Money_saving_Diva_2

I really need to do a HHC.. anyone want to join me at 1445 - 1515?

Probably not as I know a lot of you have the school run but hey ho, just typing it here will make me get on with it.

Someone ask me about the spreadsheet when my half hour is up please? I am avoiding finishing it - my excuse is that we haven't done the freezer inventory yet so cannot finish it, so no point in doing anymore to it!!

Looking at the state of my desk... I'd say I don't qualify

I don't, however take food into the bedroom, spare room or bathroom (except for the occasional bit of chocolate when i'm feeling like an indulgent bath). However, there is clear evidence in the study and sitting room that I eat in them. My diet might be more effective if I only ate in the kitchen too

DW loaded an on. Client call cancelled, so I need to get back to writing between now and the call at 5pm.

Thanks but we only have 3 cats. Is fox poo a different shape - sort of bumpy - sorry if this is TMI but there was some on the front verge and it didn't look like dog and it certainly wasn't cat.

:rotfl:Quite probably! Can't believe I'm posting about poo again! lol:rotfl:

Fox droppings tend to be cylindrical but then taper to a point and looks like there is hair growing out of the end. Not sure how to describe it any other way.

Have done two windows - including the one in the spare bedroom :eek:

Monday all done - please may I have a star Toots!!!

MissH - I hope she's a good friend. Sorry you are having a bad day but it's so funny:rotfl:

Kazm - Hugs for you. We have had trouble with DS1 a bit like this - he seems to have past that phase now tho. When his mates come & trash the place(we have a family room we call the teenager pit) I bar em for a few days & explain why to DS1- the next few times they clean up after themselves(they all prefer to be at our house) - message seems to be getting through - I haven't barred them for a couple of months now & they are here most days.

Eating and drinking in any room you like
Eating chocolate whenever you like
Watching what you want on tv
Going to bed when you want
Choosing what is for dinner
Saying 'because I said so'

I'm sure there are heaps more.

Just having a crafty cuppa before I go to get Yoda.

Kitchen floor hoovered - will mop it, just not sure when!
