    Ooooh 4 - Tricky. Still I am supposed to be emptying the cupboards not filling them.

    I have a house to clean ready for a person coming round to view the house. Better check when they want to come.

    Coming up your way this weekend Luc. My OH is going to 'look after' my stereo for the next year. We may even go and visit his parents if he can cope!

    1. Put 10p in the savings/debt pot

    Just about to clear out my ISA to pay for DH's birthday pressie :eek: but will sort all the small change in my purse out and put in the savings jar.

    2. Jog on the spot for 5 minutes (and put some effort into it we want you slightly out of puff!) followed by 10 situps

    No jogging but have run up and down 3 flights of stairs a couple of times already so I'm sure that counts.

    3. Dust all of your picture frames

    Did the dusting yesterday but do need to clean the mirrors today so shall do that instead.

    4. Make dinner without buying anything in

    Sausage and mash with cauli-cheese planned and everything's in the house :T

    5. Make someone's day

    Shall I moonie at the postman? ;)

    Morning all

    Peeing it down here and very dark but quite muggy. Need to wait in for a parcel so it's no great shame. DD's might be a bit soggy before they reach school though.

    Housework's all done (aside from the mirrors), WM is doing its stuff.

    Going to list DD2s DSlite on ebay later as she wants the money to buy herself a new phone but need to see if there's anything else I can list too to make it worthwhile.

    Oh no, she's back :D :T

    Last day at work for me this week, little bit calmer than yesterday (I hope). Was a beautiful sunny morning but has suddenly turned all misty outside.

    1. Put 10p in the savings/debt pot - OK
    2. Jog on the spot for 5 minutes (and put some effort into it we want you slightly out of puff!) followed by 10 situps - will fit that into gym today
    3. Dust all of your picture frames - not got any!
    4. Make dinner without buying anything in - yep, all organised today
    5. Make someone's day - hmmmm...

    good morning all

    sunny here load of towels in w machine :)

    am having trouble typing this morning, as my nails have grown :) (still got the acrylic nails on i had done for the wedding )

    I started reading memory girls make to and mend yesterday :) i was inspired too :) thought i'd start sorting and sprucing up the house today (will take some time though lol) dh must have been on the same wavelength as me cause he has rung up and asked me to get some painting stuff so he can sort out the kitchen ( still horrible after the leaky roof) we have white paint here and some paint left from the first time around, so i'm hoping it can be done without buying anything ;). (apart from paint brushes)

    need to clean the mould off the cream roll up blinds too any ideas?

    The bathroom still needs finishing too, but we need to buy stuff for that so if we can concentrate on without having to buy anything in.

    ok the challenge
    1. will put in when i get change later
    2. dunno whether my back will last 5 mins but will have a go.
    3. yes they need a good dust as does everything else.
    4. tea can be done without buying anything, freezer fridge and cupboards are full.
    5. will have to think about that one :)

    towels on the line, last load of washing in the machine.

    Today i think i'm going to concentrate of decluttering the kitchen washing all the appliances ready for painting :) if i do it in 15 minute bursts then it shouldn't irritate my back too much.

    the only thing i won't be able to do is move the paint and tools from on top of the fridge freezer as they are too heavy. (they need to go in the shed)

    just having a coffee then i'll start.

    Pooky,
    I always think your tea sounds SO much nicer than mine. How do you fancy all moving to Newcastle so I can pop round for tea? :rotfl:

    I am going to clean down the side of the cooker today :eek: - wish me luck I'm going in!

    Afternoon
    Have done all the things I needed to today, went to file decree absolute and got dates wrong....grrr have to wait another week. Then drove back to school parked and have walked to market. Oilcloth I wanted is out of stock, double grrrrr. Have worn trousers and long sleeve top and it's now boiling my feet are sore from shoes rubbing and I'm tired :(

    Now sat outside of school waiting for b to finish, only 2 hours to go!

    Good news is I've been sent all details on school bursary... Once they get my forms back they said they would make decision within 2 weeks :)
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....
