Happy birthday SM!!! Hope you are absent today because you are being treated like the special lady you are!:bdaycake:
1) SC x 10p
2) LSD - under £2.50. Bought myself a Sactuary scrub for £1.44 plus paracetomol for OH, and a 50p DVD rental from Blockbuster for T.
3) OH took us out for lunch and paid.
4) Took T to the paddling pool for free fun.
5) About 4 online surveys.
6) Checked banking.
7) Dinner from freezer. I couldn't justify having the oven on just for dinner so made cakes and chocolate biscuits at the same time!

Catch up tomorrow,

Morning all, lovely sunny day here!
Thank you so much for all the lovely anniversary wishes!! Still cant believe its been 11 years - time flies!! :rotfl:
Dizzydebs - good news on the eviction!! Fingers crossed it could be sooner!!
Stayed for tea at mums last night so late back, but meant I could just chill out - no cooking!! :j Had a lovely afternoon too, doing horsey things!
Older DD still at sleepover, had a text at 7am to say we're awake! Thanks for that, so am I now!! :rolleyes:
Younger DD a bit under the weather, she woke up crying at 5am, very hot with a temperature, and says her back hurts. Calpol has been administered & helped. I think the backache is because she was doing very bouncy trotting on a shetland pony yesterday afternoon!! She is now snuggled on the sofa watching tv.
Still havent sorted ebay stuff - but my excuse is coz was late back last night, ran out of time!! No excuses today - will get it sorted and listed.
Also need to do some tidying & weeding in the garden and clean the bathroom. Must clean the bathroom - thats now been on the list for 3 days!! :rotfl:

Cleosmum, great news on the job interview, can imagine that must be a bit of a boost, especially after trying for so long. Just keep going and i am sure you will get there.
Really sorry to hear about your friend, that must have come as a big shock and so sad that you never got to have that proper catch up. Thats what i love about my 101 list, it reminds me to live and start doing things instead of thinking about them. This year i am going to catch up with a friend i haven't seen for eight years and who although i only spent a week with, left a huge imprint on my life.
I am still very tired after yesterday's party although seeing how much money i made has made it all worthwhile!! I have a busy massaging week next week so today will not be too heavy as i really need some time to look after me.

-Have withdrawn deposit for yesterday's party from paypal to my bank
-I need to update yesterday's spreadsheets
-Massage towels in the wash on 30
-Another couple of washes through out the day planned, on 30.
-Will try and hang outside and in airing cupboard to dry
-Have checked business emails
-Checked online banking
-Transfered small amount from current account to isa
-Moved money around as necessery
-I will check credit card balances

Hi guys, happy sunday
Yesterday wasn't very MS, as I went shoping with my sister, I have 2 birthdays coming up, so stocked up for those. Then last night I was looking forward to a relaxing night in by myself with chocs and love film dvd as oh was away but got talked into going out friends, which led me to going to bed at 4am this morning! :eek:
Needless to say I am still in pjs, but as OH is on his way home I need to get a move on as the place looks like a bomb site!
Today I will..
* Get dressed!
* Tidy living room, bedroom and kitchen
* Bangers, mash and onion gravy for dinner
* Put my £2 coins I got last night into piggy
* Pack ebay sale ready for tomorrow
* Have a nsd
* Read papers online
* Iron
Thats all I can think of at the moment as my head is quite fuzzy!
Have a great day everyone xxLiving as simply as we can
