    Good morning Taxi

    You really have been productive recently!

    I need to go to bed for a couple of hours and then need to get on with the endless list of chores.

    love

    Avon are really good at tracking at paying out - although my lastest order has gone walkies - apparantly it was signed for by the delivery driver - god knows where he left it but if it was on the doorstep its been pinched - great!

    Hope you had a good sleep xx x

    it's funny taxi but i've been on these boards for 3 years and have only now plucked up the courage to use quidco, i think i always thought that it would never work for me, but i managed to get my house insurance for £100 less than the renewal quote and £80 cashback so i'm keeping my fingers crossed.

    OMG....what are they going to do about it?

    I hope they don't leave it outside mine as my front door is on the street!!!...I would hope they had sense to knock on the neighbours door.

    It's great Quidco.I have used it every year since coming on here basically for house insurance and the odd bingo account.

    I very rarely shop yet alone online...(was scared of shopping online..LOL)

    Online you can get some real bargains though especially when they are pointed out on these boards..LOL

    So now must remember to use cashback each time I shop as every little helps.:T:T

    Afternoon all..just a quick one from here for now.
    I promise to carch up with you all over the next few days.
    There's been "stuff" going on here and the long and short of it is is that I ended up having to do a 14 hour shift on monday night!!!...couldn't sleep properly yesterday and it's put everything out all week now!!!

    I need to update my sig but will do it when I log on again.

    Think I need to write a list of to do stuff for this month..as there's loads.

    So here goes:
    (1) Do accounts..have had a letter from accountant!!!......DONE AND BEING HANDED IN TOMORROW:T
    (2)Do complaint letter for Vauxhall....DONE AND HANDED IN:T
    (3)Go to council and renew taxi badge and take insurance documents in...WILL DO TOMORROW AS NEAR ACCOUNTANTS:o
    (4)Buy JJ some of those books that help with his writing....DONE:T:T
    (5) Keep on top of washing
    (6)Deep clean bedroom 1
    (7)Deep clean bedroom 2
    (8)Deep clean bathroom
    (9)Deep clean hall/stairs/landing
    (10)Deep clean both living rooms
    (11)Deep clean kitchen.

    So this month is all cleaning and paper work and I need to come up with a plan to keep on top of the accounts.


    As you can see made a start on the list.
    I've started on the housework but haven't done much or even completed one room yet...so need to put more effort in there!!!

    Am getting on top of the washing but not quite there yet but will make sure it's finished by today.

    Am going to do one room today...well when DH goes to work as can't be making loads of noise when he's in bed.
