    Debt-free and Proud!
    Good morning all,

    Hope everyone is well? Welcome to all newbies. I'm in again this week, thanks very much to Flylady Central Command

    All children back to school today so need to gut the house as the holidays have taken their toll. It's a big job though :o so the list for today goes like this;

    Monday
    Paid work - most important need pennies.
    Tidy round all rooms and return all stray possessions back to their homes.
    8 loads of washing, drying, sorting and putting away.
    Meal plan and shopping
    Nip to bank
    Return purse

    Think that will do for now:D, will tackle Pigpen's lists as the week goes on.

    See you later.

    Morning all

    It's oh so quiet being in an empty house. Kids all off ok and new charge taken with no problems.

    I've done a fair bit already. Applied for the free plug thing in Martins mail.

    I have borrowed a friends energy meter, it is amazing watching it go up and down and things go on and off. Will be looking at comparison sites later in the week.

    Right back to it for me.

    Well there is a huge unsubtle pile of things on Moon's side of the sofa waiting for him to sort them out when he gets home - they are mainly boxes of new shoes he's bought - I swear he has more pairs than me now! :eek: Fingers crossed he won't put them all back behind the sofa where he'd left them before.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
