Sorry, didn't mean to make you *do* things :rotfl:

ClootiesMum

Morning all

Sorry, didn't mean to make you *do* things :rotfl:

Yeah Hypno - course you didn't

Anyhow today is a work day so I'm off in a few minutes to earn a crust but I have a couple of tasks that need to be completed today

MSE

Usual daily stuff - pigsback, HM lunch, spreadsheets & the like - done
Aiming for a NSD - done
There's a pallet at work that I need to liberate to tidy up the hen run (they only go to the bin so it's not really naughty - people just think I'm strange ) - didn't fit in my car so tomorrow will liberate DH of his jeep to acquire said pallet
Need to raid meat in fridge & vacuum pack & freeze what we'll not use in next few days Done

Non MSE

Have to run anti-virus on Aunt's laptop for her - have called aunt to get her laptop password
Have to call round 3 lawyers to get ideas for conveyancing prices & mimimum timescales (ever hopeful for Mum's house) - done
More ironing calling -done


Anyway, only wee sniffles today so off to spread joy and peace in my work.

Have a good day folks

ClootiesMum

Morning people - how are we all in diaryland?

Off to work in a mo but just time to make up today's tasks

MSE

Daily stuff - done
I have a MS to do after work - done & uploaded
Start an on-line shop to be delivered later this week

Non MSE

Bit of gardening
Take out car fuse for aerial - it's bent, doesn't go up or down & the motor makes a dreadful racket - Aerial doesn't have a fuse so back to drawing board
Clean out 1 drawer (probably Mum's as it's getting a bit full). Done, but not Mum's drawer, only a wee one

I know it sounds a bit boring but as I caused havoc at work yesterday before I left & I think the fallout will continue today, I deserve a quiet day at home.

Here goes - off into the big wide world once more.

Take care folks

Morning all,

A bit bleary eyed here as DH insisted on trying to run anti-virus stuff on PC until all hours of the morning. So today I'm being gentle with me

MSE

Daily stuff


Non MSE

Will run anti-virus stuff on Aunt's PC - if I start as soon as I finish work I might get finished by bedtime.....
Give house a quick tidy - DH is off tomorrow & it'll mean less work for him & also means that I know where things are :rolleyes:

And that's all I'm aiming for today - if I manage to stay awake & alert at work all day I'll be doing really well - so once more, off I go to the big bad world of banks.

The last few days have been a bit chaotic - but as the house was tidy, clean clothes could be worn & there was food in the fridge things have been copeable.

That's why I'm trying to be organised - if I can deal with the necessary things on a regular basis then when life throws some chaos in my direction then that is all I have to deal with - makes sense in my world, honest.

Mum's house sale seems to be going well - have had about 10 viewers & there are 3 notes of interest in. I now have to call the estate agts myself to check when I can go to check on the house.....

And Asda had a brilliant sale on yesterday - have got about 3-4 months worth of dog food in for what I would normally spend in a month :j - DH is so well trained - he knows to buy bargains when he sees them (have also got a stockpile of washing up liquid & dishwasher tablets that will last at least 6 months for the grand total of £3.45.

The problem now is that I won't be able to get £5 of a £50 online spend - as I won't need to spend that much (most of what we eat is fresh food) but that's nothing to complain about.

Anyhow today's tasks for me are as follows

MSE

NSD (easy as not leaving house)
Daily stuff - spreadsheets,pigsback etc
Menu plan from freezer & cupboards for the week

Non MSE

Clean house
Washing
Ironing

Am off to get another cup of coffee & then start house - boring, I know, but then the week at work is easier as I don't have to pick up lu,mps of dog hair from everywhere on a minute by minute basis.

Primula

Great bargains. And great achievement OH being trained to look out for them too. Some of your "to do" list should be on mine today - particularly ironing, but I'm having fun on here instead!
Happy ironing!

ClootiesMum

Happy ironing!

It's not started yet it might have to wait as it is good fun on here - but washing's done so that's a start....


No - must go clean & iron NOW

:money: You did well! Mr. Fire Fox is quite the reverse ...:p

ClootiesMum

Cleaning now done - still to do ironing though

Primula - are you finished yet??

Fire Fox - ClootiesDad is quite good at rooting out bargains - he just has to learn which ones we need though - Remember the IrnBru promo (I think it's back on now) where you got a glass for every 2 x 2l that you bought. At the end of the promo the glasses were getting sold to staff for 2 pence each. He bought a case of 36 :eek:. We give them away but still have loads left - Thankfully we have a large garage for storage.
One year he brought home about 20 raffia plant pots (would hold a pot about 3 in diameter) as they were being thrown out. But we did use them - we were skint that Christmas so for all the 'minding' presents that we have we made macaroon & other sweetie things & put tissue paper in the plant pots & gave them as gifts. Yo - that is MSE, isn't it.....:rotfl::rotfl:

Anyhow - I'll go & set up the ironing board now & at least look interested..
