Morning all :hello:

I overslept (no surprise there really ) as I didn't get to bed until gone 1am (yet again, no surprise :rotfl: ) but this time its because I caught my thumb nail and split it so was sitting up trying to cut it and my other nails shorter, file them down so I don't take the kids arms off like I nearly did before Xmas and then I gave them a coat of nail strengthener stuff in the hopes it will keep the loose bit of nail I can't take off flat so it won't snag. *and breathe....* :rotfl:

CSA has finally gone in, now I just need the money that ex owes me for Xmas, DD's mobile, school photos, & sponsor money (another £104 in total!) but I've only just added that up now so I best email it to him But the upside is that at least for now there is now over £1k available to me in my overdraft...but I have bills to pay

Need to do DD's hair and get myself ready. Catch you later :wave:

Morning all,

Freezing here as well, havent manage to catch up as there are over 300 posts since I was last on yesterday afternoon.

back to work & school in this household today, and then I have a tutorial tonight, so probably wont manage much flying today however the kitchen is looking pretty good so will try and have a look at the list tomorrow.

Hope all have a good day.

My new laptop and wireless router came and I was TRYING to hook them up last night - but can't get wireless router to work - and then I couldn't put broadband through the new laptop so I'm back on the old PC - but then I couldn't get the internet to work and I didn't sleep all night wondering what I had done wrong!! Anyway I'm back and on my old laptop with broadband, wil have to nip to PC world later. I don't even know if they do different sorts of Routers......this one I bought needs to plug into the phoneline box.....I'm cable..so it comes through a cable???!?!?

My Stuff
- Send off form for free prescriptions (again!)
- Take plastic/cardboard/paper to recycling
- Go to hardware shop to buy sticky tape for rug in kitchen so I don't go flying on the tiles!
- Make lasagne (might be trying my own pasta if I manage the kitchen list successfully - it's my treat for being good!)
- Book campsite for May bank holiday weekend
- Research new broadband/phone deals
- Pay cheque into the bank (probably not today as I don't plan on going into town!)

So far have loaded DW, boiled kettle and filled up a flask with hot water so I don't have to keep boiling it for hot drinks...god that's sad....



PS Thanks for the weather website - apparently it's -6 here! I might as well be with my parents in France skiing!! (apart from the lack of snow of course!)

Also - I have fabric shower curtains but one side has gone a bit pickled...I've washed it but don't seem to have any luck getting it clean. Anyone got any magic remedies?

This weeks MACAW (Make a Change a Week challenge... ) Basically you choose one thing you would like to change about your lifestyle, your habits or whatever you fancy and incorporate it into a new way of life.. anything from cooking one meal a week from scratch, learning a new skill, shining your sink every day, reducing your alcohol consumption, doing some exercise.. whatever you fancy! This is only for those who WANT to participate and being run alongside flylady rather than being part of it.

My M.A.C.A.W challenge this week is.to think of one thing for next week!.............[/quote]

Now off to work

Just a quick post as on school run shortly - DH had meeting yesterday and looks like he will retain his job albeit in a different form. Upside is he'll maybe earn the same or possibly a little more, downside is he'll be out longer each day and we'll need to buy me a car. (Do car sales places take choccie buttons?).

Now waiting on the letter to set it all out and gutting our finances to see how it all will fit together.

Not sure how I/we feel really - but we are very very grateful for the support you have all shown me - it helped very much over a very emotional day. Thanks.

Moam

Morning MOAM,

Am really glad DH kept his job, albeit in a different form - at least you can both feel a bit more secure now. I'm sure it will be hard to adjust at first, but it will come right once it is a bit more settled. Good luck with the car hunt, try car auctions, you can normally get a really good deal there - would the company help at all as they have changed DH's job? (probably pushing it there though )

Take care hun, glad you are feeling better today though...

:wave: Morning all! Chilly here but 4 degrees and not minus temperatures No snow either quelle surprise! Glad to see it's kitchen today, I have to get to the floor to clean it as it's disgusting and I've been meaning to do it for weeks.

Children are off to school with Mr G, he's taken them and the baby so I have the house to myself for 15 minutes.

JennyBee...fabric or plastic curtain?

Flylady_flower...what business do you have?

Reya...thanks for that. The Jersey Met Office says that we're averaging 4 degrees today, that site says we're 1 degree, feeling like -5 degrees! Although I don't think it's quite that cold outside.

pigpen

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY new TD will be here in about 5 minutes!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! DRY CLOTHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
