    That's more than I've done today in the way of cleaning.

    I totally blitzed the downstairs yesterday, moving furniture, wiping skirting boards, cleaning switch plates, top of door frames etc. :A
    Today though - it looks like a total tip again! I give up.
  • There's a little saying I like, which seems appropriate

    "cleaning the house while your kids are still growing, is like shovelling the path before its stopped snowing" :)

    I love that MissO and read it out to all the Mums at work when I read it at lunchtime! Think I'd need Kim and Aggie if I were to leave it that long though :D

    Not much to report today.
    I've got a friend's daughter with me on work experience for a week, so I spent most of the day finding things for her to do and ended up not doing much myself....
    Plus I bought her breakfast and my own lunch at work, so spent £3.20 of my £20 :mad: Think that's going to end up a 2 horse race between Hypno and Flying Fresian.....(I need to source an illegal eye-rolling smiley from somewhere)

    I'm waiting for a £10.50 from Ebay - plus received £5.61 from Quidco :T
    Got home late, so didn't go to Yoga - so £5 saved there :A

    Hope you've had a good day if you're reading :)
  • I still have £20 clean and in tact in my purse - well £10 notes x 2 but still looks good :)

    Moneywise not much to report today. Bought lunch for myself and my student in the canteen = £4.95 :eek:

    I need to get some more stuff listed on Ebay and Amazon. I'm gathering a pile, so will do that on Friday. And need to chase a non-payer on Ebay :mad: Why do people bid of they don't want it???

    Managed a few Flylady 15 minute stints of decluttering this evening. A charity pushed a bag through the door, so I've filled that ready for collection tomorrow. :A

    There's a pile of ironing winking at me, but sack that! I'm shattered tonight, so it will have to wait. I'm getting tired of working all week /cleaning all weekend, but the upside is the house is getting straighter :T
  • Can you claim back dinners for student?

    Sounds like you deserve a night resting, I HATE non paying bidders - why bother?

    I'll send you a rolo over - did consider finding a picture and posting it of a rolo but I'm not here really :cool:
