    This is my list from Monday for this week. Thank you to everyone who helped me delete the Direct Debits to charities. Thanks too to DK I think, for the links so I can still give a bit by clicking.

    DH and I are going into town together to get cash out of building society. He has a bit in his name only, an old ISA with about £100. We may as well have it than use credit cards.

    We are going to have our farewell meal tomorrow night for DS3 using Walkers crisps vouchers and DSs and DD paying the rest:D

    1.[STRIKE] Look for old Buildng society books and try to find enough cash for petrol to get to and from wedding.[/STRIKE]

    2.[STRIKE] Print out form to cash in premium bonds[/STRIKE]

    3. Research costs of loans and apply for one!!

    4. [STRIKE]Go through direct debits again and try to find something to cancel ??Amnesty International or ActionAid??[/STRIKE] Both have gone plus Motability

    5.[STRIKE] List lots more books[/STRIKE] and videos on amazon

    6. Find something to list on ebay- found but still not listed as my back is killling me!
    [STRIKE]
    7. Go to library for book about Paris[/STRIKE]

    8. [STRIKE]Tap DD and DSs for money they owe me.[/STRIKE][STRIKE][/STRIKE]

    9. [STRIKE]Take debit card from DH so he can't spend!! No I can't do it as he would be really hurt.[/STRIKE]
    10. Help, I can't think of anything else!! I am determined not to use my credit card for food to

    Hello all :hello:

    Hope everyone is well?

    Have had a reasonably good day, a bit fragmented but good. DD went to school today looking very grown up in her uniform. Only half a day today, stays for lunch tomorrow, then full time on Friday. Her not being around has upset DS (he's 5 months) - I think he'd got used to her being around all the time. So, today I've been flitting around like nobody's business!

    DS has decided that he wants to eat broccoli - we'd planned to go down the baby-led weaning route when he's six months (two weeks tomorrow), but he helped himself to it off my plate. DD started solids at the same age...obviously a family thing?!

    Anyway, here's what I achieved:

    [STRIKE]Strip and wash the bedding, remake bed before bedtime![/STRIKE] Took ages DS on the bed, DD climbing around....
    [STRIKE]Declutter the floor[/STRIKE] and vacuum it! [STRIKE]See if you can find a bit of floor you've not seen in a while![/STRIKE] DS doesn't like the hoover so will have to wait until OH is around to keep him company.

    Level Three
    [STRIKE]Tidy up the shoes and clothes that are scattered about[/STRIKE]
    Extras
    1. HHI
    2. wipe paintwork

    Online Tesco order - last time for a while as from next week I'm planning to go while DD is at school. Easier to cope with just one of them with me.

    Have done my dailies and have continued with my time and motion study - I've got loads of gaps where I simply can't remember what I was doing today :confused:. Never mind....it's supposed to help me identify where my time's going (at the moment it's going on writing this bloomin' time log!).


    We've got a bit of thunder and lightning going on here at the moment - in the distance, about 20 miles away I think. I just went to put DS down on the bed as he's gone to sleep, and there was a big flash of lightning! Hope it comes this way - love a good storm.

    Hope everyone has a good evening.
    Take care

    Living room done so I need THREE STARS please! Go Me!
    slightly out of synch as I did the bathroom and not the bedroom but with one bucket full of mopping water I washed the kitchen floor, the bathroom floor, the bathroom bin and the cat litter tray! And I gave my flip-flops a swish in it too as I wore them when I painted the shed. They are now outside getting washed by the rain...

  • You must be using a different version from me I'm either related to the men I know on there or they are horrors

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I read in todays paper that 70% of women on fb are contacted by men unknown to them. Thankfully I'm in the 30% ;)

    Hi everybody - a rare post from me this week - have been signed off work with stress so am trying to keep myself away from watching daytime tv all day and my mind off work. Have done nothing this week so its been a catch up day. h2b has rang to see how i am and has told me off for doing too much on my first day off, hes probably right so i'm gonna call it a day... so far:


    Hi svjenni...take it easy. Your body needs time to rest and heal xx

    (((pooh bear))) - have you been onto the DFW boards? You might get more detailed help on how to cut your spends or up your income. I do mystery shopping and on line surveys when I can xx
  • Oh and the smurfs...Dusty's and G&B's look really grumpy and that's not an adjective I'd use for either of them. Are they the same smurf? My favourite is hex's...the gardner :D

    What's left

    DS3 locate footwear for PE - don't fit, need a plan b
    Hoover Living Room
    Clean washing machine filter
    check bank accounts

    Not bad - I'll do the bank accounts now before training and then the filter once DS3 is in bed - think I'll teach OH how to do it as I don't like doing it.
