    Hiya, its called the hokey kokey as you put one load in and take it out and put another load in and take it out!!

    In that case I am definitely doing that today, let it build up too much again.

    In other news, mumps swelling has meant I've lost my jawline, I look like a chipmunk. I haven't swelled up as bad as Bex did, but maybe it's just a milder case.
    Not an expert, but I try and contribute and I'll always listen. Middle child of middle child parents. I drink way too much coffee.

  • Hello,

    Today my OH is doing the grocery shopping as I am not well enough for the walk. He's got a list that he made himself and a budget of 20. I'm so very proud of him. :T He also bought some much needed hats and gloves for less than 7 total!
    Today we have:
    done laundry at 30
    cleaned kitchen and bathroom
    ate lunch in (leftovers!)

    Tonight we are having friends over. They are bringing the main course and we're making dessert :D
    Tomorrow we're aiming to have a NSD.
    Debt at highest 01/01/2008- $79,385.32 :eek:
    Debt now 01/03/2009 - $63,194.72

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Not too bad today.

    Went to Tesco spent £107 but also inculded new mobile phone as I don't want to renew my contract. Used Coupons and filled the freezer.

    Bought Telegraph for free chocolates, but they didn't have any left but have honoured the voucher until next weekend.

    Been to look at holiday and have found going 3 days later is £600 cheaper, so will ask to change hoilday dates at work.
