Bumbling along to be Mortgage Free

I laughed my head off at Cameron, he had obv been advised like Tony Blair to drop his Ts, then half way through the debate he forgot and went back to "speaking proper"

Thanks Glamazon

I'll bear that in mind with the MS trips. I am only registered with RE at the moment so i guess i need to book some more. I guess i will do better when the kids are at school. I wasn't supposed to have them with me the other day. I got my sister to watch them when i went in, but they couldn't deal with any of my query at that point. I had to go back after 3, and she had promised my other sister she would pick up her lad from school. So i ended up having them with me but they were good boys. I hope they don't find out and not pay me. I said 40p per mile and 6p per sheet of printing like it said in the spreadsheet.

Dandelions - grr. I would need a lot of salt. :rotfl:

Retail Eyes - not much money to be made from them! I find its only worth doing RE jobs if you're going to the shop anyway or need lunch while you are out doing any other MS jobs. I had a lovely pub lunch inbetween 6 pharmacy jobs, a pizza delivered to home and a sandwich.
IMO - Grass Roots, GfK, ESA and Abai are the best. Got £45 through the post today :j

I have had probs with my iron for months and it kept scolding my clothes and the steam hadnt worked for years so I was holding out for my birthday and waiting for my mum to ask me what I want so I dont have to buy myself a new iron lol. Hope thats what I get tomorrow I may then do a load of ironing all in one go!

Morning all ,

I don't iron anything - I gave up that nasty habit about 3 years ago along with giving up my dryer last year. I don't envy those who iron as its a neverending once you start. All that electricity useage too !

Edit : I got my electricity useage down to 50kwh for all of last week for the 7 of us- It's never been so low...the answer is probably the lads not showering all week and now have stuff growing behind their ears!! Lads hey!

I cant wait to enter the readings in the morning on Imeasure - how sad am I!

Michelle, You must of saved alot recently with your cutbacks on lovefilm and your ebay sales. Are you still paying off these small amounts or letting them mount up before you OP ?

The scarecrow hunt sounded really good fun , wish we had something like that in Manchester to go to! The children would have loved it.

Hope you don't mind me joining in.

Awww bless Pammy - an iron for your birthday. Maybe you could send yours to Michelles oh for him to work his magic.

Well done for all your preparations, you are doing great with everything!

Michelle - I know what you mean about junk! My OH is a right hoarder so we are always tripping over stuff it dirves me nuts. Finally getting it on ebay but it takes forever!

We have visitors coming next week AND the week after (trying to fit them in before I go back to work in 3 weeks) so are trying to move it all into our bedroom so its hidden

Hope you managed to get a nice relaxing bath.

Enjoy the party! :j

pammy i was the same and thinking of getting a new iron for my birthday last month, but decided i was more in need of trainers than an iron as my previous pair had been worn an awful lot. There are some in Argos for less than a tenner if i need to replace this one. Happy birthday by the way.

thank you, I also need new trainers lol but am trying to hold out until just before hols in July

The plan is to keep it tidy so I can keep on top of it when I go back to work - the living room and kitchen are already a mess and I only did them on Thursday! :eek:

In a week Jack has gone from quite happily just lying on his back, rolling now and then and sometimes rocking back and for to commando crawling, going from sitting up to all fours and back again and trying to pull himself up! He's already going for all the things he shouldn't depsite having more toys than the average child!

It does feel good to declutter thou doesn't it?
I joined a thread on the OS board and decluttered 100 things in 100 days. I must get back into the flylady thread just so that I have a starting point with the housework!
