Good morning, you are all so busy.
It was cold here first thing this morning, but it is now a lovely crisp day.
So today I will post ebay item
Check ebay I have 2 items finishing today.
Photograph a couple more items to go on.
Still have the "how to sell the books" dilema, so I have decided to pop into town tomorrow and see the man on the market, before I actually list them.
I will tidy my office/conservatory/ironing room and show it my fluffy duster:rotfl:
(how is that moneysaving you ask. Well if it isn't tidy i lose bills that need paying and stuff that needs doing.)
I will check on-line banking
Washing on airer/ under covered way outside
I will do a little bit of ironing and put it away:eek:
Dinner from freezer
Have a lovely day folks:D
Ps welcome Little Charlie

Good Afternoon All :hello:
I only read yesterday, and wasn't able to post. And today due to a power cut (surge?) we've been without t'internet, followed by lots of "catching up"
You've all been very busy, and I like to copy lots of ideas from this thread - microwave will be turned off when I get home
Well after all your generous posting advice on Monday, and with the urging of OH, as from 1st November I'm a member of the local gym. :beer: Not only unlimited Gym/Spa/Classes/Swimming, but also when DD or OH are home they can have a 7 day guest pass. (3 per year) So as from next week, my list should include visiting the gym at least 3 times a week - nag me if it doesn't.
Today I have/will:- brought in lunch HM bread & HM lentil soup. Tonights supper, from the freezer is HM meatballs

- charged phone at work
- really horrid weather last night, so I'll go to the old gym (3 days left) tonight, though this is prob my last visit before my MS assignment membership expires.
- signed up for a MS on Friday - easy one done in my lunchtime. And I'll look for more.
- Do on-line banking - and update signature I promise.
- Pack up item sold on e-bay. Not yet paid, but there may be a cheque waiting for me at home.
- Prepare more e-bay items for the 5p listing day.
- A NSD

I'm envious cos I used to like getting my kids out in the snow for snowman making and the like. It's such cheap entertainment and such a special thing to do with them.:D 0 - brought in lunch HM bread & HM lentil soup. Tonights supper, from the freezer is HM meatballs

Hot pot for 45 peeps is now sorted and I have peeled so many potatoes today that I have a blister on my peeling hand:rotfl: (56lb and another 10lbs of onions) but at least I can take it easy on Friday now as it is all prepared and waiting patiently in the freezer.
