    PPI Party Pooper
    Against my better judgement i have ordered my machine from Dixons as it was £20 cheaper and i can just afford it. Really hope i've done the right thing as they dont have the best customer service reviews:o So tempted to cancel the order and wait til i have the extra money and order from the co-op. Decisions, decisions:confused:

    Morning ladies

    Having one of those days when time just slips away.

    Dalies done and kitchen sorted. Just need to get all my stuff together to go to town - taking a sarnie with me to save cash and I'm meeting friends for a coffee early afternoon and I'll be starving by then.

    Why have I got a cat around my neck like a scarf purring in my ear?

    First job today.. EAT!! I am starved!!!

    Nails looking pretty and after the panto last night the children got to school at.. 10:30am... I did ring and say they were going to be in late as they didn't get to bed until after 10pm last night.. but it is a one off so not too drastic! .. They'll have got there in time for break lol. Most others would have kept them off for the day!

    I did nothing yesterday so need to get heaps done once my polish is properly dry.

    g&b I had a nightmare with delivery from the Coop, my theory is they are all as bad as each other!!!

    Popped back in to check what I said I would get done :o got into the kitchen, put some stuff away and forgot.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I shall stick them in the washing pile and hope they don't get lost! :rotfl:

    I'm very impressed with your decluttering skills!

    Ok TD is on for 20 mins just to finish off what I put in there yesterday. I have DW to unload and fill, WM to unload and fill, wet clothes to hang up. Wonder if it's the wet clothes making my hands dry out, my skin is so dry it's cracking :( I do keep putting moisturiser on them.

    And more bills today! As well as the £63 I have to pay for DD1's dancing term, then the £50 odd for her costume...I now have another £50 to shell out for DD1 and DS to do Beavers and Cubs :rolleyes: That's on top of the £65 for tuba loan and the £58 I just paid for my back injection. I think I'm going to get the child support paid into a different account and use that for paying for all these things, well the children's subs etc.
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

    Lost list (maybe didn't post it??)

    Friday - Boys room and bits of other rooms that need it!

    Wash and dry bedding
    Vacuum floor
    Vacuum Mattresse
    Re-make beds
    Tidy books box
    Wipe windowsill
    Dishes away
    Make quiche
    Driving lesson

    Giving myself a short list today as I did so well the rest of the week, plus the boys' room doesn't need much.
    In-laws coming over at 2pm to have the kids for 2 hours while I do driving lesson. I won't be back until 4.30 so need to have quiche cooked before I go.
    Haven't cooked quiche sinse I had a huge argument with my pastry and threw it all over the kitchen early last year!
    I always used to make fab pastry but one day it kept going wrong so I refused to do it any more, think I am ready to stop being childish and get on with it!
