Morning everyone.

I didnt get on yesterday as this flu had me flat out. Its a long time since Ive had it this bad. Feel a bit brighter this morning but not much of a voice. Just keeping slightly on top of flying. Hopefully normal service will return soon. Have not caught up with the thread but wil do that shortly.

So far Ive.

Put recycling out.
Fed fat cat.
Emptied kitchen bin.
Tidied coffee table.
Washed the dishes.

Think I'll get lunch prepared and S&S the kitchen while DD2 is engrossed in In the Night Garden.

Then going to MIL's to drop off DD2 for her sleep while I go to the hospital with my mum to see my Grandad. He's really not well...he had a fall a couple of days after Christmas and although he wasn't too bad after the fall he's gone quite downhill with other health problems since then. He's not doing bad considering he's 91 next month though!

LadyLiberty...The rule is....No Carrying Over From the Days Before! (Unless you've got visitors due and the house is looking horrendous, then its OK.) The rooms will come round again next week.:D

DS didn't know what he wanted for his birthday until he knew that was coming. So i've told him it's his birthday present and saved a bit of money - it's not like he's being hard done by. A lot of people gave him money this year and he has an atm money box....omg he's got £73 in it plus a £15 gift voucher!!!! He wants to put half in his 'can't touch it building society account' and the rest in his 'can touch it account'. Such a good boy!!! He knows that if it stays in his ATM i'll 'borrow' it :rotfl: .

Wow! He is a good boy! DD1 Can't wait to spend hers when she gets it....bit like me really!

Still no cheque for the cooker so I'm calling them in a bit..

On the plus side we will now be getting over £3000 in 'food allowance' and I am also calling them in a minute to get them to send through an 'interim payment' (so I can buy the cooker if necessary!) and get the work on the kitchen started!

I've been desk decluttering while sitting here and have found loads of tesco vouchers so I'll do a small order for next wednesday I think.. I've also found 2 bills I need to pay too which is bit of a PITA bit.. hey ho.. swings and roundabouts!

I have some stuff finishing on ebay this evening so should have almost £90 in there which will cover my college fees next month.. I'll only hvae 1 more payment to make then but cannot for the life of me remember when it is coming out.. typical me!

The WM is on..
I've cleaned out the fishy .. Don't know what it is with that fish but is always seems to have something wrong with it!!

I've paid 2 bills and in the middle of updating my spreadsheet.. there is loads to pay off...

The bedroom has been put on the back burner for a day or two while I get my head straightened out.. but it is on the weekend agenda.

I have an assignment finished off.

My sisters baby is due TODAY!!!!!!!!! How exciting is that? I can't believe it has come round so quickly after all the problems she has and how long it took to conceive.. SHOPPING!!!!!!!!!!! lol... She wanted this so badly..

Morning all :hello:

Its been one of those weeks this week. I sat up until 1.30am doing a piece of work for my NVQ :eek: Just didn't realise the time. I dread to think what my list looks like now though as all I seem to have spent the week doing is sorting out ebay sales of stickers :rotfl: She's sold 13 batches of 10 stickers at £1.50 for each batch :eek: Granted some of them have requested stickers that had already been sold - I made the mistake of putting "10 available" at one point and about 5 people bought stickers within minutes of each other so they all wanted the same ones :eek: Took me 3 days to sort that mess out - first come first served basis, full/partial refunds as required as well. It may have saved me some money in listing fees, but my sanity is more important, so back to "1 available" but with a big notice on the listing saying "if you want MORE than 10, contact me and I'll send you an invoice for that many stickers, including additional postage" So DD has made profit of approximately £8.85 so far and still has 542 stickers (so about 54 potential sales) left listed Of course she goes owe me £33.32 for the stickers I've bought online, so she's not quite making a proper profit ATM ;)

I also managed to sell some odds and sods at the weekend, but I have stacks still to sell. Now I've just listed some stuff on Freecycle which I'm not even going to attempt to put on ebay (BIG lot of clothing that DD has outgrown).

So instead of browsing the internet I should really make my list up ...
Personal (for the week):

• Phonecalls :
  • Doctors for appointment next Mon or Fri. I am not attempting an after school one again
  • Phone plumber to arrange gas safety check (should have been done before Xmas but I've been too busy):o
• Ebay listings
  • Stuff not currently listed (aiming for 1 a day) [strike]Mon[/strike] Tue Wed Thur Fri Sat Sun - Sort of happened, I've been constantly relisting DD's stickers everytime she's sold some!
    
• Also to do but ongoing:
  • NVQ paperwork
    • Knowledge questions for units 001, 002, 003, 004, 005, 009, 016
    • Explanations for 016[strike] (plan for display, evaluation, removal)[/strike] Just need to see if I have the "display policies" from school :rolleyes:
      
    • Type up handwritten work for 002
    • Witness testimony for 009
    • [strike]Timesheet[/strike]
  • OU work
    • Block 3 part 1 - entertainment
    • Read through TMA03 & CMA42 to see what I Need to do online (not skipping postings this time I need to get the marks!)
