Morning all, no list today Sophiesmum?
Hope everyone is having a great Sunday.
Today i am combining my boring mundane jobs that aren't exactly dfw but are my jobs that keep me productive:rotfl: so will be adding them;) Especially the boring household chores because i fear the dirt is going to eat me alive, especially as no one else seems to be able to see it:eek:;) If i have to slog away at them then they are going on the list!!
So today's list:
-Partner is insisting on having the heating on so i have sneakily turned it down!!
-I have got one load of washing on a low temp and will do another load later
-Clothes will be hung on the radiators that i am forced to have on!!
-I have been looking at using up my clubcard vouchers and am really chuffed. I have £50 in vouchers which is worth around £200 in clubcard deals. However the hawk flying expereince day is too far from me and almost £20 more expensive than the one near to me!! However i recently booked a room in London for me and a girlfriend for only £19 and have just checked and found that if i use only £15 in vouchers we can go on a cruise down the Thames, go to Shakespeare globe theatre and visit London zoo. Am well chuffed as these are all things i really wanted to do. :j
-I am going to check on travel lodge and see if i can book another room for another date for me and my partner, it will be our seven year anniversary in April so it would be nice to go to London for that and i can use the vouchers that i have left for other things i would like to do there.:D
-So will check out other things possible in London that i can use the vouchers for
-Transfer £5 of the vouchers into wine vouchers, they only get doubled up, however they run out at the end of the month, so something is better than nothing
-I am off to create another financial plan and budget, ideally after Christmas we would like to stop taking foreign student but i need to work out how much i need to earn etc to make that possible
-Look for some more bookies to set up and place matched bets, need to make as much money as poss, in order to pay £400 off credit card by the end of the month
-So, hopefully place some matched bets
-Do any surveys i receive
-Do my daily clicks, haven't done them in a while
-Check freecylce for free things
-Check all schools in my local area and write out at least five addresses that i can send my posters to
-Sort out advertising material to take to college tomorrow to ask some of them to put posters up in their work place
-Sort out mystery shops for tomorrow
-look for more mystery shops
-Make meals from storecupboard
-Transfer £10 from current account into isa, from my pig money
-Print out some continuation sheets for my business
-Continue going on site for more business advice
-Find out and send off bursary form!!
-Do rough drafts for all three case studies
-Type up all three case studies so that i am up to date with my ear candling work and can do no more till treatments on Saturday
-Contact a friend regarding the fact that she needs to write a testimony regarding her ear candling treatments and do the same for another friend
-Work on and complete nvq homework
-Go over old homework that needs correcting and make corrections
-Scan on symbols onto computer and create more symbols for work
-Look at counselling assignment
-Email manager to inform him i can't get my key for voluntary work
-Tidy and sort out my bedroom
-Give fresh bedding to foreign student
-Strip and make my bed
-Clean both bathrooms
-dust whole house
-Hoover whole house
-Bleach the sink
-Clean and tidy kitchen table
-Mop kitchen floor!!
I think i need a lie down after writing all that:eek: Catch up with you all later:D:j Live on £4500, £2531/£4500:T 101 in 1001 (52/101):j:beer::j

Andan, your lists always exhaust me (and make me think I must be really lazy ha ha!!) but was intrigued by the last item....you're going to MOP the kitchen table!? Is that with a mop?!

Wow Andan, an even bigger list than usual
However, both Clubcard & Nectar say their expiry dates are not a problem. Nectar told me that they are obliged to put them (expiry dates) on but points do not expire if they're not spent.....
(Actually I can't remember if they replace the coupons, or just honour them though
)
I make smoothies in a liquidiser, bunging everything in, adding ice & leftover fruit juice and whizzing it up. Need the ice otherwise the mixture is too thick. Bananas thicken everything up and I always have leftover bananas :rolleyes:
Not been around these last few days. Went to DD's graduation, worked, saw real-life friends and was spending so too embarrassed to post
Anyway back to DFW:
Today I have/will:-
mystery shop - so lunch sorted

-
cleaning my house as it is depressingly messy & dirty, but using OS remedies

-
washed bedding, line dried

-
will plant the garlic and wallflowers (not together) that I bought

-
probably not find time to go to the gym



-
need to balance my accounts before some credit cards are due. I've almost paid off OH's car......

-
rehearsal this evening, so my social life will cost 20p


have a good one everybody.0 -

I'd use my fella's head if he had more hair on it, but alas a mop will have to do, although only just spotted my error, i will instead mop the floor:rotfl: If i am forced to do these horrible mundane jobs then their going on my list!! I didn't put down clean the kitchen, however that is the one room my partner does keep kind of clean!:rolleyes:
I did however seperate my lists, so the dfw ones are at the top, the other ones are just there mainly for my benefit so i can try and get everything achieved today, don't want you all thinking i am slacking:D so don't worry, ignore the lower ones just focus on the other ones.
Oliveoyl, wish i'd known that about the clubcard deals, i recenlty threw one away as it was only £2 voucher but didn't use it in time. Will prob still exchange it for wine though as i want to buy plenty in for Christmas!!:j Live on £4500, £2531/£4500:T 101 in 1001 (52/101):j:beer::j

Going christmas shopping today with BF so having lunch at Macdonalds- so that we can get the 2 for one cinema offer! Will save more than we spend in the long run, and get a nice artery clogging meal into the bargain! :beer:
Have vouchers to use in HMV,Boots,Debenhams etc so should be fairly cheap christmas shopping, and I'm leaving my cards at home so my best beloved will have to pay and I will give him my half after pay day! Also, his mum wants something from Molton Brown and I've found out tthat because i work in the same shopping arcade as the Molton Brown shop I can get a 10% discount! :j Not a huge saving, but better than a poke in the eye! :rotfl:0 -
