Karmacat: To Infinity And Beyond!

Karmacat

Oopsie ... bit more to do on the French stuff - realised I hadn't scanned the mortgage info, and then quite a few of the scans have to be printed, so the info will be going out next week now. Thats okay, as long as its by Wednesday, it'll be fine.

Today, I was chuffed with myself, I have to say - I managed to do a third item on my list of things-to-do-before-I-get-the-estate-agent-in: I got everything thats supposed to be in the garage in the garage! It was still more than I thought - I put the strimmer down there too. It all took half a dozen trips, amazing. So between that and the extra bits on the accounts, I'm really pleased.

And when I came back online just now, I got a free Ideal Home ticket, thanks to Martin - my idea for a green website is still in the back of my mind, and this time when I go, I'll do some proper research.

Well done you :T

Ideal Homes sounds good - we stumbled on a "Green Your Home" exhibition/ talk the other weekend (in same church hall as the farmers market), advice on how to make your house more environmentally-friendly, seemed to be quite popular.

Any plans for the weekend?

Sigh .... going to the shops will be about the most I can manage.... my mum and my sister are driving down on Monday to see me, so thats sort of a long weekend. I'm going to try to do the next "tidying" thing on the list before they come down, the visible stuff anyway (i.e. in the kitchen) - repotting plants, and chucking the basil.

Today, I'm off to London, in the car, so it'll be comfy. Tho it also means even less than usual is doing, dfw-wise and tidying-wise. I wasn't able to resist looking at rightmove this morning tho, and there's some nice ones on there for me, as low as £220k, tho that one would need a bit of tarting up.

Wow youve been really busy you should feel very proud of yourself. :beer: Wish I could get a bit more motivated again and clear some more rubbish. Im sure it would make me feel better to be more organised.

Karmacat

Thanks Turfy! The reason I'm doing so much clearing is that I didn't do any for years in fact, I got into selling on Amazon before I had any money problems, because I was sidling around all the bookcases full of books and specialist magazines - and since I live alone in a 3 bed house, you can tell that it was quite cluttered :rotfl:

I got a bit of a reprieve today - when my sister comes to see me on Monday, she's doing some shopping for me, so I don't have to go out today :A (= you are wonderful, sis).

So today, I'm going to tidy up this morning (i.e. put the washing away, stuff like that). Nothing big. I did *not* feel good yesterday in London.

Off to do the scratches.



EDIT - ha, just done a Tesco shop online (I can't ask my sister to get *everything* ) and discovered another way Tesco's is trying to diddle us: there's an offer on for Quorn bangers, 3 x 250g for £5. But the normal price for the Quorn fillets is 312g for £1.80 i.e. 3 x 312g for £5.20. Thats a lot more Quorn for only 20p more! I only got two lots, actually, no need to get 3. Ha

And I was good at shopping yesterday too: gluten free pasta reduced from £1.48 to £1.11 in Sainsbury's, and a half price offer on McVitie's choccie digestives - I bought the Sainsbury ones by mistake but looked at the receipt, as I am prone to do these days and they changed the item and gave me my 41p refund no problem.

Right ... a no-spend weekend was good, tho bad because I didn't have the energy to go anywhere/do anything. Still, got to find the positives....

Finally explored a business site I get emails from - its heartofbusiness.com - really interesting, because its got a *lot* of free content - he charges for the odd group, but the main thing he charges for is 1:1 coaching. Its started met thinking. And I looked at a few sites about bookselling on the web, which is another long term idea - not just my own tut on amazon, but trawling auctions and whatnot. There's a bloke who lives near my mum who does exactly that, and since there's a book auction next month near me, on a day that I'm free, I'm going to pop along (assuming *some* energy is back with me by then) to have a looksee.

I've got some paid work in the evening today, and my mum and my sister are visiting around lunchtime today, so its really a question of making sure the place is okay for them (which helps it be okay for me) and whatever paperwork I can do. Ug. I can *feel* the energy drifting away from me as I type that

Basically, I want to lol about and not do any work. Is that so wrong :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

redsquirrel80

Not wrong at all! Some interesting ideas there, hopefully it will lead somewhere

boredofbeingathome

I just want to LOL too- i have zero energy this morning.

I think it is through lack of sleep although i did have a bit of snooze early doors. I can't nap during the day unless i am poorly, so just keep going. I am still in pyjamas and dressing gown too.

Karmacat

LOL, I've just this minute come back from getting washed and dressed visitors here by midday, so I have to be, really.

There *are* some ideas around, aren't there.... real focus is actually on getting the energy flowing properly. I know its there, its just not *here*.

Karmacat

Well, I have some energy back this morning - and I've used it to print out all the scans of documents for France - my French accountant doesn't return documents :eek: took me a while to figure that out.

I just have to find one proof of a small sum paid to the French tax people, apart from the main payment that is, and add everything up into their 3 line form, write the envelope, and I'm done. I can't believe it! Its due end of April, so while they've sent me the first reminder, its not too bad.

Otherwise today, I've got a Tatco delivery coming. I've got a few admin bits to do - visa payment, email, blah blah.

And tomorrow, with being free from accounts and whatnot, I will start on the rest of my life! Of course what that means in practise immediately is that I'll start on this year's English accounts - I've just realised, that if I move house, its going to severely interfere with even my normal late routine, and it could end up being as bad as this year if I don't watch it - so I will watch it, and I'll aim to get 09-10 accounts done by, um, 1st July, sooner if the house sale seems to be going through.

I hope everyone has a good day.
