Afternoon everyone.

I stole a morning to myself and bought a sports bra for running, an ipod shuffle (£29 less £20 vouchers) to run with and some books from a charity shop. Feel much better now, and I have been for my first run in months.

I also made myself deep clean the pantry including going through all the use by dates on the spices and oils etc. Did someone mention 2005? I found some reminders of that year too - doubly embarassing given that we moved house Christmas 06.

For those who can't bear to get rid of things - I found freecycle easier to cope with as I wasn't 'throwing' it away. If you really can't throw stuff away aldi have some of those vacuum storage bags next week.

Gryfon your comments re DW made me laugh. I hate people putting things in the DW - they just don't do it right, or they switch it on when it is only half full.

Jennybee - it is very hard striking a balance between the need to rest and the need to tidy before you are too tired/busy to care. Please just stick to short bursts and then have a good rest. I am reliably informed the midwife/HV worries most about those with clean houses!

Fly-flo - in these parts, you can renew library books online. It'll save you a fine...

Thanks Soappie, forgot about doing that - all done, BUT in my books the date stamped is the 9th, on the screen where I have just renewed it says the 8th and has charged me 10 per book (70p) for late returns...

I think they are open tomorrow, so can hopefully have a word when I go in...

Apparently he would need fraud prevention insurance or something like that?? I dont know much about that kind of thing either.

Yes, but charges are up to them - surely they can waiver those just by saying the word???

Flower - I think it was flower who asked but my brain is a little mushy - yes, i'm doing payment a day and it's a fab thread and really getting this card paid off. I'm hoping to pay the card off by the 1st March but it's interest free until April (actually they've written to us to extend until July but i've not told DH that!!).xx

Yes it was me, you're doing great Mudbath - how do I find these highly motivated people then??? (need some of that myself...)

Gryfon

Going to put dinner on. Been good today and managed to get to the drawers in my bedroom...and I can shut the wardrobe doors :j
