    I hope it gets sorted soon Mumto5.

    Livingroom been hoovered and throws now on the sofa rather than sitting in a corner. Livingrom been decluttered, it was awful this morning. Fire all cleaned out and set up for lighting later. :D

    Rhys took a sleep when i was making the buns so i'll start the garden later. DW nearly finished for a second time today, wm on again.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
  • My promise to me:
    In the next hour I will have a [STRIKE]cuppa[/STRIKE], [STRIKE]Hoover DD bed[/STRIKE], s[STRIKE]ort out her wardrobe[/STRIKE] managed to find another lot of washing in there!!!! Must check her efforts next time she "tidies" her room, [STRIKE]SS loo[/STRIKE], [STRIKE]SS Bathroom[/STRIKE]; R[STRIKE]eplace DD bedding[/STRIKE]; HHI; [STRIKE]hoover upstairs[/STRIKE]

    Ironing board up and ready for attack - can I have a 15 min rest please? Not doing anything more after this - working tonight from 5pm and have to collect kiddies from school.

    Hope you're all doing well ......

    Saving up £25000/£3500 by Jan 1st 2012 by selling my clutter. Remember I'm doing it for Dad.
    Textiles, languages, travel and a lovely home are not stupid things to want. You have immediate family's support.Appreciate what I've achieved so far. Other people's opinion of me is none of my business.

    Afternoon all, not caught up yet. Miserable day here so no washing done.

    I've done today's list. I'm on holiday from work for the next two weeks but not going away. This morning we watched a DVD that DD2 lent to us weeks ago so we can finally give that back next time she's in.

    Hope everyone's OK.

    Sockdrawer you are doing great :j

    Toots 41 items is more than I manage in 6 months on ebay (slide did sell and is being collected tomorrow:j)

    I've sorted all of the garage now (lovely DH had already tidied it all at the weekend so the kids could play snooker so I only had the cupboards to do)

    Library books renewed on line.

    Just going to wash up and then it will be school run time, the day has gone so quickly!

    Forgot to say I wrote to my bank and Credit card company about charges we had in August when a DD went out a day earlier than expected and bounced. Bank have refunded the £30 they charged and CC company have just rang to say they are refunding their £12 fee plus crediting £10 to cover the overseas mobile phone calls we had to make to sort it all out. Well worth a couple of polite but disgruntled letters :money::T:money:

    Started to think about christmas shopping, although I'd quite happily give christmas a miss if I'm honest, far prefer to go off somewhere rather than stay here.
