Done the car insurance, ...THEN I went to close Quidco down and realised I could have had £60 cash back :mad::mad::mad: does not describe it! sdhadoaof dasf(^£$JLC£)dfldn3_)(WI_"£$ED)(

If it makes you feel any better I should have got £70 cashback with an insurance last year - begins with Z...it never tracked and THAT company won't accept queries/tickets - so my hands were tied!

First job was cancelled this morning so I did the bathroom and my room, thinking I'm not gonna bother with the list everyday, it would be easier (and less stressful) for me to give myself a 2 hour window once a week and do the whole house, like I do at work. Hope that's ok, I know I'm supposed to post a list with my posts but I will be posting my dailies?

You can join me in my blitz then - when are you doing yours?

Toots - still no sign of the seed tin . I guess it got binned by accident in one of the more ruthless flings. I will have a play on www.alanromans.com later this week, at 50p a packet it isn't the end of the world given that I don't grow that many varieties anyway. I just wanted to check what I still had that was in date before I placed my order.

Stupid insomnia is really playing up as is my equally stupid old lady arthritic hip. I thought losing three stone would help my hip but it hasn't . Roll on Spring :cool:.

You'd better ask for a lovely new seed tin for mothers' day - one that you won't ever throw away.

Insomnia - I'll drop you a PM about what worked for me, as at least trying should help keep you entertained (n.b. counting sheep when it's snowing doesn't work ). They might help with the arthritic hip too.

I feel MUCH better now I've had a shower, and got properly dressed. I was still in my stinky gym kit as I hadn't had a chance to change.

I've put a few more things away and now need to go and get my duster and a jug of water in preparation for my next teleconference...

Have a good evening everyone

Lo-Lo

Hi all,
Just back from work - a two hour each way coach journey to Luton to observe an exhibition we're getting over summer. So am now knackered. Haven't managed to do any exercise yet this week, maybe tomorrow - although it's free cinema so by the time I get back I doubt it, looks like that'll have to keep til the weekend. So, I have all the stuff in to do a roast so need to get on with that. The front room isn't too bad luckily so hopefully today's list won't take too long then after that I think it will be yet another veg out, entering competitions and general internetting. I have discovered the Save the Planet app on Facebook where the points you earn you donate to various charities and they actually make a real difference so this has got me a little addicted, particularly having seen world poverty and the rainforest firsthand last year.

Anyway, good luck everyone! *yawn*

Good evening, just checking in! Done well today, it was really easy as I did so much last week! Yes, it does get easier! So thank you very much for the lists!


After soaking the oven trays in the bath I gave the bathroom a good clean too so I might even have my star for that day when it turns up! Only problem I still have is keeping up with the laundry. Something else I need to learn yet! I am sure it will get itself sorted once I got all the decluttering and difficult cleaning jobs done!


Well unfortunately Ex is coming back down here tonight, was hoping he could stay up North but he couldn't. Saying that he hasn't contacted me yet and I hope he won't. I don't know if I have said but he lost his flat in November because he used his Housing Benefit for Alcohol and other carp instead of his rent so has been sleeping rough and on friends floors. So hope he doesn't contact me because I want nothing to do with him and after the episode of letting DD2 down I don't think he should have contact unless its in a contact centre. If he doesn't show up there it will be noted!





Hope everyone is doing well and hugs to all that need it!
