Weekly Flylady Thread 22nd February 2010

pigpen

Oh yes tomorrow list will need a thread of its own!!! lol

Pooh.. that's nothing I have just spent the best part of £1000 on the washer and 3 bills.. they should have been paid last week.. hey ho. I should have repaid it back to the uni money but stuff them they can wait I needed to pay the bills first. 2 of the bills will be paid off inthe next month though.. unfortunately they are my christmas spending so not included in the siggy strip lol.. that has barely changed in months!

It appears KH hasn't paid any money to the bank loan or to me AGAIN this month.. I've not had any money for the children since September!! So he can buy DS2's £140 jacket for school.. I decided..
apparently the council tax benefit will be sorted in the next week or so.. but still heard nothing re the mortgage benefit.. and I don't really know who to ring.. I'll chase that tomorrow between the girls physio and DS3's eye clinic..

pigpen I don't know how you manage to stay so positive. Will you be able to get the council tax benefit backdated? Maybe see CAB about mortgage help?

What can you do about KH?

You are probably like me with not much left to sell on ebay:)

For DD's b'day yesterday I gave her my mum's ring.
I took it to a gold buyer last week to see if I could get anything for it and it was worth so little I couldn't get the money I needed for a pressie. I then had a brainwave. A rare thing for me at the moment, and gave it to DD.

Pooh I hope DD was pleased with the ring and had a lovely birthday.

Back to the flying for me before I take root.

To do's

[STRIKE] Meal Plan for March (try to cut down on shopping bill after overspend in Feb )[/STRIKE]
Make a shopping list for March
Shredding - did a HUGE pile but still more to go!
Filing


I'm washed the windows on the landing and our room, bleached the minging black furry bits and given it all a good polish afterwards!

Bathroom sparkly, even soaked the bottom of the shower curtain in a bleach solution and bleched all the tiles from top to bottom.

Started my meal plan, will finish it off when they guys get home later as some input would be good. Fed up of 'I don't mind!' when it comes to tea!


Made a start on the shredding, might do some filing when the guys are playing computer later.

Off to put my clothes away now, I could claim a star for Wednesday but OH's crap is everywhere in our room so although it's clean it's not particularly tidy IYSWIM.

Plan to sort that out when he has some time off.

Oh and I'm looking at a bigger car. I have a 3dr Peugeot 206 (2008) but I could get a 5dr 308 (2008) for £4 more a month and the same insurance!
Only problem is I just taxed my car for 12 months

Lady - big hugs hun!

tootifruities

sympathise with this, xH has decided that since he has spawned another, he doesn't have to support the first.

Hugs, LL.

No flying, but am off to declutter my car to the land rover dealer, who have decided that since I made a gigantic fuss, they do actually have a discourtesy car for me...
