We have a cat like that. Don't mind if I'm working but it's less fun if I can sleep in!
Sounds like your house will be spotless by the end of January. Want to come and sort mine?0 -
Thanks for all the posts
Can't beat a bit of decluttering, 26 items gone today! Am hoping for an easy to clean and streamlined home by the end of the month.
Ds has had a party today but apart from playing taxi we've stated at home. Dh had a very productive morning and made a casserole and yet more cake! I spent £1.78 on cream and mushrooms so need to find my previous subtotal and add it on (not as easy to see on my phone).
I have also tried to start planning things for our trip to Rome next month. I was hoping my two guide books from 3bay would have arrived (£5 ish spent on them) but they didn't. However, I've devoted some space in my bullet journal to Rome. Taxi to thr airport is booked but the main plan of deciding what we want to see and looking at transport will have to wait.
Dh has asked me if I want wine and was going to go out, I said no, changed my mind to yes and now he doesn't want it! If we don't cave in I will overpay that money off the mortgage!June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!0 -

Really looking forward to it Alex. We are only there for two days so really need to maximise our time there.
