    Afternoon All

    Guests away :)

    Managed to get Bakery sorted without too much hassle, still looking at understairs cupboard with great regularity LOL

    Today, after they left, I spent afternoon sorting and filing paperwork in preparation for 2011. Filled two black bags with shredded paper (what rubbish we keep)

    So have 5 days left of hols, will do budgets for 2011, accounts for Dec and I swear I will finally finish 2010 accounts for accountant, think I am 70% there but at least now I have all paperwork filed so little to look for.

    DH can't find receipts for perfume or books he bought me for Xmas, ggggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I want to return them.

    I am getting my hair cut and coloured on Thurs after fat club (think I will stay the same or have put on a pound, so all well there) as a treat..........its expensive but haven't had it done since April so I think thats ok.

    Really need to set goals for 2011 too

    Can you hypnotise DH into remembering where he left them? Or threaten some part of his anatomy, usually works with mine. Good luck to the sorting, our office looks like a bombs gone off. As fast as we tidy it, it ends up as bad again.

    Ours too was a nightmare and made doing accounts a awful job but I really cleared out so much last week and then sorted the paper today. But I will have to keep a very careful eye on it because it's were DH spends his 'quiet time' ie. killing 10s of 1000's on xbox!

    Still thinking about challenges for 2011 and I am thinking that monthly goals might be better for me than for a whole year
