    Morning all

    I shall aim to do 10 things involving 10....
    1. Pay £10 into the ISA
    2. Pay £10 into CC1
    3. Pay £10 into CC2
    4. Pay £10 into CC3
    5. Pay £10 into the "christmas" savings
    6. Pay £10 into the "DH turns 40 in 3 months" fund
    7. Spend 10 minutes listing what's in the cupboards
    8. Spend 10 mintues making a shopping list for the rest of the week
    9. Spend 10 minutes writing a new list of who/what I've got/need for Christmas.
    10. Spend 10 minutes decluttering a cupboard in order to bulk buy some flour and pasta (flour prices set to rocket over the next few weeks due to exports from Russia stopping)
    But I'm not doing any of that until I've had another cup of tea. :D


    Overachiever!:p

    Are you feeling better today? Can you move your head without the world following?

    28.1.19/28.1.19 Hubs 0% £400/£2,977 =13.44%

    Good morning

    I may try 10 mins of exercise today :) as i've woken up the first time in months not in pain :) the memory foam topper and pillow must be working :) took a bit of getting used to though. just a thought too the weight loss may have helped????

    I've cleaned the kitchen and put dishwasher on :) am now sat eating a boiled egg and a peice of brown granary bread (didn't think i would like the bread but it was ok ) once i've finished and drunk my coffee need to wash pots and pansd that are in the sink and sweep the floor.

    and i just dropped boiled egg all down the front of a pair of clean pj's lol no wonder i've got loads of washing :)

    The first 6 were done with just a few clicks so cheating really :D

    And yes thanks, feeling much better today, still a bit dizzy but it's not making me reach for the nearest wall to steady myself. The antibiotics have finally kicked in and I can see an end in sight. :T

    Lashing down with rain here too but still warm and sticky.

    Morning all.

    I am going to spend 10 minutes NOT shouting at my kids today. I just seem to spend my whole time shouting and giving off to them. Not sure if I am going to survive the next 2 weeks at home.

    Sally it just never stops. I am off for 2 weeks, the childminder is on her hols and it is true you really have to be a particular type of person to deal with children all day, everyday. God I sound like the worst mother.

    Anyway have to go and get them sorted for swimming lessons, then have dentist in the afternoon but I am going to spend 10 minutes later reading my book, it is my hols too!

    Has mazarooney been in contact about possible visit and stopover at yours? Then she's hoping to head down here...maybe you could come too, and anyone else that wants to to
