    Hi Jo,

    I just wanted to pop in too, to wish you well in good ole diary land. :T

    I have gotta say though, you seem to have alot of stalkers, me included for the af thread ;) Hey its because we all love you (()) xxxxxx

    Seriously Angel good luck and do keep it up, I feel for you and the lack of space, but you can do small things to make yourself feel better. Dear Fedup seems to be right on track, don't you think?

    So heres to decluttering and to a more positive outlook. Oh and getting organised for Crimbo and of course your Ds birthday.

    So I shall now be logging onto here too. There just never seems enough hours in the day :rotfl:

    Love n hugs and good luck
    Budgie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Hi Jo

    Just read this in the Boots Advantage Card magazine & think it's for you, me & all the other DFWs trying to be perfect & failing:

    "The pursuit of perfection is just the perfect excuse to do nothing."

    :D

Have had a fab weekend clearing 2 rooms, found 17p in one and 26p in the next.. can't wait to do the 3rd... I'll be rich...!!!:rotfl:

    Hello all hellowave.gif

    YM, thanks muchly for clearing up the mess you created ;) Hope you enjoy your few days off :)

    Budge, thanks for stopping by hi5.gif so glad to see you are keeping an eye on me ;) I know what you mean about not enough hours in the day, I can never keep up with all the diaries I want to read!!

    HB, "The pursuit of perfection is just the perfect excuse to do nothing." I think this quote was written about me :D :rotfl:

    Nessa, thanks for stopping by :D xx

    T2GU, thanks for popping in :) I don't 'do' hoovers in this thread, as much as HB would like me to :D We have a little more HSpamper.gifHStype.gifHSluvchoc.gif than people566.gifHSwash.gifHSiron.gifHSdishes.gif












    But don't tell HB HSsafetocomeoutff.gif

    As far as the motivational ramblings went yesterday, I did the 2 on my list as you know, but didn't manage the 3rd one :o it was the sink cleaning one. I did obviously clean the sink after dinner, but didn't do the Stardrops job on it that I'd promised :o

    For those that don't know (which is none of you :rolleyes:), I've quit drinking and tonight is AF Monday so tonight will be a very very long evening and I might try and fill it with housework'y type things like [STRIKE]reading my Marian Keyes book[/STRIKE] sink cleaning :D

    Hope everyone's well today?

    xx

  • Skids in.............hot from the AF spreadsheet

    Saving for Ds

    How about

    Ds dosh fund ? (ddf)

    Seymour (ie .........feed me seymour - ......little shop of horrors)

    Not saying that Ds is a horror more that the savings will need regular feeding ..... therefore he'll get a good birthday.....

    Nothings jumping out at me yet........away to think some more

    And I will expect text updates on the sink cleaning later
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:

    The thought of cleaning the sink depressed me :(

    In fact spending time in the kitchen depresses me big time!
