    Thanks Time2GrowUp (which, sadly, I have never done ;) - can't believe I'm officially middle aged)
    I've not attempted ebay yet - I like reading & preparation so I'm doing that at moment for full assault later

    It turns out DH misread letter & I'm only off for an assessment this month - as 3 sep dentists have already assessed the situation I can probably skip this step - but remainder of tooth needs to come out so I will go for appointment.

    Anyhow for tommorrow's menu I have planned

    MSE
    Update spreadsheets -done
    H/made lunch -done
    More e-bay book - read a wee bit - but the Mentalist was on (drool)
    Provide haircut to Doggy Boy No 1 :eek: - this may look scary but it saves about £15 - done - dog looks gorgeous
    Check FLA have recorded 2 complaints re PPI as only one ackowledgement recd -done

    Non MSE
    Practise fur styling after haircut on Doggy Boy 1 - not done - this would be BAD
    Another letter out to a long time friend - done
    Fix bathroom cupboard door - this will take approx 10 seconds but has been waiting 1 yr to be done - done
    Hang Ikea curtain rod in conservatory - done
    Phone call to Mum's pal who I try to keep in contact with (this can take an hour or so....) - done

    So tomorrow will be busy - also have a top boss man coming to office so have to be presentable in morning - much coffee is required...

    Have a good one folks

    Thanks for popping on to my diary. I love your lists. DH got me into using lists but I am not very good at them but I do try. You have reminded me I have a pile of paperwork needing filed away before cat sitter is here while we are away. Too many bits of info I don't want known outside the four walls of this house and this lovely anonymous site.

    Thanks ScottishMummy - & believe me, I fully understand re recognition in the streets....

    Now, paperwork needing filing you say - can't you shred that for the cat litter tray - wonderful recycling if you ask me.

    Hmmm, I'm a bit of a paperwork hoarder - bank statements for seven years etc!

    Wee bit of ironing needing done - done
    1 hour gardening - shame, it's raining
    Find spare bulb for dining room light & change this (again only a wee thing but this is really annoying me) - prepped - need to but lightbulb tomorrow

    Trust me - they get their pound of flesh before they insist they put another pound on us....

    But it is nice & we supply our own brown sauce to make things even yummier

    It's the weekend - at last

    DH is off tomorrow :jso tomorrow will be a day off from MSE. He has noticed that I've been doing things around the house but is not saying much - I think he's just happy not having to think about cleaning house/clean clothes/ironed clothes/eating..... I think I've drawn the short straw here. But he did look concerned yesterday when I marched into the living room wielding a hammer - he jumped up from the seat pretty damn quick (hammer was for door hinge - what else?:rolleyes:).

    Anyway, for today

    MSE

    Spreadsheets -done
    Pigsback - done
    Air dry clothes - being done
    Much more of e-bay book - read a bit more
    Tidy out cupboard in spare room as this is going to be my e-bay stash place & I know there are ebayables in there - turns out this is a scary job so only part done

    Non MSE

    Go shopping for the week's supplies - done
    Clean house :( - done
    I have some work forms that need to be done - I'm not in the habit of bringing work home but on this occassion - needs must & if I have this done I'll not feel as harrassed on Monday - done
    Gardening - weather permitting - it rained - honest
    Fix the door on the TV cupboard - DH has never got round to this so it's time to put him to shame. -mostly done
    Anyhow - away off to tidy before going shopping (a necessary evil in my book)

    Have a good weekend folks

    Monday again :( where did the weekend go?

    Anyway - on to brighter & better things - todays challenges are......

    MSE

    Update spreadsheets - done
    Aim for a NSD - so far so good - & I'm home now with no intentions of going out
    Forage in kitchen for home made lunch - Done & eaten
    Pop onto gardening forum for advice on what I can still plant - went on to do this & found someone els had done the same - much thanking but no need to post now
    Pigsback - done

    Non MSE

    Phone lawyer re Mum's estate - done
    Phone gardener to arrange for her to go and attack Mum's garden - done
    Wee bit of ironing to get done
    Hope to get 1 hr of gardening done - it's chucking it down & roads have been closed due to floods so the nearest I'll get to gardening is putting the sandbags out
    Finish off cupboard door - OK, I'll not make a joiner but the door now opens on 2 hinges instead of 1

    Have a good day folks

    As DH ain't home yet (he doesn't know about this diary - he'd get upset) I'm going to work out tomorrow's stuff to be done

    MSE

    Home foraged lunch -done & enjoyed
    Spreadsheets - done
    Look out seeds that I have so I can work out what I need to get to plant out at weekend. - done & seeds shopping list made up
    Pigsback - done
    Have another NSD - woohoo - 2 in a row

    Non MSE

    Finish clearing that *&%$£** cupboard in the spare room- done - and how much junk did I find???
    Hand in letter to lawyers that I received today & need to sign - will hand in 7am tomorrow but have had this signed & witnessed
    Clear out another file from personal filing box - done, but it's the last of the small files - the next 4 are biggies (can you guess I keep stuff "just in case"
    Make up a template shopping list - that way I don't have to think as much when I'm organising the shopping - OK this will have to passed on to tomorrow's list as time is not on my side today
    Work out how to amend/change title of thread - it just sounds soooo boring (almost as boring as me) -got it sussed & I'm really chuffed

    Well folks, off to do the ironing now - & pray it doesn't rain too much as I really don't fancy another 5am wake up to hear the neighbours shouting that the house is flooding (as happened last August).

    Have a good day folks
