Well done BB - you're going to have it licked in no time!! I've got a DVD turning up in the next few days from Tesco that will have to go on ebay as well - and I've got bits I want to list tomorrow as well while it's still free listing. I really ought to stick on the Take That CD I bought for the 500 points - maybe I will, maybe I won't!

Decided to head out to tescos after tea, figured it would be quieter than tomorrow, ended up spending £45, thought I'd been quite good as I didn't actually get much food, but I did buy lots of non-food stuff that bumped up the total, like guinea pig stuff, a big bottle of Persil, shampoo and conditioner etc :rolleyes:

Its all put away now just in time for x factor (and a glass or two of Baileys ), and I've had another bid on ebay, taking it up to £31 So, only £3 to go to get rid of my Next account :j

benbenandme

Yay, just got £20 from a matched bet, £3 towards Next and the rest into the mortgage pot, nice to be back on track and back to the mortgage pot

Morning, my plans for a lie-in were scuppered when ds woke me up at 7 :mad: I managed to protest for about half an hour but by then I was awake anyway so got up, my throat hurts again this morning and I feel like I need about another 4 hours sleep, maybe I'll try and grab half an hour on the sofa later :rolleyes:

Nothing much planned for today, weather is pants yet again so no point going too far ... maybe I'll get the cards finished and have a general mooching day again:D

I think that you need a very lazy day - don't push yourself to do too much.

Been looking at the calendar and realised how little time I have left before Christmas So, today is now earmarked for getting the flat in order, cleaning and tidying it to within an inch of its life, moving the piglets into my room so theres room for the tree (getting it next weekend), putting up some other decs, writing cards etc etc ... Next weekend ds is away but not going until the saturday, then I'm going to get the tree with a friend, but we're helping each other get them up and straight etc, then I'm out in the evning with friends, then catching up with brother and sil on sunday as I'm not seeing them at Christmas, so there won't be much time to fit in anything else next weekend, so if I dont crack on with it today it won't happen until we break up in 2 weeks time

So, I will be popping in and out today, ds is on board and seems excited about it all at the moment so I'd better get going before his enthusiasm disappears

benbenandme

Ds is being a superstar so far, we've got the lounge, my bedroom and kitchen straight :j Some bits need a more thorough clean but while he was keen to keep going I kept finding him bits to put away. Just stopping for a snack then its on to his bedroom

Blimey BB... your a whirlwind.... you are so gonna kick my butt into 2010!!

Did you manage to get rid of your old TV?

benbenandme

Nope, old tv is still sat in my lounge but I'm hoping my brother and brother-in-law can move it for me next weekend

We've decided as we've been so productive this morning that we're going to go for a walk in the forest this afternoon, then Mum said she'll cook us a roast Will be on the lookout for some holly and bits to make some indoor arrangement with too. When we get back later I need to get the cards finished and get the ebay stuff ready to post. Back later
