Pay off mortgage and start having fun!

I've never met anyone who works in your business newgirly, do you tend to get most of your work from the usual suspects, or is it quite varied? Having worked as a librarian, I remember deconstructing legal texts that were no longer current with the aid of a pneumatic guillotine thingy so that we could recycle them. The quality with which they were assembled made me feel quite guilty!

Well done on the Christmas shopping, I really should start sometime soon.

Hi ed, it is an usual trade! We get lots of work from the house of commons / lords , museums , libraries , royal family etc. it's some times interesting. I do sometimes dismantle legal booklets by hand then sew back together to be bound so a little similar

It's been a manic day, ds2 woke up with a very red spotty rash everywhere, so another day late for work while I took him to the doctors, all fine just a virus so I sent him in, wicked mum! On the plus side it was the yearly cross country first thing so he missed it.

Then lots of painting at the firm as the new mezzanine floor has been put in, then home for dinners, washing, batch cooking spag Bol, and ironing all dh's clothes for the cruise. I can't do anything else - too tired so am having an early night

That's quite a list Newgirly, what a week! I can't think more than a day ahead at the moment.

newgirly

I know cath, don't fancy giving me a hand do you

newgirly

Eek nothing else has been crossed of the list :eek:

I have a very messy house and lots of ironing piles to do, plus I need to book to have my hair cut, in the last four years I have had it cut once at a hairdressers. Its quite long (down to bra strap at the back) and very dark, but in good condition. I really don't know whether to go for a long bob or not, it's scary :rotfl:

Better get up and start on the washing/ironing/packing or we won't be going anywhere!

Once you get on the ship, all the hard work will be worth it - hold that thought!

Thanks goldiegirl girl, just the whole house to clean now I had my haircut and went for a long bob in the end, I'm quite pleased with it and it was only £28.

Off to start the cleaning

newgirly

Back from the cruise, we had a lovely time it's so relaxing not having to do a thing

Not much to report, dh paid the spending money from some of the money he was given earlier in the year. The xmas shopping is now in full swing , only a handful of people to buy for. We have quite a busy month in December so I need to try and get a bit of money put away for it by squeezing the budget.

I'm back on a diet as of yesterday, after serious eating and drinking while we were away target to lose is 35lb and I would like to lose as much as possible before xmas, time to get back to the gym I think!
