The Thrifty Gifty Girls 2009 (Organised & Money Neutral for All Occasions) #3

Today is day of lists for me today, I always feel overwhelmed buy all the stuff I need to so & end up only doing absolute minimum, or rushing jobs at the last minute. So today I am writing a HUGE list of all the jobs I need to do, then prioritising them by when they NEED to be finished by, & how important it is to finish them.

Paddington - my mil has one of those pregnant belly casts in her spare room, done on my sil when she was pregnant with baby number 2 I think. My mil did life casting & there wasnt much she didnt cast :eek: She's got ornaments dotted around the house made from them including the classical baby hand & foot, & what we call my fils death mask, a cast of his head & neck. None of me thankfully as she got bored of it before I was on the scene.

Plums, whats wrong with calling you plums? its how plms sounds in my head, lol

Scattymam - sounds like you've got a few jobs to be getting on with, shall post some of my list later which might give you a few ideas.

Arrrrrggghhhh!!!

Oh has just had a phone call ... an agent offering an interview for a job ...

Great fantastic I hear you say ... I would agree ....

BUT! . . . . . . . . .

It is in Russia on a 7/3 week :eek: so he would work 7 weeks and be home for 3 then dissapear again for another 7 etc.....

The money would be fantastic ... and very welcome .... but I am scared .... 7 weeks is ages, and whilst we would have Emails/Phone contact it is still a long time ... and I would have the kids on my own ... and have to give up my measly 4 hours work a week .....

I feel torn, not sure what to say to him ... I keep saying that he needs to get more info on it, I know he would love to do it because it is good experience for him, but I know he would miss the kids, the money is also good (goodness I sound greedy lol)

Hmmmmm now I am confused ....

Sorry ladies had to vent ... feel so confused!

Age cant be helped, how OLD you are is down to your mindset, old far!s like me always say this, lol, makes us feel better, but is also true. & I'm a typical Tauren, steadfast, stubborn, bull in a china shop, etc.
