museumworker's quest to consign mortgage to history!

Courgette

Am knackered just reading that list! :rotfl: :rotfl:

earthgirl

That is a BIIIIGGG long list, good luck!

museumworker

Yes, I am feeling pretty tired at the mo!

Have sorted out pressie for OH's friend's 40th we are going to next week. Found handmade necklace on etsy with a design v much like a plate they liked (but for half the price ). I think it is lovely, hope they do too. So glad that is sorted.

Definitely tried to do too much this weekend, ended up being very stressed, tired and hormonal yesterday and had hideous shouting row with OH :(:(. We very rarely argue, and it was very bitter. We have kissed and made up now, but feeling pretty exhausted as a result.

We have listed 2 things on ebay, for a total of £149. I doubt they will sell at that price, but at least we broke the listing barrier, and we can relist with a lower price if they go unsold.

Have charity comedy event tonight, tickets paid for out of pocket money a few weeks ago. Is a belated birthday treat for friend too. Not much on for rest of week, THANK HEAVENS!

£48.76 OP made today from Ama$on disembersment clearing account. And £10 received from !psos.

Comedy fundraiser was fantastic, really funny - although Dara O'wotsit said who won the apprentice which I was a bit peeved about as I had spent the whole day avoiding the papers :rotfl:!

I am so tired today though it is unreal.

Just made August's standard OP of £207.01 today, as somehow in my befuddled state I justified making it now from the £2.5K we have sitting in the account linked to the mortgage, rather than when OH actually gets paid! The good news it that it takes our OPs to over £8k since March :j:j:j! Am so looking forward to my August statement, it is unreal...

£3.51 OP from Ama$on sales

Bad migraine this morning, had to come back from work. For once my triptan seems to be helping with the attack, although I am incredibly dizzy with it and a bit out of it.

earthgirl

Hope you are feeling better now? Please slow down, you are making me dizzy with all your rushing about!

museumworker

:eek: wow earthgirl - if you think I am rushing around, it must be true :eek: :rotfl:!

Thanks for asking, I feel much better today, if a little wrung out.

It has been one heck of a few weeks I must admit, although now it is it the summer there will be a fair amount of rushing around still. We have friend's 40th in wales this weekend, which should be a very good get together, about 8 people plus kids. We are dropping DD off at my mums on way back so she will have a week with nanna. My mum has planned lots of nice stuff with her, plus DD loves her dog, so I'm sure they'll have a great time. Meanwhile I will be back at work , with another trip to wales at the end of the week to pick up dd and celebrate friend's bday. Combining childcare with a full time job and only 5 weeks off a year is quite difficult - luckily as a teacher you won't experience that .

Have £13.50 worth of clothes to try on from charity shop dash on way home. WIll report back later.
OH out on work do, think I'll just have cereal for dinner as CBA to cook
Sold a £20 book on Ama$on which are very pleased with

DD's last day at school. Will give TAs (x2) small toiletries gift from boots that bought in Jan for £1.50 each, and teacher a bottle of wine from my waitrose hoard. Decided to give group gift to everyone else. Bought lovely Emma Bridgewater tin in Waitrose other day reduced from £13 to £4. AM going to fill it with hm biscuits and put an ethical gift note in there (see below) to say thank you to all staff in all the clubs DD goes to. Do you teachers out there think that is ok?

p.s. forgot to say, yesterday I read Hovel lady's diary on the DFW board, and it was a great read! Would completely recommend it. I am now aspiring to a hovel :rotfl:!

Hi MW, brilliant news on the overpayments you are putting me to shame. I hope that you have a good, calm week ahead. Love the idea of your daughter's banner, I was always very annoyed by playground football.

Have a great week-end.
