Meanwhile before I make my bread I'm going to use my Flash bleach spray!!!

I'll lend you my cat...

hugged and comforted 3 sobbing children
made hubby remove the deceased bunny... :(:(:(

I got halfway to school and met DDs 1&2 coming back from school as DD2 had been sick so DD1 had brought her home..

What a f***ing morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aww (((hugs))) to you and your littlies...
and I hope your hubby is being a LOT more supportive...mine wasn't - partly why he ain't here no more...but sometimes I get so lonely:o I wouldn't have him back though - so if you're reading this, Mr Depp


ah well onwards and upwards - off to pick up 3 kids (I'll keep 1) from Dronfield again (where the policeman was stabbed t'other week - he's fine BTW) but must pop into Sainsbury's to see what I can buy for virtually nothing...

Evening all,
having one of those days when I havn't really stopped but looking around you'd think that I hadn't lifted a finger...very deflating!
Currently curled up in a chair with a tub of hagen daz and a couple of Twink's fab hobnobs..purely for restorative purposes of course

Monday Moobles- Living Room, Hall and Stairs
Level 1
[STRIKE]Vacuum floors and sofas [/STRIKE]Thankfully darling dad did that this morning so I'll just do my daily whizz around in a futile attempt to fight the never ending supply of dog hair that my lovely lab seems to deposit. If anyone is thinking of getting a black lab...wait till you can afford a cleaner too!!!!!!
Level 2
[STRIKE] Dusting, even if around everything [/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe [/STRIKE]
Clean TV, other electricals and cabinets
Clean the windows.. get up clean nets and curtains
Level 3

Put all your hotspots in one pile and work your way through it.. [/STRIKE]
Vacuum under furniture you can manage to move without hurting yourself
Extra Mission: Pick one or more of the following tasks –

1. HHI

3. Binbag dance.. Get a binbag.. fill it and bin it!!!
   
4. Wash any cushions, throws or curtains that need it
5. Sort through and empty my wardobe by the weekend, so that old wardobe can be dismantled. Start to slowly clear bedroom so new carpet can go down on saturday.!!!!!!!

My M.A.C.A.W challenge this week is..............Getting to bed by 11 each night and getting up by 8 the next morning. I seem to have soo much more energy when I do that.

Yes Kaz it is on details below

AnW'sMum + Miss A (8) and Mr W (5)
Valli + DD (12) would like to declare an interest BUT this is dependant on DS's football (Sunday afternoon league and/or whether Grandma would step in and do the 'cheering on' honours.) At the moment am unable to find out whether a game is scheduled for this date...
Michelle, DH, and Charlie (2), Sam (5 months) - we are definites. Can't believe i just got DH to say he would come too, and he will watch Charlie play so i can natter in peace!!!! Yay!!!! I've assured him that none of you are weird (or at least not any weirder than i am, which must have been some reassurance :rotfl: )
Juliejim, poss DH, DD (6) and DS (5)!

Kazmeister and poss DD(9) would like to declare an interest

COPY, PASTE AND ADD TO THIS POST NOW PLEASE...

Anyone else interested?

lil_me

It's official, we may have a lot of lights in this house (there is 9 needing bulbs just in the sitting room) most are multibulb things, but we have more spare bulbs than lights All sorted through now, going to put away in a better order so I can see what we have instead of buying more! A load of batteries too, inc a lot of C size ones, I don't think we own anything that takes them ?

toochoosey

i'm gutted, just realised, that i could have ordered the swimsuit from next through pigsback, oh well i know for next time!!!
does anyone else use pigsback, is it worth it and are the other cash back sites worth it, i know there are special boards for them i have looked at them but i am easily confused and don't like givig away too much info on the internet!!!
