    Hello . Did quite well today. Manage to do some things that I had been ignoring and I shouldn't

    Still need to fill in my tax form for mystery shopping but hardly seems worth it as I didn't really earn that much but I don't want to be clobbered by a £100 penalty when I don't think I even earnt that much.
    Am trying to change avatar to yellow but saves it has failed.

    PLEASE can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

    mojt - I can see your avi.

    I'm shattered now. Don't think I'll do anymore but will update my list in a minute.

    Triker tooth pain is the most miserable pain there is, no wonder you feel down. I hope the dentist can sort it out - have you tried swilling with hot very salty water?

    Soappie - sorry to hear about your job, good luck with the cv

    Pigpen I hope you are ok, life seems too much for lots of us right now

    Denise how did you get on with your bedroom? Is the ironing board folded and put away?

    soappie - thanks for your input. I did get most of it cleared in a fairly short space of time - it just annoys me so much that it will be back like that again tonight! Oh, and the blue chicken is actually a pukeko :) My DSno.4 gave it to me for Christmas and it needs to go out in my garden. Hope something gets sorted for your job.
    Hawthorn - You are right. It's a major hot spot that I can't seem to cool down.
    mOZzy/kaz - My drawers aren't full - that's the thing!! I'm just too darn lazy to put stuff away.
    Tootti - I do have a very pretty doily hidden underneath the piles :)

    Toots - I love your idea for your list....fab!
    Triker - if you write in yellow and we highlight it we can read it in blue (does that make sense?)

    S/S kitchen after making dinner. I've meal planned and given the list to DH to go and buy.

    Looking at that horrid subject of finances.....it's looking like we won't be getting a caravan this year. I think we have to get rid of the credit card first. If we wait until next year then we can save for the caravan....you know when you know it makes sense but you don't want to listen!!! That's me!!!! I don't want to camp his year due to my op but I know DH will still take the children away with friends so at least they won't do without a holiday. Being sensible is poo! xx
