    Hi everyone, thanks andan for starting the thread.
    mickymouse - you have reminded me I need to phone dentist for 2 fillings I was supposed to get in september but I missed the appointment because i was admitted to hospital (I would rather be in hospital a week than the dentist an hour).
    I went to see Bond last night then for a drink after, whole night out cost me £3 thanks to disability 2 4 1 cinema pass and OH paying anyway, even used his car and petrol. I only had to buy a drink, he even bought pick and mix.
    I then tried to stay up for US elections but fell asleep on the sofa about half one, good result anyway.
    Today I plan to
    - blitz clean the house, or especially downstairs DONE!!!
    - then go into town and post an ebay parcel Posted 2 since another buyer has paid since
    - only cook storecupboard meals today, potentially batch cook if I am in the mood (think I might be) failed!
    - ooops, get some cash in town to pay the childminder, will leave me totally skint for rest of November now my tenants in 2 investment flats are claiming HB I cant get rental money yet until claim has gone through Paid few weeks upfront
    - chase up the HB, especially for one tenant who is having problems with HB, might have to threaten with eviction to hurry HB up, nip into court in town to see how I go about it EMAILED THEM,called in office and got someone investigating, to phone up tomorrow for update
    -have a quick bath and groom session, I feel like a right mess.done
    - go to council organised bonfire tonight for the amazing fireworks and take my camera/tripod etc to get some decent piccies.Failed, saved on petrol but went to pub instead
    - dont know what else but sure I will post later
    Done a wash load on 30, mainly tea towels, dishcloths etc, so more money saving I am not buying more dishcloths (used to use them disposable floor wipes etc pre LBM)

    Morning!
    Feeling a bit fed up today - lots of work stuff and am a bit daunted by having to be away for the majority of the next two weeks in India and Poland. Roll on Xmas!!

    Anyway, here's today's list....

    have free lunch at work with clients
    have tea from storecupboard
    walk dog for free exercise
    do Mr S on line shop (didn't get round to this last night but there's footie on tonight so will defo do it!)
    washing and airer drying
    ask my mum if she can bring the dog back to me after my travels when she comes to visit - saves us both a trip in petrol (about 250 miles so worth doing!)
    be nice to my OH cos I was a right grumpy cow yesterday!

    That's all for today
    Have a good one!
  • tonight i will be making up a flask of tea and sitting at the top of the downs to watch the whole or worthings fireworks for free!!!
