    Floordrobe clearance well under way. Most of the clothes are now put away and some older ones are being recycled to rags or us or other friends. Need to put away the folded washing from yesterday.

    Will carry on in our bedroom, going to take more than one day to get everything done but hey ho it's started woohoo.

    Miss A & W now in the bath, when they get out they have to pack their cases ready to sleep over at Nan's tonight :D Guess whose got a night off :D:D:D

    Will get Miss A to post her updated list when she is dry.

    Hugs Hex

    Welcome Little Miss Moneysaver

    AnW’s mum, you did really well today packing up some of DH’s clothes. That’s a big step. Hugs for you. When you are ready maybe you will pack up a few more clothes. Don’t worry about giving them away, just do what’s right for you. You always amaze me with your strength and the way you get on with things xx

    What is a round tuit?

    Quillion your DS should get a special star for helping you

    Going for a nap now after I've hung out the washing

    Thanks rose, it really helped that we needed to sort the wardrobes so we can get all our clothes organised rather than shoved in where they will fit at the time. It meant it was part of everyday life and not so much like packing DH away into the past, hope that makes sense.

    A Round Tuit is a vital piece of equipment and I think all members of the fly gang should have one ;)

    The Round Tuit is an object that can be used as a joke or motivational tool for anyone who procrastinates (delays and puts off tasks).

    More details can be found here ;)

    This is a round tuit. Guard it with your life!
    Tuits are hard to come by, especially the round ones.
    It will help you become a much more efficient worker.
    For years you've heard people say "I'll do that when I get a round tuit."
    So now that you have one, you can accomplish all those things you put aside until you got a Round Tuit.

    Where is your TD?
    Mine is in conservatory and generates loads of heat - why not put bedding in TD and stay in that room to warm yourself up a bit?

    I do this as well :D If I have washing that needs drying then I put the TD on and leave the door to the kitchen open, it provides more heat to the area where my desk is than the fire :rolleyes:

    Bread rolls are baked, the loaf in the BM is nearly done, and I've been the shop for milk ;) I have £2.06p left of my £100 budget for this month :D ( However I'm going to have to do a "big shop" online for Monday and my new budget so I don't know if I'll be able to stick to it so much next month :o ) I let DD take her pocketmoney from her grandads (ex's ones) so she could get some sweets - she's come back with a comic (Go girls as it had lockets & a mobile phone charm on it), a cornish pastie, a choc chunk muffin, and a packet of chewitts :rotfl: She's chuffed that she paid for some of it herself. I, however am not chuffed that I decided to get an apple from a new fruit shop only to find he wanted 30p for it :eek: 1 pigging apple! Looking for it DD found 3 that had gone off. We won't be going back there again! I'll stick with the co-op!

    Right, assignment lol...I'll be typing that in my sleep :o:rotfl:
