I want to be a MFW........ LP's Diary

KimmyCustard

Morning LP

Last night duty done and managed some sleep so going to stay up and tackle some of the boring stuff to be done on my list! My OH doesnt ever do lists and yes, he would lose it even if he had one too!

Read your new diary and will be subscribing to that as you are the one that has inspired me to pay extra off our mortgage! The plan is an extra £75 per month until our £3000 of debt is paid off. Hope to start saving for some house maintenance to be done then, new soffits/fascias, carpet and suite. Never ending list.....again!

OH sustained an injury at work due to negligence of the officers in charge in Feb this year so he's hoping for a little compensation for that. He will pay off our credit card and I'm convincing him he needs a new car as well.

hahaha naughty kimmy. Newer car is naughty although we need one too. Not quite worked out how that will fit into my money saving/overpaying plans Lottery win perhaps

KimmyCustard

He REALLY does need a new car, I gave him my old one in 2006 and its being held together with sellotape more or less! He deserves it as well, mines a Mercedes and is v comfy, he needs a good one to travel to and from work as well.

Did some Crimbo shopping again yday, nearly all done.

How are you feeling today?

LilacPixie

I'm good. OH doing overtime, my sister has taken the kids so i'm making an online shop order for move day in new house. Mostly household cleaning stuff because I have no intention of cooking at all that day but will need milk for next day.

KimmyCustard

You really are organised arent you??! Erm no, I wouldnt think you'll have any time or inclination to cook on moving day! Will your rellies take the girls for the day when you move?

OH is on the Stop the war march in London at the mo, home for around 9pm. Havent seen much of him this week as we've been opposite shifts so we'll have some wine and a curry when he gets in .

Have just written almost all my Christmas cards, now who's organised?? :A

Wow Lilac that is super organised!

Kimmy you are good, i always put writing the cards off till i really have to!

KimmyCustard

Hi Cath :wave:

So do I usually but OH got them all out of the loft for me and I'm home alone, so thought I'd make a start! If the cat ever leaves me alone for 5 minutes, I'll go and have a drink as well :rotfl:

When we moved house in June, we did not cook - it was reduced sandwiches from the co-op for breakfast after DD dropped off, a lunch run to greggs for all helpers and eventually we got a chinese takeaway for us and happy meal for DD - really happy about this.

I have only started buying a few christmas presents but not doing too badly. DD presents are all bought and wrapped apart from main present which will be collected from the shop on 23rd Dec. I will need to start writing the christmas cards hopefully tomorrow and some of next week.

I am super organised, kids pressies wrapped, in respective sacks and stashed in the mother in laws reay to be smuggled into ours after move. My parents having kids thursday evening/friday all day for us so that will be nice. Cards I think will be abandoned, I really cannot be bothered.
