    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    Happy Birthday Dorastar :bdaycake:
    Happy belated Birthday to JJEF :bdaycake:

    It rained all night and melted all the snow :j but it's snowing again now :mad: I so can't wait for spring *sigh* had to put the bin out today as it's binday but the back door key has mysteriously diisappeared (funny how it goes missing when teenies lost his front door one *rolls eyes*) he says he hasn't seen it *rolls eyes again* so had to walk round the back to put it out, the ones I have stashed in the porch are now going round to OH's bin as they were too heavy to carry.

    DW on, WM on, kitchen just about to be S&S'd, LR tidied.

    listy for today:-
    prep veg for tea
    strip my bed
    WM x 2 (1 in)
    TD
    DW
    tidy LR
    pack up
    S&S kitchen
    tidy littleys room
    get ready for work
    hoover through

    Hope the car starts today :rotfl:I contemplated just getting rid and buying a bus/metro pass but with the amount of jobs I have it just isn't practical *sigh* will look into buying a car, will have to be finance methinks, I'll just have to get some more customers to pay for it.

    Right, strip the bed.

    ETA Is it jinks and mumof5's birthdays too, Happy Birthday you two xx

    Happy Birthday Dorastar , Jinky and mumof5 , Have a great day:bdaycake:

    I have to have a 'bits and bobs' day today, so I'm not going to get much flying done. I thought I would at least go over the bathroom, as it will certainly come up at some point, and I can rattle round it faster than the Living Room (which will have to wait till tomorrow!)

    My extras:
    * Walk round to old school and hand in
    2nd hand uniform for sale
    * Go to big bad city: take back jacket and buy pillow and blank CDs

    * Finish research document draft and e-mail it to colleague for discussing on Thursday (about 2 hours work)
    * Write to DD's orchestra about Saturday

    * Make a CD disc of orchestral pieces for playing in the car so DD gets to know them ahead of course at Easter
    (downloaded pieces last night with her)
    * Update savings schedule
    * Finish utilities usage figures: oil, electricity

    * Do calculations re Economy 7 (18% b/even; 15% lose out; 25% gain?)
    * Start to update 2010 budget schedule; and plug in Jan's figures

    * Food plan for the (rest of the!) week
    * Cook meal (cumberland pie)

    * Write difficult e-mail to sister :o

    What's the betting 'write difficult e-mail to sister' will be left at the end of the day?

    :(:(:(

    All for now. Must crack on and catch the bus to town.

    MissH

    Have done the school run and because I was back before the recycling went, I went through DD's last 2 drawers and got rid of a recycling bag of paper.
    Just had breakfast so going to get on with the list......

    Hugs for all poorlies and Dustykitten and Sarah xx
