Morning all! Hypno, sorry for the hijack about all the bingo sites, it must be a pain - thats the problem with having followers :rotfl:

No problem re hijack......another really useful place to go for more info on such things is the "make £10 a day challenge" where they kindly put links to lots of these things in the first couple of posts. Would be worth a look.
Flylady today is lounge, hall, stairs.....which suits me because I did a fair bit of that yesterday, so easy to finish off.Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0 -
Thats good. I used to do the £10 challenge all the time, I don't quite understand why I dropped it
kept doing the stuff, but not the challenge, which can leave you floundering a bit....

I've still not heard from DD - I am assuming she is having a good time!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0 -
Thats who I was thinking of..... isn't it amazing that she's just *out there* doing her thing. At least we haven't seen over-adrenalised teenagers quarantined in a hotel with their laptops on the news........ thinking of it, I don't know what sights she's going to be seeing, is she in Beijing? Terracotta Warriors? The Great Wall? Sigh..........2023: the year I get to buy a car0

i'm going to give the aforementioned bingo site a go this week, may have to wait until payday though. Thanks for the information.
grrr to unreliable paydays, i don't know how you cope with not knowing which day OH's wages will arrive.
wrist was slightly improved when i woke up but has now worsened due to rsi at work. Who knew that work was detrimental to your health along with housework???0 -

I did! Last time I mopped the floor I slipped over, last time I hoovered my cream carpet I ran over a biro (without noticing, I promise) and ended up with huge ink stains everyone (luckily they came out with alcohol, the wonders of the internet). Whenever I try to do something 'good' I always end up hurting myself or making the situation worse. Moral of the story, housework = bad. Luckily I have a new deal with DH where I cook and he cleans because we each like one thing and hate the other :TDebt at highest Nov '06 £17,822.98
