Right, you asked for it...

Washing Mountain



Cat sits on washing that's been folded



Cat sits on washing yet to be folder



Other cat sits on newly-formed Sock Mountain



Little sods! As soon as you turn your back they're moulting all over the washing!

Sock Mountain has yet to be conquered, maybe tomorrow! Pictures of cards and baking to follow...

I have a similar problem with DS.... when the washing is out the TD/off the line, I chuck it on the sofa to be folded.... the next thing I hear is 'Mummy, I climbing the big mountain' and there is my little darling sat on top of the clean washing! Love 'em

Some of the cards I have done...not very good really but I'm quite proud

Loving the cards!

In terms of a blog, you can always have some stuff on blog and some here. I use blogger, which is part of google, and is really easy to use, and free, obviously. I started it so I could share pictures with family, just send them the linky thing.

Morning all!

I decided to try a different tack with BB today so have bought loads of single tickets for games and will check back tonight to see if I have won anything. Nothing came of the penny game at 7am (Harrumph!)

I need to go and sort out a couple of Ebay parcels, and that will be my penance done on Ebay for a couple of days - only one other item is selling at the moment and it's due to end today, so I will send Mr Fresian to the Post Office with those this week. Lucky man

Money situation is thus:

Spends = £57
PAD = £0 (Still PADding to my overdraft from my spends account though)
Entertainment = £50.55
Groceries = £84.67
Purse = £13

We get paid early for Christmas meaning that there are.....18 days until payday. Sadly that means that when I get paid on the 18th there will be 35 days until the next payday :eek: :eek: :eek: I'm thinking of putting my whole wage into another account and not touching it until my normal payday of the 23rd. What do you think internets?

I'm still waiting on some money from Ebay coming through (£29.48) and will have about another £10 once today's auction ends. Before postage costs/Ebay fees I have made about £180 selling tat in the last fortnight, hurrah! I'm also still waiting on £14.23 from Music Magpie, but knowing my luck that cheque will arrive on Christmas Eve and take DAYS to clear.

*edit* £11.26 should be paid out from Quidco today and arrive in my account later in the week, hurrah!

Must stop procrastinating and start wrapping stuff for Ebay. Have a good Monday y'all!

sounds like a good idea. We used to get paid on the last working day of the month, but then at Christmas we got paid on 21st or the friday before, whichever was earlier -which meant that January was a reeeaally long month. So long as you move it back in time for the DD's etc.

My morning so far:

Woke up early, leisurely perusal of internet and slurping of coffee.

Wrapped Ebay parcels, felt virtuous.

Realised I hadn't put hot water on for shower. Had to faff about for ten minutes waiting for it to heat.

Showered, ran around trying to find clean clothes.

Went to have cereal, Mr Fresian has drunk most of the milk. Curse him.

Had toast. Now not enough bread for lunchtime and my hard earned Boots points will have to go on a sandwich.

Now - it's 8.13am and I haven't filled my flasks or applied make-up. I think I might miss my bus and I have given up on being in on time.

It's a good thing I type quickly...:rotfl:
