A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Hmm, wishful thinking ! Very skint as expected

At the moment I'm trying to decide at what rate to clear the 0% cc , it has about £3150 ish on it 0% until next jan, the mortgage has 10 yrs left to run in june. I might as well get rid of it but the mortgage rate and balance transfer fee are around the same so it does'nt really matter. The feeling of no debt (mortgage aside) would be very nice though.
Today I am doing a couple of hours for dh, taking the dogs for a long walk with my best friend, going for lunch with the girls, and ds2 has a friend for tea. So a nice day, with housework avoided as much as possible.:DMFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁0 -

I get that often too, unfortunately:rotfl:

Keep it up! housework never ends so it should be avoided at all costs, waste of time really, as you can never claim it's actually 'done and dusted':rotfl:Nobody ever seen me washing the floors in the morning .... before my LO started crawling and I was scared he will choke on dust bunnies:D
My lifelong ambition is to have an extra £50 at the end of the week to pay for a cleaner

Where do you live and how big is your house:eek:

I know what you mean, I can clean someone else's whole house in a few hours but can't finish a couple of rooms in a whole day at home.
I've had the twins off today due to the strike, dd not too impressed at having to go in! So took them and my mum to see the hunger games at the cinema, it was quite good but a long one, the tickets were cheap though £15 for 4 of us plus mc d's for the boys.
Off to bed early as ds2 has been feeling sick all evening so may end up having along night ahead.:(MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁0 -
I have my friends 40th party tonight in the pub, she is going to get hair and nails done this after noon then we are meetingfor bubbly round one of the girls houses then on to meet another friend at the pub where hopefully everyone else will have already arrived, should be around 60ish :eek: I managed to get some sparkly banners/flags/table glitter and we got hold of some childhood photos which dh blew up to poster size for me to decorate the room we have, fingers crossed it goes well.
I changed all the beds yesterday and the cat decided to be sick all over ds1's bed during the night, so he spent the night in bed with us which was a nightmare, he is way too big now
plus I have caught the cold that ds2 had earlier this week , so not a good start to the day.
Its time to do an end of month round up so if dh takes the kids out for a day I might have time to do it later, not much if anything paid off this time though.:oMFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁0 -
