SAHM needs to pay off debts

slm6002

to be honest i think it is going to take quite a lot of moving things around to get the dishwasher where it needs to be but i am sure it will be worth it. So excited. OH is collecting it tomorrow evening but not sure when it will be plumbed in yet.

I have also been thinking about another little project - i think i might change part of our clothes wardrobe into my office rather bing under the stairs. We dont really use this part of the wardrobe for anything other than junk and if the computer and my records were moved up there i could store the mess of childrens toys in the understairs cupboard. I am just thinking it through at the moment before i mention it to the OH. I just like the idea of the living room being toy free once the children have gone to bed. I honestly think i would have more room if i turned wardrobe into office plus there is a phone line and plug sockets there already. Probably wouldnt cost anything to do either.

Triggles

slm - you can use your sky box for free basic sky (like freeview) I believe - I'm not sure of all the details, but if you browse the section that has tv stuff in it, I'm sure it's there. Or you may find it on the sky website.

I like the office idea. We keep our office stuff in the dining room, in one corner. And then our computer is a laptop, so I can work on things during the day in the living room if I'd like, which is handy. I try to keep the living room toy free in the evening - we have DS2 help pick up all the toys that have been out during the day and put them in a toy box at 5:30 when he is getting ready to start his bedtime routine.

i am quite tempted to move the office and have mentioned it in passing to OH but there was no real comment - this may be a good sign as he didnt say 'dont be daft woman' or words to that effect which he normally does if he doesnt like the idea!

I have the dishwasher in my kitchen - in fact right in the middle of the kitchen so we are having to move around it to get anywhere. I am hoping that i might be able to transfer the contents of one freezer into our other freezer and then move things around. Just had brainwave though and could just move the other freezer nearer to the table and then move things around. Once we have inherrited my dads upright freezer both of the smaller ones should go.
Sorry that was a bit of a ramble. Still need to get the plumbling sorted though so a week or so away from getting it fitted yet i would have thought.

Looking at it now and i can see quite a few things need doing quickly. Must do my mum and step dads tbag cards and then i can send the parcel off - must do before 10th as this is the last day for posting.

Also have a lot to do round house so 5 min more on here then major housework day. Have a good day everyone x

just found out that one of my freezers has been left open slightly and therefore everything inside had defrosted. Not sure when it was left open but think i went in there yesterday for dinner. One of the drawers had not been shut. I do hate waste but not really sure what will be safe to eat

slm6002

well we have had rather a large dinner made up from things that we hope will not make us ill from the defrosted freezer. On the plus side we now have one freezer empty which in turn makes room for the dishwasher - not that i like to waste the food - really was not much in the end. night everyone

I feel like i have achieved quite a lot today and the fact that the tbag cards have now all be finished is quite a relief.

Also got some money off one of my clients that was well overdue so very happy - this will be going into the bank 1st thing monday morning!

slm6002

Think i will now go and finish the wrapping up as OH working at the pub again tonight for a few more pennies - only got santas pressies to wrap and then i think i am done

slm6002

Another thing off the list - mums pressies are now on the way to the usa - hope you are all having a good day. Just put money into the bank as well so all is going well here today - now off to make dinner for later and to wash up - dishwasher still not plumbed in - plumber friend couldnt make it this weekend but never mind hopefully this weekend i will have it all working

Good news on getting the dishwasher !

It sounds like your all set for Christmas too. I must get organised , I don't feel like I am , although I probably am really. Just don't feel that way! Can't believe it's nearly Christmas , Where does the time go once you've had children!
