  • Just popped in to see how the list was going. Is cat still smelly? Maybe you were concentrating on the list and didn't have time to cross everything that you got done off.

    Is it bad I've already [STRIKE]started [/STRIKE] made a to do list for Jan?!

    They have given us a budget, so i am hoping to come in under that and be able to put the difference towards the mortgage.

    What a fantastic idea:T:T:T:T:T good luck with that. Will you ask on freecycle for decorating bits and bobs? Often folk have cans of paint in their garages they'll never use :)

    Wow, lots to do! r.e. washload I day, I've been really good for the last week at doing just this and drying on the airer (not using tumble dryer), and then ironing as soon as ds goes to bed at night. I want to continue when I go back to work from Monday as I hate having a pile to do.

    Good luck with all the jobs this week.

  • Probably a bit late now but maybe for next time: Pizza style crumpets (my young cousins love them) tomato base (can be ketchup if needs be), cheese and any other pizza topping.

    Hi I've just read most of your diary and enjoyed it a lot!

    I heard about the cold weather in the UK on the Australian news yesterday. And here I am sitting in summer clothes! :) Keep warm won't you, I can't imagine that kind of cold weather, It doesn't even get to 0 degrees Celcius here in winter!

    Cheers

    Hi ya, if you need glasses then why not try glasses direct as I get mine from there and only cost £20 plus I'm pretty sure you can get cashback via Quidco.

    Well done with your meals and sewing and great that the car passed it's MOT
  • Oh Michelle, i can relate to the story about the glasses, i woke up one morning to find DD beside me in bed stretching the legs ( or arm, not sure what part of the anatomy it is called) of my FCUK glasses and when i tried to bend it back it snapped off!! I wear contacts during the day...so i must confess i did actually sellotape the leg back on...it didnt really have the desired affect because the lens kept falling out...... i looked like a cross between popeye and Jack Duckworth...:rotfl::rotfl:. Not a good look :D

  • Probably my last post now of 2009. Thanks MFW's for all support in my challenge, and i hope we all can achieve our dreams in 2010. I have a good feeling about it. (Not least because DH found out that our kids favourites 'The Wiggles' will be touring near us in the Summer, so we are already excited about how they will react to that. Strangely DH is more excited than me.)

    Hi michelle this is probably TMI but I really fancy the Wiggles' pirate!!!!:eek:


    i asked him to about the car insurance refund and the tax office mistake, but they are all crap when it comes to giving you money they owe you. Brilliant at pestering you when they are trying to get your money.

    We have had terrible trouble with Aviva, and getting them to actually pay out for car claims.
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x
