    4. [strike]Sit down with a cuppa and do NOTHING for half an hour[/strike] – OH did this, he’s been there ages and then got up made the tea and sat down again, I think he’s been glued to the computer all day as he was on it when I left and on it again when I got home and it only got removed off the table while we ate and its now back again!!

    Oh kaz that made me roar:rotfl::rotfl:I left 'the list' again this morning before i went to work with a big 'feel free to fill ya boots' message at the top. And, then next to the do nothing one I put -

    Your very good at this one and no doubt it'll be the one thing off the list that you choose:rotfl: Funnily enough he made the tea as well. As he has every night for the last 4 weeks to be fair.:T

    Looks like they're twins again:rotfl:

    Chunky - no not umbrella company, DH works for a big construction firm but he is home based so I do his expenses and mileage - £1k for the last two months so important it happens on time. Good job we have a credit card. I am straight self employed so my stuff just goes on my SA form.

    ahhh i see, did you get real nervous at being SE, i am bricking it what if i mess up etc... I have decided to try and get on a book keeping course although i know the basics i am a little rusty not done it for 4 years. we do have an accountant and i have to know what i am doing lol i hate not knowing!!! Also as its IT we could land in a category known as IR35 now thats scary sh*t but i suppose its a learning curve and after a while i will get used to it , anyway i guess by now you have realised as well as having to know everything i am also a nosey beggar too :rotfl: :D

    Have I made a typo? - bet I was thinking of a chippy tea lol

    Not that I like chips! I am so odd me - don't like choccy cake, chips (very much) (but I do eat them a bit..) or ice cream!

    S'how I keep that figure!

    What's an umbrella company? (says the lady who did a 2 year business studies course - mind you that was before microsoft)
    cos I sure as hell bet they don't make brollies :rotfl:

    Flyladyflower – I hope you aren’t up that early every day !! you’ll put us all to shame

    Fraid so, hubby leaves for work even earlier now so we're up at 5am every day - have always got up with him - blame my mum for starting THAT practice - she used to do it with my dad and then me copying when I was learning how to be a good wife... ha ha, those were the days - I was a bit stepford wife then I think!!!:rotfl: - no longer tho, more wayne & waynetta than stepford wife now!

    And now I can't lay in or go back to sleep when he gets up as I'm wide awake - keep aiming to go back to bed but by the time you've done a couple of things it's time to get DS up, etc so it just never happens....
    LLLLLooooonnnnngggg lay in at weekends tho! :D
