But I have also
Cancelled the Sky Tv
Cancelled the Love films
Cancelled credit expert
Spoken to estate agent about council tax band, garden size and sheds.
Been to town and bought dishwasher tablets, ink for computer printer, and banked the refunded council tax cheque.
(Bought a tablecloth for a£1 in the charity shop). Saw several of my clothes I took down 2 days ago, out for sale.
Had my lunch
Photocopied my DLA application Form
Put two wash loads on, dispite the rain, have it all on radiators and airers at the moment and wash load 3 is on.
Emailed the Social Services about my complaint
Spoken to the doctor and have arranged for a new prescription and sick note.
To be collected later in the day.
So all in all I am quite happy with the mornings efforts!.

Hi everyone, I meant to post last night but ended up watching Hells Kitchen & The Apprentice then went to bed. Now today I've been trying to post since around 8 o clock off & on, I've got my whole post written in a word document but my pooter won't let me copy & paste it over..everytime I try it says " Problem with Internet Explorer, restarting" and I keep losing it all so I'm now retyping it all but i can't copy & paste the lists over!! Very irritating. Anyway on to more important things..
Toots Hope today goes ok for you & you can still use your mask thing
Hex sorry to hear your stress with the client, fingers crossed for tomorrows interview
Mrs MortonHarket Good luck for today! Tho its taken me so long to do this post the baby probably arrived hours ago!
Lady-Liberty Happy Birthday!!
Rosepink glad you seem to be feeling better again now..

Sorry to anyone I've missed, I don't think I read every page

Flyingwise I've done washing & tumbling, made bread rolls and a ginger cake making a terrible mess of the kitchen in the process!
I've dyed my roots so then made a terrible mess of the bathroom!:rolleyes: Still its all clean & shiny again now so when I can post the lists there's some I can cross off I'm sure!

Right lets post this & hope it works..fingers crossed..here goes..

ouch holly - be careful until it heals and well done on the decluttering total - most impressive:T
Mooloo thats a brilliant amount done - you are getting well organised for this move.

I have now had a shower, lunch and I am all ready to go so I think I will try and do a little ebay or amazon while I wait - there is not much I can do from my list until later.

have a great afternoon everyone

2 books just freecycled, so a little bit of clutter gone from the study now. Just remembered that I was going to put my fruit and veg slicer on as I never use it. Off to go and find it now and list it before I get some lunch. Think Ill go to the gym after lunch instead as the first freecycle person was running late, and now I'm hungry, still, cos the second one came round now, I don't need to worry about him coming at 7pm any more.

Just back from work, children playing happily so need to crack on. The house is really rather OMG :eek:, and my de-clutter is still stuck at 103 magazines. WTG Holly and Jo though, you really are cracking on with it.

Forogt to say - Happy Birthday Lady Liberty!

Dinner cooked, eaten and cleared away. Kitchen wiped down again.

I looked at the sky then and decided to get the washing in. Just as I got back in it started to rain really hard, so that was good timing. All dry except one pair of socks - why do they make socks out of stuff that takes forever to dry? Must be cotton I think.

And the sun is out again now. Proper April showers.

greenbee

I'm showered and dressed... still feeling lazy :rolleyes:. So I think I just need to avoid making more work for myself!

I've also talked to our recruitment team (always worth being nice to them, as they know what's coming up ), searched our internal and external job sites and had a wander round some of the other boards.

I need to: finish cleaning the shower/bath; put some washing on; empty the car and put away the rest of the stuff

...

all before leaving the house at 6.15... which technically should be easy
