    • Complete Level 1 of today's Fly Lady tasks (on the Old Style board) or 15mins of ironing
    Having cleaned up the leak and resulting puddles, hoovered all through and cleaned out the parrot, I think I'll count this as done.
    • Make your OH/kids feel special (even more so than usual)
    DD1 hasn't yet surfaced from her pit, DD2 is full of hormonal moodiness and has gone back to bed and DH is in a ratty mood, so pfft! They can make me feel special instead.
    • Put that extra 1p in the savings/debt payment pot
    Transfered £10 into the ISA
    • Jog on the spot for 5mins (or dance to fave song)
    Hmmm....probably not.
    • Be good to yourself and have 15mins 'me time' every 3 hours
    This I can do.


    Have sorted the leak - just got to wait for everything to dry out now and see what lasting damage there is.

    I've transferred £13.77 to my overdraft. Have done a few 'me' things, like a quick FB chat with a friend, but work keeps interrupting!

    I also tried that and got about 40 miles extra, this site is useful for finding the cheapest fuel, Shell is cheapest around here so another bonus!

    Thanks David, I'll go see if I can find an even cheaper place to fill up!

    House work will wait another day, if I do nothing then at least I won't create mess though!

    Think it's mostly me time today, trying to rest and get better. Watching disney movies with my daughter counts as something I'm sure!

    Is the Shell petrol dearer to buy in the first place?

    Not for us, from the station we fill up at it's 3p (i think, hubby in charge of all things motoring!) a litre less than our local ones.

    we started using this place as it was coming in cheapest :cool:

    D'oh! Probably my foggy head not understanding more like!

    No, it's the same price as regular and is being advertised as that too.

    think it's time for a sleep!
