I had a right job finding this right now and almost started a new thread :eek:..
anyhow mini update (bearing mind the onion juice saga of Monday has half wrecked this week)
Bin to buy milk and coffee fae FF. Alas I didn't take enough ventolin before I left so now am wheezing like a trouper . so much for me reducing that stuff....I can see steroids coming my way (as threatened by nurse on Tuesday)...
So just sitting here waiting for puffer to work before housework - but I really want to sleep zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
DV I'll get the lounge and hall blitzed today and possibly the bed made (desperately needs doing...all sheets off)..
This am I researched some more click sites and like got a good sleep....Also it's the tom and I just refuse to buy any more disposable sanitary wear so that's like daily..
Yesterday despite being tired I managed to clean the kitchen floor and pay part of tithe (online) - tithe really is DFW cos I didn't pay it last month and like ran out of money :eek:...
Also back on the bike (so long as I take my inhaler before hand)...
Blessings

Afternoon All :wave:
Glad you're having such lovely weather, after the winter the UK deserve itIt's quite warm here (20 degrees) but it gets SOOO cold in the evenings. Popeye and I have just done the shopping and agreed that when we returned on Thursday we were really sorry to leave England and were worried we'd be homesick this time. 3 days later and we're back in the swing of things and enjoying the African society.
I bought a furry throw for the bed yesterday and we've concluded that we can turn down the temperature in the bedroom now (the ONLY room with heating :rotfl:) And the landlord appears to have sorted the chimney so we'll try an open fire tonight
So today I have/will
shopped to a menu plan which includes soups, roasted veg and the like
spent our birthday money from the in-laws on a cross trainer so we don't need to join a gym :j I'm very excited.
sorted out the money big time. It's belts tightened for 2 months and then we should be OK.
We need to discuss SORN'ing one of the cars in the UK and cashing in the insurance. I know Popeye doesn't want to do it, but I think it's sensible.......
I still must catch up on my thank-yous -I keep procrastinating, this list helps kick me.
Line dried a load of washing (I've left it for the maid to iron though)
Popeye is mending the filter in the pool so we save on getting a man in - can I recommend marrying an engineer? It is so very :money:
I will do a couple of surveys in my inbox too.
Congrats on the wedding Urg, and welcome back to this thread.
Enjoy the concert Mogchops, a great win.
Have a great day :A0 -
Today I have:

Went jogging - week 2 is DONE!
Did shred - day 7, halfway through the first part!

Re-arranged mp3 player (right now, an iPod touch is top of the "wants" list....if it's still there in October I'll be getting one)
Moving music onto phone just in case....bloody nuisances lol** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
**SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***

Morning all...yesterday was good apart from a run in with the out of hrs doc (not pleasant) after Mr M...Had a nap after last post
and like got some work done.....lounge just about hoovered (and hall) and like bed made and throw on this sofa shaken and reversed (so at least I don't look like I'm sitting on a pile of coffee stains)...MUST shove it in the machine before work in the am then dry it in the dryers when I come home:)...
Spent less than £5 yesterday (only on what I needed till tues....the only treat being a 45p cake from Mr M - which really wasn't worth it...not enough gluten in it
) which will have to come out of savings but that's life (or was it just over £5?)..
Kirk today and last of tithe to get paid (so I don't go short this month :T)
No clicking today cos it's sabbath...
