Lost in the middle - getting organised and debt free

That is why I am not turning my computer on until something has been achieved. Like today I managed to do the washing up and clean the kitchen and put all the clean clothes tidily away in drawers before coming here. It doesn't sound like a great achievement but trust me it was mahooosive.

Now I have a massive frog to eat. It is to do with the bailiff stuff and now it seems that it is also affecting my rental contract situation making it very complicated. Pah. But before I can do that I need a shower and lunch. Then DD needs some entertainment. I am hoping I won't be too tired later to get cracking with it. The ball on that has to be rolling tomorrow the latest before we head to the bank holidays and everything gets put on hold.

So today has been a good day despite appearance of one very difficult task. I already knew about it but didn't realise that another difficult task was linked to it. So tomorrow morning that is the first Frog to eat before doing anything else (apart from boiling the kettle for coffee).

I have:
- Done washing up
- Tidied all clean clothes away
- Done one load of washing (need to still hang to dry)
- Cooked from storecupboards
- Emptied 4 boxes of stuff on my bedroom floor and sorted them into boxes. (Unfortunately the fullest box is the keep box - might need to go through this again, however quite a lot went to the shredding pile as well.)
- Gone to the park and playground with DD

And the best thing is that only now I am starting to feel tired. So obviously I have managed to be productive without getting exhausted. Sadly I don't know how I did it so don't know if I can replicate it tomorrow.

Tasks still to do:
- Get DD to bed
- Hang the washing (is it hang or hung?)

Then the rest of the evening is for chilling out watching telly and stitching.

Took the frog from the horns. Posted a plea of help HERE

Today nothing much else has been done. Except had really nice time with DD. We went to have pub lunch and then to play ground and then to mess around by the brook before having ice creams sitting on the bench outside. I have now an hour before I am taking her to swimming lesson so better but the washing machine on, bring yesterday's washing in and put away.

Oh and I managed to get hold of my credit report. It wasn't as bad as I thought. And nothing mentioned about the county court judgement agains me. How peculiar! I tried to get the competitor report as well but what an utter waste of time!!! I might try again tomorrow - or maby not.

It is hung the washing up, as in past tense. and I am going to hang the washing up - as in future/present tense.

You may need to ask the letting agency what credit referencing they are using, that they can see the CCJ.

Ah - that is what I thought.

Thanks for your point. I have answered in my other thread. Really must log off now and get something done before tiredness kicks in again. So far so good.

Nothing much achieved today. Correction: nothing achieved today.

But I have had McD picnic with DD in the back garden and also we had such fun throwing frisbee sitting down. Also I have booked tickets for a very good animation in cinema tomorrow. And the tickets were only one pound each!! Bargain!!

BF will be here waiting for the arrival of the cooker in the morning and he has plans on taking me out in the afternoon while DD is with her dad. I am very curious what he has in his mind as it is my birthday tomorrow. So better call the cooker place now and make sure they are going to be here in the morning instead trying to come in the afternoon when everybody is out.

I am so chuffed about the cooker, well oven actually, as I have lived here over five months trying to manage with the very rubbish one and finally my LL has got their finger out and got it sorted. Still need to arrange the guy to come next week to install it. And then I can finally defrost my gingerbread dough from the freezer and bake it. Woop woop!!

To achieve today (hopefully)

- plan of action to sort out the bailiffs (bit lost on that one now)
- pack all the parcels that need to go to post office tomorrow (=4)
- write cheque for Guide Dogs for raffle tickets (my biannual contribution to them)
- do washing up
- bring clean clothes in and put away
- email my court statements to mediator
- see if I can open FW's spreadsheet with my laptop (PC wasn't playing ball but I know I have a converter on my laptop that should do the trick)

To achieve today (hopefully)

- plan of action to sort out the bailiffs (bit lost on that one now) - will write/email to PM for the area where I used to live
- pack all the parcels that need to go to post office tomorrow (=4) - will do
- write cheque for Guide Dogs for raffle tickets (my biannual contribution to them) - will do
- do washing up - nope
- bring clean clothes in and put away - nope
- email my court statements to mediator - can't find it in electronic format anywhere, need to scan it in work on Tuesday and then send it
- see if I can open FW's spreadsheet with my laptop (PC wasn't playing ball but I know I have a converter on my laptop that should do the trick) - was able to open it but not happy with the colour palette in the old version of Excel so sent her PM asking if ok do at work on Tuesday.

So at least I have tried to do some of the things. But now I need to clear this table if I am going to have something to eat. (No room for plates). BF has promised chinese take away
