    To be frugal, you need to spend money wisely, simply spending less is not enough.
    If you can't handle me at my worst then you don't deserve me at my best...

    Morning all
    Hope everyone is feeling OK - sending loads of hugs for anyone who needs one.

    Had an extra busy day yesterday, DD came home with a letter on Tuesday which mentioned it was a non-uniform day today. Only thing is that following a year 6 project, the whole school are supposed to be dressing in the colours of the Ethopian flag - red, yellow and green....DD only possesses clothes that are pink, or that are school uniform.

    I spent the majority of yesterday sewing a red skirt for her to wear today. I mentioned that perhaps appropriately coloured ribbons in her hair might be the way forward, but no, that wasn't good enough...she's only 5!

    Still, it's done, and as I was on a roll I managed to complete the list too...

    [FONT=&quot]Wednesday ~ Kitchen and Dining room[/FONT][FONT=&quot] DONE!! Can I have a star please, Toots? Thx.

    [/FONT]And, because I had nothing better to do (:p) I cleaned the bathroom, so today's list looks like this (if it's not there, I've done it!):

    Thursday ~ Study or other reception room & bathrooms
    Level One
    Level Two
    Vacuum the floors
    [STRIKE]Wipe down the tiles[/STRIKE] and defragment the pc while doing this.
    Level Three

    Extras
    [FONT=&quot]Clear a hotspot [/FONT]

    So, I've been a busy bunny! I'm out today, visiting mum...she had her second pre-op yesterday and has apparently got to have some investigation on her heart before they clear her for surgery. She thought she'd get away with an epidural and keyhole surgery...but they will need to wash out the abdominal cavity as part of the procedure so they are giving her a general anaesthetic and not keyhole. This is something we're all quite worried about because of her many health issues (diabetes, high blood pressure, she's very overweight, and as she had brain haemorrhage a few years ago there is some concern about the blood vessels in her brain).

    She's in good hands, though, so I'm hoping all will go to plan.

    Right, it's that time again...off to sergeant major DD....

    Take care and have a good day.

    I don't know but you know what it means for me :p

    Will either be a great day or a really really carp day. Work had a mini inspection type thingy and if we don't get the result LBB needs then everyone's life will be hell :( :mad: so some good result vibes would really be appreciated please.
