Flying gleefully into 2009 - One Fresians adventures in debt-busting

Primula

Hi ff
Just popped in to say hello, and I so agree with other posters - you are a real inspiration. I don't get on here as much as I would like, but I always keep up to date with your diary. I don't have debt to pay off (just desperately trying to get rid of the mortgage) but I just so want to be organised and keep spending less (I am spending less since I found this site!). Going to have a peek at the flylady thread too as I'd love to be more organised in the house too! Anyway, keep up the good work, good luck with your new challenge and do you know what!? I think you are so good at writing, you could write a book! Glad you enjoyed your hols up north (my neck of the woods)

Hello and thanks for all the kind words - you lot are going to make me blush

What part of Up North are you in? I have just had a lovely break in Skye and wish I was back there already, and only got home yesterday :rotfl:

I'm sure I should be doing something apart from farting around on the forums, but I am on holiday! Next week I will be a Flylady Fresian again

Dingwall area................lovely and sunny here today and off for easter weekend......woo hoo, planned to do loads today but getting sidetracked on here! :rotfl:

I know it well - going to Dingwall was practically a trip to the city when I was young :rotfl: My mum also went to Dingwall Academy in the 60s as she is originally from Ullapool! Lovely part of the world

LOL.......and now we even have New Look! And a nice new Academy! Right, off to hang out some washing now - gone are the tumble drier days now - I pulled the plug out!
Enjoy easter weekend.

thanks hopeful & fresian (who hasn't even complained that i totallay hijacked her thread!!) for the advice. i think that it's a good idea to have a little buffer zone - will see what the quotes start out as, then haggle a bit (or try to ) once i've decided how much i need to keep in the bank. x

Things I must do by Sunday so I can spend Monday doing nothing

• [strike]Dishes
• Get kitchen back to standard it was at before I went away - my flatmate looked after the cats, but by God he's a messy !!!!er
• Tidy living room[/strike]
• [strike]Washing x about three loads[/strike] Have done as much as I can for today - nowhere left to hang it up!
  
• Put away clothes
• Sort out stuff for tip
• Put up bookcase that's been sitting in the living room for a flipping year
• [strike]Make some kind of PAD[/strike]
• [strike]See if the bank is open tomorrow (Often they are on Saturdays between bank holidays) and pay in money if they are[/strike]
• Head to buy cheap Easter Eggs for the lovely folk who lent us their car&house for our holiday
• [strike]Clean the bathroom[/strike]
• [strike]Hoover[/strike]Get t'other half to hoover

I think you could call that a plan.

We'll see how it goes!!

Update - 10.30am on Saturday, bathroom cleaned, bins out, cat litter tray emptied (And dear God, it needed doing) Boots purchases put away, PAD made for today, washing done

Monday update - living room and kitchen now done, still not sorted stuff for tip...

I really need to go and do things!

It's a really nice day - the front door has been open for the cats all morning and they are running in and out like loons.

I have done nothing from my Monster List and need to get quite a lot of it done this morning as the Newcastle game is on Setanta, meaning that t'other half will be getting in my way in the living room later on

I still have to go to the shops and pick up the stuff I forgot to buy yesterday (Nothing major, mainly veg) and see if the bank is open. If not, I can always deposit via the ATM which is a godsend!

Have a lovely Saturday all

Hiya, looks like you have plenty to do! My oh was watching the Sheffield utd match yesterday so I got the hoover out ready to do it when it was finished - the look of horror on his face was a picture when he thought I was gonna do it there and then! lol.
Have a good day xx
