Morning everyone.

I managed to have a lie in this morning which was nice.

I lay there thinking about what I wanted to get sorted this year. I retire in August so want a couple of debts paid by then. I have some money left after Christmas so paying a lump off my CC and continuing the payment a day challenge. The other debt has to be paid in full so some money going to save for that.

Shopping
Pay money into savings
Pay lump off credit card.
S&S
Clear coursework hotspot in wardrobe
Hoover and polish bedroom
Change bed.

Johanne Hope you feel better soon.

pigpen Well done on the debt reduction

juliejim Happy Birthday to your DD.:bdaycake:

Toots Will you add Jake to your list of furries.

Morning all

I've done a load of washing and hung it out, and it's frozen! I'll unpeel it from the line later and hang it up indoors. At least it's out of my way for a while...

Black bin has been emptied.

I've tidied out the medicine cupboard and my baking cupboard. Nothing to throw away but I did find DD2's stick blender and her honey and lemon cough medicine so she can have that next time she's here.

My hands are so cold it's hard to type.

I think I might have a go at another cupboard later, maybe the big one under the stairs where there are still bottles of lemonade and stuff I bought for Christmas and nobody drank.

Ok head still thumping but not quite as much as it was earlier, whoever it was sticking needles into my ears has thankfully stopped for now.

Going to go and try and do something else, maybe some washing up so I can see my sink again. DD1 is playing on the Wii, DS is on the Nintendo DS and DD2 is now on her playmat playing with her farm...well sort of playing on it.

I feel sick as well so maybe eating something would help :rolleyes: I was thinking about making bagels later.

Morning all,

I haven't caught up with the thread properly so i hope all is well.

Does anyone want to join me in a HHC 11.10-11.40?

I'm just going to do dailies and try and get my extras list down, it's getting stupid now:rolleyes:.
My MACAW is going to be doing my ironing every day unless there are 5 items or less in the basket. I cleared the basket again yesterday and now there are 5 items in there. I'm going to look for some dirty laundry as my washing basket is almost empty.

Morning all, I feel like poo today, glands up, full of snot and all weak and dizzy if I stand up too quick.
Thankfully DS1 stayed with his Auntie and Uncle yesterday as they're taking him to play with his little friend Kate this morning and DS2 is a bit poorly too so we didn't get up until 9.30! OH was a good boy and got himself off to work early without waking me, bless him.
May be a lazy morning for me, I have managed to do a kitchen full of washing up, vacuum living room and sweep kitchen floor (all 12 square feet of it!). But may not do much more until the paracetamol kicks in. DS2 is enjoying being able to play with all the toys without being knocked over by his boisterous older brother and being able to nest on Mummy's lap uninterrupted!

Did make a start on the meal planning last night so will finish that today and write a shopping list, all things I can do from the safety of the sofa!
Trying to redo the monthly budget and still ending up with loads left over, which I find worrying as we never seem to have any spare money, mind you we have been paying off OD and other things for a while so maybe that's why, don't want to assume we have more money and spend it then find I just forgot something!
Really want to start saving this year, OH is self emplyed and it would be lovely if we could put enough aside for him to have some time off this summer and maybe we could take the boys camping.

The list may not get done today, boys aren't at school yet so not desperate and I did do quite a lot in their room this week, including going through DS2's drawers, got DS1's to do but can't face it today.

Hope everyone has a good day, HUGS to others feeling poorly.

First batch of vouchers in the post... I'm afraid I've now run out of stamps (I've scrounged some from one of my team as well!), so the rest will have to wait until tomorrow... I've speeded the process up by not putting notes in with them, so apologies - I do love you all dearly, but need to get some work done today!

Plenty more if anyone still needs them...

juliejim

Off to Taybarns - catch you later
