I love it! I am especially interested in number 8!!

Oooh and gymnastics at the Olympics - fancy that too.

:T

Bad news on the sunglasses front for me - don't seem to sell very well (if at all) on ebay. Probs only get about a tenner for them.:(

Oh and welcome PerfectPeaches :beer: Stick with us maddies! We're a friendly bunch!

I appreciate the encouragement as it is such a sweet frock and in my favourite colour, I will be sad to hand it over (but less sad to be better off ).

Exactly! If you can't imagine wearing it soon you'll definitely get more use out of the extra cash! :money:

Hi everyone.

I wrote a massive post earlier and lost the lot so here is the edited version

I have written a list of 50 housework jobs for the weekend so will be very busy. I'll let you know how I get on.
DFW wise it's the usual running appliances overnight on Economy 7, sorting out chickens, watching out for surveys and having at least one NSD.

DNMS - I love the 101 things list so far. I wish I'd thought of a few of those, especially (41) "save £2 for every task I complete" It adds up to £202 for a special treat at the end. I can't wait for September 2012 so I can write my next list!! :rotfl:

Josie won't be on this weekend unless her new laptop cable arrives or she uses another computer so I shall make apologies for her absence.

well done on returning the dress Katsu :T Although you love it, you wore the other one to the wedding, so obviously love that one even more


Today so far:

Froze french beans

Made lovely fresh tomato sauce

Cleaned kitchen floor

Checked online banking

Seen to dogs and chooks

Picked tomatoes

To do:

Small grocery shop

Investigate new stainless steel saucepans while out - the plastic handles on mine are breaking down. The lid knobs get really hot :eek: and the actual handles feel wobbly :eek: I am worried that I will be walking across the kitchen one day with a full hot saucepan and the handle break :eek::eek: It seems such a shame as the actual stainless steel part is still perfect, but as they are I think they are too dangerous to take the the CS, so will have to go to recycling A bit sad, as I have had them for many years and used them every day.

Do washing and dry on line

Hoover where necessary (or I should probably say 'Dyson' :rotfl:)

Cultivate patch of ground in garden and plant out lettuce plants that I have grown.

Water tomatoes and other things in pots

Make a huge chilli for supper tonight using 1lb of mince and loads of veg from garden - I have onions, carrots, courgettes, green peppers, tomatoes, chillis - oops must buy some garlic though!

Make a cake or scones or something for OH and brother who is visiting

Clean worktops and kitchen table

Chop up and freeze rest of green peppers

Pick more green beans (no doubt)

Walk doglets later

Whew, that is quite a list for a lazybones like me, but feel quite energetic today even though I have had a nightmare week at work

Will pop back later to update

Hope everyone has a good day :j

We have finally booked a hotel for our wedding party when we get back from Cyprus! A very DFW choice too!

Great stuff Littlekel! :T:T

I got 100 save the date cards for free (£4 postage) on vista print website. You leave it in your basket for a few days and they keep sending you better discounts until about a week later they offer you them for free.

Will be great fun making them too though

Morning ladies!
What are we all doing up so early on a Saturday?!
My dog is my excuse - bouncing on my head at 7am telling me he wants a poo! Oh well, at least he tells me!

• If the rain holds off, take the dog for a good walk out somewhere with OH - found a book of walks yesterday and think we can attempt a "Level 1" walk - the easiest!

:rotfl:your dog Rachel!

Going to add the book about walks to my list - thanks for the idea .
