    Ignoring the list and doing what needs doing....:D
    • [strike]Shiny sink [/strike]- I've missed this a few times recently and it's surprising how *manky* it makes me feel when I come in and there's stuff left not dried up, or worse, not washed up ::shudders::
    • [strike]Clean down the countertops[/strike]
    • Mop floor
    • [strike]Clean loo[/strike]
    • [strike]S+S bathroom[/strike]
    • [strike]Put dried washing away[/strike] - including that huge heavy throw that's been airing on the boiler cupboard door for five days to get dry....
    • Buy a new folding airer - the last one broke under too much wet washing :o
    • [strike]Dinner from meal plan [/strike](pasta, spicy salami in tomato sauce)
    Reward for doing this (or at least for doing most of it)...

    Put up the :xmastree: (I love my tree, don't use any other decorations, just the tree)

    Yay! It's December! I bought the last two pressies tonight - all I have to do now is wrap them all and write a few cards.

    Hope you've all had a good Monday :beer:

    Strange day at the office. Got a phone call from my previous site

    But, hey, as long as the invoices get paid, I guess I don't care that much (I do - but I need to be professional!)

    Oooh, Soappie - I know what you mean about the invoices getting paid, but what about your sanity??? Hope it goes OK and works the way you want it to... take care hun, you are obviously very popular :A

    Great news emily, sounds like everythings going better for you both. Really pleased for you!

    DS2s just made himself sick, literally put his fingers down his throat, now he either is ill or he wants to get out of going tomorrow (change of what they are doing ie Romans, has set him off on one) anyway, he did this last week before Beavers after crying about it then was fine (the week before they went somewhere different) so going to see how he goes. He knows the only way he gets to stay off is being ill.....but now I have said he will still have to go tomorrow he's not impressed. I'll feel awful if he is really ill but at the mo, I don't think he is.

    :o all this new phone chat, I am useless with them, give me a laptop and a basic mobile any day, suppose that is why I got my mini notebook and mobile BB, don't think I could cope with it on a phone....

    Right, banking stuff, just plodding through some transfers realised I'd done quite a few so should write them in the accounts books.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
