So my list:

• Have updated slimming world diary this morning
• Need to update signiture to show weight loss - I will stick to it this time!
• Finally get round to updating my MSE diary
• Upload photos to facebook from last friday
• Message a colleugue who left while I was off
• Do some work on gift list. Have written a list with OH of what we would like- now need to search online to find the products we like and upload to gift list
• Try and update general wedding planner
• Pay C/C online
• Phone car insurance about NCD proof
• Spent some time with OH on job centre site
• Clean out rabbit
• Mow lawn
• Plant some seeds
• Go to bottle bank
• Then hoover car out
• Try and catch some of the formula 1 qualifiying at 1pm
• Call best friend using free minutes
• Text friends to catch up using free minutes
• Send £50 depoist to florist we met last week - so impressed with her prices and the plan for how we decorate the barn and my bouquet
• Storeupboard meals
• Stick to slimming world
• Housework - boo hiss!
• Washing at 30 x2 and line dry
• OH's sister and couple of friends are visiting this evening. We are going to our social club as my aunty's partner is playing in her band. Always a great night as lots of family and friends will be there. She is also our wedding singer so it's a good chance to get even more excited about the big day!
• I'll take out £20 which I budgeted for on payday. This should be fine for me and OH as cheap drinks and shared taxi between 5
• No other spending today
• Heating off all day

Right, methinks I best get cracking!
Love to all
Have a great weekend

Aw SM - think of him as communal DFW small things property - we do!!

He's having his first DFW adventure soon - after the shopping trip - he's going off on his holidays with one of my friends - bless - he's a bit nervous.

I am thinking of taking him south as everyone waves - he's just been serviced, he has new tyres, breakdown cover (is about to get new foam and covers and curtains) and DD said we should take the citreon to be sensible - but Darwin would be so much more fun - so we are doing the sums together and seeing whats the best option)

Hi Mog chops - sorry about the mad camper van dude having a name - he's part monkey/part scientist just like me. (Monkey who could talk in the programme of the wild thornberries who toured the world with a red headed daughter in their bigger campervan) - I am also an earth monkey (chinese sign) and of course Darwin is an inspriation to us all here as I am a mad gardener/botanist/plant scientist person so Darwin seemed like the perfect name for a VW in our household.

SOrry I realise I never make sense - surprisingly this never bothers me too much - whoop whoop to the seeds

mogchops

Fay you make perfect sense!! He sounds amazing!! Definitely take him south, you will have sooooo much more fun!

With you all the way on the wild thornberries, love that programme!!

GOOOD MOOORNING!!!

Have had two days off from work and it has done miracles. I feel almost like my old self. Now I just need to be careful and not do too much as to spoil the progress.

Anyway, rather busy weekend ahead and not a NSD or LSD either I am afraid as I need to top up with piggy and rat food, get wood chippings for piggies and oil for The Dog. I ordered yesterday a veg box to be delivered on Tuesday as this prevents me going mad at Mr T. I still need to go to Mr S to pick up fruit and all the dairy stuff needed. So I will try not to go mad there. My brother asked me to buy and send them some tea and offered to pay but I asked him to send me some rye rusks instead as that is something both I and DD love and I can't buy from here.

Ok enough rambling and to the list:

- Scratchies
- Curly
- Cashback bingo
- Hokey Cokey on the way - sunny here so far
- Make shopping list
- Stick to shopping list well, almost
- Would be nice to get 7-8 book boxes logged and taken to shop
- Online banking
- Spreadhseets
- Self employment accounts up to date
- SOA as far as can be done
- Cash flow forecast
- Letter to Council
- Letter to one debt collection agency
- Update DFW/DMP file
- Update people on my thread about what is going on
- Update challenges thread ready for April
- Skype Mum

OMG, I better go and lie down...

Morning All :hello:

Potential piano buyer due here soon -I have everything crossed

Foul weather so no gardening, so I may take my vouchers out for the afternoon and not bring them back :whistle:

Plumbing under the sink is Kaputt. I either have to wash up in the futility room until Popeye returns on Thursday to rescue me, or I have to do a bit of plumbing. The choice is plumbing, or live without a kitchen sink and dishwasher :eek: for 5 days

Otherwise today I have/will:

• scratch'n'click 20p
• online banking and update signature - looking good so I'm sadly excited by this
• menu plan (said this every day but.....I'm having a Fay-sulk about it )
• SELL piano (positive thoughts )
• shout at the seeds which have STILL not germinated. (good gardener/bad gardener we'll see what works, and Radio 3 hasn't)

Have fun everybody, I hope it's drier for you where you are.

Morning all

It's bloomin' freezing here.

I'm spending the day on my assignment today. I have my kitchen timer by my side so I can do bursts of 45 mins. In between I will try and do my other chores. OH is being a star - he has already hung up the clothes on the airer, is currently making my porridge and will be going off to the supermarket to buy food for the evening and tomorrow. I do love him!!!

So today I will

• [STRIKE]Work on my assigment - I can't wait til this drops off my list[/STRIKE].
• [STRIKE]Washing hokey kokey[/STRIKE]
• Ironing
• [STRIKE]check bank accounts[/STRIKE]
• print off spreadsheet for budget
• [STRIKE]update spending diary for yesterday[/STRIKE]

Oh - by the way I've got an interview next week! It clashes with my workshop on my course so have to think about what to do next. I don't think they would be in a position to change the date but I'm not sure if I would fail the course because I will have missed too much! I'm also not sure about hte job itself. So another task is to:

• [STRIKE]email tutors to explain the situation[/STRIKE].

Have a great day!

I have lost my get up and go....its got up and gone! Ive been feeling so lethargic over the last few days I really need a kick up the bum!

Today I have:

• Checked banking
• Job searched - nothing
• Been researching a possible home job and been looking into that more

And I will:

• Do some housework (always cheers me up lol)
• Off to DD show this afternoon and will buy bogof pepsis in Wilkos rather than buy drinks at bar in intermission (£1.20 for a coke there :eek: and only 89p for 2 in W)
• Off out tonight and will take £20 with me for me and OH
• Meals from stores (lasagne for tea)
• Pop some daffs over to the cemetery

This weekend I would like to achieve:

• Sort all the clean washing currently stacked up and get it PUT AWAY (driving me round the bend)
• Start sorting through the book pile, its so huge!
• Sort out some paperwork
• Sort through DVD cupboard and take out anything thats no longer watched/wanted/the right age
• Get the animals cleaned out (save time on monday)
• Get the sheets changed (save time on monday again)
• Get some washing done and dried, or the kids wont have any school clothes, flippin rain!

Not sure if I will manage above, but think it will help how I feel if I can get them sorted

Will try and get back in tomorrow with a list Have a good day everyone!
