15 things for 15 minutes challenge
But with a twist....for every 1 thing you've been putting off doing, spend 15 minutes doing something just for you.
Mine would go like this.

Morning Pooky and all to follow.
Love the challenge Pooky, will have a good think for 15 nice things for me as Saturday seems to be a day for doing the things I don't like, shopping, washing, cleaning.....etc0 -
Love the challenge Pooky although I fear my ironing basket needs a but more than 15 mins spending on it:eek:
Its windows in this house that is the dreaded job as we have 3 sets of patio doors, I will do the living room and bedroom windows this weekend promise:)
I must also get a study plan together for my re-sit on 29th November otherwise I will start to get stressed about it looming.
Probably be around most of the day as I feel a bit of a cold coming on so will try and relax a bit.But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0 -
I have a nappy cake to assemble (commission for someone) and am meeting ILs later - so far more than 15 mins of hard things there :rotfl:
Have to persuade DH to look at leaking pipe behind mouldy kitchen cupboard wall (moved some cookery books and :eek: found manky cupboard wall) also planning other household tasks. I suppose I am starting with the "for me" bits as I'm here and have done a survey this morning.
Also need to get ready tomorrow for starting uni on Monday.Debt at highest: £8k. Debt Free 31/12/2009. Original MFD May 2036, MF Dec 2018.0 -
Morning All
Hope Elfen is doing ok with her run.
I look forward to Saturday's to get lots of little bits done, but then when it arrives I always seem to waste it somehow or feel too tired to do anything. Had a lie in and must have been in a real deep sleep when something woke me, so feel a bit bleugh right now.OD [STRIKE] £2600 [/STRIKE] £0 :j Loan [STRIKE]£9500.00[/STRIKE] £0 :j Car [STRIKE]£3150[/STRIKE] £0 :j Moving Costs [STRIKE]£1300[/STRIKE] £0 :j Savings £1150 :j

I'm like you tenmah I leave all my housework until the weekend thinking I'll have loads of time to do it, but when the weekend comes I resent having to spend my time off doing s0dding housework!!
So...still in bedwith cup of tea No 3 being made by DS. Had porridge for brekky (yum) so hopefully I won't be eating my own weight in cheese (with Marmite) like I have been doing for the past week.
