Congratulations Dt

Well I'm about to go and brave the passage, if I'm not back in a few hours I'm buried under a pile of boxes someone come and rescue me lol.

After seeing how lovely my house can look after Lisa's hard work, I'm determined every corner drawer cupboard is going to be turned out Next door have offered to do a charity shop run once a week for me if need be

Lovely inspiring post MG, I need some change in my career, its becoming very samey and I don't feel its healthy to be around abject negatively constantly, its very hard to keep reframing and counter transferring most of my time.

Still drifting in a sea of blahness, need to swim to shore and start a journey....

Gone on MG treat yourself - If you don't want/need the top up, I will take it off your hands.

How about a good old fashioned chip pan and basket ? I picked a pan with a lid and a basket for about £6 altogether - pan from Tesco, and basket from Wilkinsons, but they had pans at a good price too. Just leave the oil in the pan if you use it regularly or decant when cool and re-use if you don't.

Oooh!! that remnds me of my Gran's.

She had this ancient pot and wire basket - it was always kept full of beef dripping and used to make the most fabulous chips ever.

My mouth is watering just remembering..............

...........ooh I hope memories don't have calories :rotfl:

Inspired by Claire I now have 50 things thrown in a bag ready to go to the chariy shop to bless someone else.

DS1 and I are going to find ten things each every day to fling or gift to prepare the decks for Christmas.

Posties just been = bringing me a pre-approved Credit Card with £3000 limit. For just a second I was tempted to pay the bank the money they are still chasing,but NO, NO, NO!!!!

When they are pad off I don't want to be in a Credit card spiral, I want to be debt free and concentrating on paying school fees and mortgages ................. everything in good time.

Ooh and its pink and girlie!!! I am so tempted:D

Was actually debating popping into Argos today, they have a cookworks chip fryer on offer at £12.99.

We have chips as a treat once a week - but at £1.50 per bag, thats £3.00 per week for something that would cost pennies to make at home. Remember I have a girlie friend that sells me her farm potatoes at next to nothing.

Figure the fryer would take 4 weeks or so to pay for itself - but I could also add, fried fish, lemon chicken, pakora and puris into the kids menus over the winter too.

Yes, and samosas, onion bhaji's, scotch eggs, and doughnuts as well of course! :T Does sound though like for a small extra spend the next one up is a better deal. Worth also checking Tesco Direct if you have any CC vouchers awaiting use as you can use clubcard exchange for fryers by the looks of it. They have a stainless steel one I notice for a shade under £20 - so £10 using the exchange. Gah - thinking about that has now got me looking at vacuum cleaners again...could get a decent looking one for £25 in CC vouchers using the exchange by the look of it!

Got to have a constructive day here again today and tomorrow so time for a "2 day list" (as opposed to a TADA list!)

Banking
Sort out washing on airer
fold duvet cover, pillow cases and sheet and put away
Sort out next load of washing ready to go on overnight tonight
Get dishwasher loaded ready to go on tonight
Do two Avon deliveries where people have asked me to return today
Whilst doing one of those slip a "next campaign" book through a door where someone has specifically asked for one.
While in the area pop into Lidl and see what offers they have on
Try a further Avon delivery where there was nobody in yesterday and pop slip through door if still no answer.
Sort out next lot of books to be stuffed through letterboxes
update my calling book with latest houses done.
Go out and actually deliver the next lot of books!
Hoover (So I can remind myself how carp the current hoover is!)
Declutter one more area
Write list of stationery type bits I need to buy - both for Avon and for Matrix.
Start and accounts spreadsheet for Self-employed income/outgoings.
Update regular clients running invoice with days worked this week.
Give some serious though to DFW photo challenge pic for this week.
Take picture for DFW photo challenge!
Start doing promo stuff for next Avon campaign.
Drop some stuff into charity shop.
Write meal plan for next week - have slipped on this totally this week.
Washing up
(Fri) Washing off airer
Washing from machine to go on airer.

More to be added as I think of it and I will also post this onto my diary I think.

Have a good day all - Spud - how's your daughter doing today? Boddy - hugs to you, hope you're OK-ish.
