Hi everyone...not had chance to catch up on the thread (and probably won't get chance today either) so hope everyone is all ok. Although I did notice that Soappie's DIL needs a bit WELL DONE! :j

Updated list here and I am pleased to say I have one thing to cross off 5 things this week list and have made a substatial dent in the ironing so can nearly cross off another.

Declutter the floors and flat surfaces
Level Two
Wipe sofas
Vacuum floors... or mop them.. whatever..

Wiggly Wednesday ~ Bathroom, Loo, Study
Wipe the paintwork and radiators in these rooms
Thursday ~ Master Bedroom & Landing

ETA: A lady that sits about a foot away from DH at work has suspected swine flu.:eek:

On a positive note though I got my reserved copy of Thrifty ways for modern living from the library today and they waived my overdue fine as my books were due back on Tuesday and I was busy being ill in bed all day! What a nice lady. Good karma heading back her way.

Too Choosey - If you can do it online without having the hassle of needing to phone up or go into register - then just do it online! I would, its clearly much easier now than it used to be.

I joined online banking many many moons ago....... x

I use A&L. The banking is fine, but they whap you for charges if (as I did) you go o/d by 36p for 1 day :mad: £24 IIRC :mad:

I've used my pedometer today. Actually, I used two to see how accurate they are. One reads 5138 and the other 14617, ....for those with pedometers, which do you think is the most accurate?

Got to be the second one :T :rotfl:

Off for HHI, quickly followed by HHC (filing :rolleyes: ) 2:45 - 3:45

For charges Abbey is THE worst.. possibly on a par with Natwest who have been horrendous with my sister.. they froze her account and refused to give her any of her benefit money when she was made redundant!! TSB aren't too awful.. they are much much better than they used to be and A&L I have never had a bit of bother with!
