    Watched JC and really enjoyed it :D

    Am going to try and write my list of good things now so I get it in before midnight - and I'll try not to cry whilst doing it :o

    suzif1973 :xmastree: - welcome (to the madhouse!!)

    I've added the tree so our leader pigpen will notice and add you to the list.

    Already done... I'm not quite as incompetent as first impressions lead others to believe... ;)

    I decluttered a packet of jaffa cakes and a bag of chinese chicken from the freezer.. I now feel sick and am off to my nest.

    I also discovered by NOT cleaning out Hazels litter tray she has been outside to poop!!! The things I do!! lol

    another load in the TD and another load in the WM ..

    I have a few bits to dangle on radiators that are working intermittantly.. ie when we go refill the system!.. so stuff is slowly drying.

    Nest time.. see you all in the mooning.. lumi-light thing set to wake me at.. 10am... but if I go to bed now I'll like as not be up by then anyway..

    3 pj days left before school!

    Frodders - Isn't it funny how we both put breaking arm / wrist as one of the good things that have happened. It's certainly changed my outlook too. Now, if you'd asked me at the time if I'd have found it that positive the answer would have been NO NO and more NO!!!

    Greenbee and Soappie - we have a book problem here too. Three floor to ceiling bookshelves in the dining room, one floor to ceiling bookshelf on the landing, two in dd's room, one in ds's room and three in study - all full. I've been given £80 of booktokens for my birthday and i'm really struggling as to whether to regift / sell them for paying off the card or going and buying a load more books! Difficult! xxx

    Argh DP is driving me insane wanting another dog, he's missing Megan and hasn't stopped looking at other dogs today. Seems to have decided against fostering as he'll want to keep them. I must admit it's really strange having just 1 dog, Luke's missing the company, but don't know if I want another FT commitment. Darn him for sending me photos of cute labrador pupsicles!

    :o sorry to those with bathroom books but it's something I hate, DP has a library in there sometimes and it drives me mad!

    AnW'sMum just tried it, that doesn't work either, it did work last year but don't think I have been on since. However I emailed someone the hols list as we use their school for swimming so she's emailing it back to me as I didn't save it and lost the paper I took it from, like everything else

    Been in the bath, feel a bit better, cleaner and moisturised :D Going to do some accounts stuff now...boring!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    DFW diary updated.. it is looking so much better than it did last year..

    The Sony card is the next one to be killed off on my hitlist.. £1000 to pay off ASAP.. My old card has expired and my new card is going to be cut up and binned in about 2 minutes! I need to delete the details off my paypal as well.

    My BHS storecard is no longer valid either so I can chop that up and bin that too.. that'll be 4 cards out of my purse! (one is hubbys)

    That should be the end of my bank account decluttering! lol.. I'll be down to 3 debit cards which I can only use if the money is in the accounts..

    Johanne - hope you feel better soon. Glad OH is helping!

    Pigpen
    - well done on the debt reduction. It's certainly not taken you very long - I hope you are very proud of yourself.

    lil_me - Hard decision regarding getting another dog. There are certainly some days when I wish we only had one . . . but then . . . Murphy does something so funny that I can't imagine going back to only one. I suppose that doesn't help you any, does it LOL

    My update:

    [strike]Grocery List
    Grocery shop[/strike]

    Recycle
    [strike]Change flowers in entry[/strike]
    Get 2009 budget stuff sorted: loan repayment list; spreadsheet for keeping track of spending.
    Get business end of month stuff up to date
    Business Invoicing
    [strike]Buy new CD for OH [/strike]
    Maybe make spaghetti - or at least [strike]get everything needed to make spaghetti[/strike]
    and actually do the job tomorrow!!

    Oh, and change siggy!!!
    And do the blardy ironing!

    List is getting shorter . . . :D

    pigpen you're doing great, I do have one CC now to do my own credit rating repair (which must be working as I also have a grown ups account now :o ) , I pay it off monthly (full balance) use it like a cashcard putting money down as gone out of the account as soon as I spend it.
    Denise that doesn't help no lol, we went from one, which we were happy with, then 2 when Holly came, then 3 with Megan, then 2 when Holly was fostered then 1 again when we lost Megan. So DP says it's my fault all of us, including Lu, got used to having more than one dog. I think DP might have a point with the fosters, I don't know if I could hand them back :o

    Anyone live near Middlesex :rotfl: because if I did decide to get one, that's where they are, don't think any of us would be up for a 10 hour drive (5 each way!) in one day.....I do have a friend in Surrey....see it's bad as I am considering it :o
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
