fighting my way out of the misery, moody,mayhem muddle.

Amazing when you start to get focused as to how to rectify the mess - things start to fall into place. It must be to do with starting with tiny steps and breaking it down to do-able, cope able chunks.

Financial:
Friday, my boss finally paid me for my weeks holiday:jit's only taken since Easter.:mad:
So big progress made:
Store cupboard replenished (saves money in the long run)
Phone bill paid.
1st money into bank for CT next week.

Job:
Had an informal interview for a 2nd job doing some support work for a charming elderly man - quite hopeful something may work out there.

Health and Wellbeing:
All the girlie bits sorted out yesterday (2nd attempt), so that's done and dusted for another 5 years:j
House:
I will get to choose my new kitchen but no further news on that front.
Knowing that the entire downstairs will be ripped out when it's done am working on getting upstairs sorted out first.
This weeks task was to tackle our room - how many plastic coat hangers do we need?:eek:
Have listed the few bits that need replacing and over a few months thats quite do-able. (Sheets, bin and rugs)
Done this morning the few maintenance bits that have wanted doing for months:j
Also found PS2 hidden in cupboard so can et that on Ebay.
Creative:
The collage for BIL's birthday is coming on well and seems is going to work.
Garden:
All veggie seedlings ready to go in.
160 baby buzy lizzies ready to pot up:eek:
Compost and grow bags waiting to be used.
Must tackle my front jungle 1st though - I hate my front garden with a vengence but only have to do it a couple of times a year.

Off to do more house work upstairs before lunch.
Glad to see Bluejeans back and welcome to new visitors to my mumblings.

Another week has just flown by! Today is my day off and I am now exhausted.

Financial:
A bit better this week as I earnt extra last week and then babysat on Saturday so got another extra £30. Most of the babysitting money has gone on bits for OH's birthday(today), but at least I didn't have to scrimp around to find that.
House:
This weeks job was to completely de-clutter and clean our spare room in preparation for the futon arriving next week. They tried to deliver it yesterday:eek:and room was still full of junk, (for once I was glad I was at work)rearranged delivery for today and it's now in:jand very proud of myself I put it all together:j
Found more coathangers, spare phone, car stereo and another PS2! Got rid of coat hangers, given neighbour the stereo and will have 2 PS2's to put on Ebay.
Just got to finish orgainizing the room now and we've gained an extra room as a study/hideaway/guest room.
Garden:
My veggie plot planted with runner and dwarf beans, kale,carrotts, beetroot,parsnips, lettuce and spring onions. Starwberries doing well and will be picking the 1st soon.
Grow bags to do this weekend and also my 2nd plot over at B.I.L's.
Health and Wellbeing:
Got the all clear from the girlie bits so that's done and dusted for 5 years.
Got de-fuzzed and did my toe nails!
Creative:
Am planning a nautical party for B.I.L's birthday and that's now virtually all sorted, just got anchors to paint onto jam jars. Party is 11th June.
Collage - all background done now on the arty bits and that's looking good. Just have to keep sewing - at least its keeping me of FB.
job:
Have been offered 2nd job but it's dependant upon elderly man agreeing/accepting he needs help and family can't be there all the time. I am happy to wait at the moment with everthing I have going on.

Quick cuppa then half an hour in the garden.

:rotfl:Buzy! Buzy! Buzy!

We h ave gone from doing nothing, going nowhere and quietly plodding along to non-stop guests, events and work.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Financial:
Not too bad. Need to get a firm grip on that, work out my budget and do tax credits renewal. Seem to be earning bits of extra at moment which helps.

House:
Spare room almost sorted out, just a couple of bits to Ebay.
Most house plans will have to go on hold now for a couple of weeks due to our increased popularity.:rotfl:

Garden:
Got 2nd veg patch weeded and B.I.L. dug it over again , I need to get it planted but it's rock hard as we've as we haven't had any substanial rain since Feb.:eek:
Health and Well Being;
Everything under control at moment except smoking which has crept back up:eek:will get back onto that after friends visit this weekend.

Creative:
B.I.L's party all planned and arranged. Birthday collage almost finished, should be done by the weekend. Phew! It's the birthday on Tuesday.

Right off to finish jobs before guests arrive - next week will be back with a vengance.

B.I.L's party on Saturday and I have so many lists it's not true.

My house almost sorted for the week - everything gets put away immediately at the moment (wish it would last afterwards):rotfl:My house is the centre of operations!

B.I.L's house is now immaculate (no chance of that continuing) as is his garden.


Keep chipping away at the lists, tick 4 things off and add 5 more - the good news is time wise they are all little things.

Everything in my lofe has now been put on hold until next week:eek: then it's onward and upwards.
