    Half hour later and all I've done is sort through a drawer of DD's gibble, but about a third of it is now in the bin/recycling and a third put in it's rightful place.....babysteps, babysteps.....

    How did you get on Penpen?

    Got a letter in the post confirming cancellation of pet insurance, effective as of Oct 28..(was paying £26 amonth and have found some for £10 a month)....got a couple of weeks to see if I can find any cheaper...
    Car insurance is up in Dec so got some time to search through quotes for that too and OH and I are going to look at quotes for the house insurance too.....
    I have also cut down on spending...trying to do it online instead of just popping to the shops(always seem to pick up things I don't want or need)...whether it be household/food or clothes....easier to open a few tabs and compare prices(saves diesel too!!!).

    I too am going to look on the up your income thread...

    Must also do a HHH(homework) when I get from work.....As well as a few more things off the list xx

    More decluttering :) Taken everything out of the bureau and put it back neatly. Several bits from there to chuck or recycle :T

    Quick question for those of you who burn wood (I'm writing a presentation honestly, not wandering round the web avoiding work :o) roughly how much do you pay for logs and how much is a 'load' generally?

    My dad provided all my logs last year, but I've finally got storage sorted (OH had built me a log store :D) so I can actually stock up and keep them there rather than in an old dustbin (which can then be used for coal).

    I have done the washing up today... need to hoover too. House is NOT in the condition I would like (I blame OH), neither is the garden (I blame OH for that too) and I'm not getting out running and walking as much as I should either (probably down to OH too :p) so I need to get my act together this weekend... we have a whole weekend together (first time ever) with nothing planned ;)

    T'was a bad idea going into the attic, 15 bin bags now down :eek: all mostly to be stuck on ebay so now my washing pile is massive.

    Torch decided to run out of battery so they are now on the charger. Then i'll get the christmas stuff up later, i did clear a good bit of stuff in the attic. :D

    Cuppa now and then hopefully Rhys might go for a nap.
    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
