EH is Back - and going Onwards, and Upwards!

EssexHebridean

Quick list for tomorrow before I head bed-wards....

Pack remaining three eBay items
remaining three ebay items to post office
Washing from airer > fold & put away
Washing from machine > Airer
Next load of washing > Machine (actually back to machine as MrEH took it out to put his rugby kit through instead! :mad:)
Tidy front room
Dust front room :eek:
Declutter 5 items
30 minutes working on business stuff
30 minutes working on Avon stuff
Bag of assorted stuff to charity shop?
Update client invoice including Monday and print ready to take in on Monday.
Quick wander round on way back from PO to collect any Avon books that have been left out early.
Note for Avon customer who was looking for a particular item to let her know it is coming up in clearance in a few campaigns time.
Write up new calling book (Avon) - current one has been in the rain once too often...!
Research cheap camping toaster online.

That'll do - a good mix of the "work" stuff, the cheery stuff, and the general pottery stuff!

Ah, today was going to be a NSD until that bloomin' Groupon deal for the Body Shop came along....even MrEH said I'd be a fool not to buy it!

maybe i should have a look at the Groupon stuff. Thankfully i'm not near a BS so won't be tempted by that offer.

I love it when people use their to-do lists so actively - good for you, and it sounds like you're going great guns too

Having been and paid the Avon money in this morning I remembered when I got home that I'd forgotten to take the extra £5 from my change purse that I take out on deliveries, and then promptly found another £15 that I'd forgotten to take out of my coat pocket so that has now gone into my purse which will save me going to the cashpoint tomorrow.

Done quite well on the list, and have also been out and taken the photo I wanted for the DFW Photo Challenge so had better go and track down the thread, subscribe to it so it doesn't escape again, and then put the photo on there!

hi EH, hope Mr EH is feeling less pain soon, i managed to watch part of the England game on saturday and last night Mr LT & i watched Invictus. I think i could actually get into watching Rugby which is something major for me as i generally hate watching any sport, specially Football.

Cheers LT - he was discharged from hospital this afternoon thankfully - I sorted my working hours so that I was able to get there not more than half an hour after they'd booted him out. Thank goodness he's not done any serious damage - serious internal bruising is the verdict, which is a lot better than the feared bruised/torn liver. He has been told that he is under no circumstances playing again for at least three weeks, (although I don't think he'll be fit to, to be honest) and absolutely NOT the saturday before we head off on holiday!

So - quick end of month summary:

Grocery Challenge: - Spot on this month! Averaged at £2.58 spent per day so very happy with that. I will be shopping tomorrow for this week, but intend to take a list (and NOT take MrEH!) and stick to it.
Holiday Fund: Not added much to this, but we will be counting up the contents of the general savings pig and the pig MrEH feeds with money found on the streets (this is so full we can't get more in it!) in the next few days so fingers crossed for the totals there! Cottage balance will be paid this week, and ferries will probably be booked inside a fortnight or so.
Exciting/Fun stuff - fingers crossed we'll still be able to go to Chester, will depend on how MrEH is feeling at that end of the week. We now have a nice meal out planned with a friend in early May too as another friend has given MrEH a voucher for Smiths of Smithfield (John Torode's place) as a thank you for some help he gave her with something, so the two of us are going there with the friend I spent the weekend with, as the voucher value will be too high for the two of us to spend alone!
Avon - going pretty well - I thought this time was looking a bit dodgy but looking at my orders online tonight it appears not! I also have £16 of credits still to put through due to a customer who hasn't contacted me about getting her stuff delivered. I suspect she's done a flit from home. Shame, she was a nice lady.
Other stuff: VSP savings are coming along surprisingly well - although I still haven't a clue what it's going to be used for! I have chewed through phone credit in the last few days due to calling people about MrEH, calling his hospital phone (which turned out to be about 70p a minute from my mobile!) so am now down to about £3-odd free credit and £4.72 paid credit. Never mind, couldn't be helped, and MrEH has already said he will pay towards my next top-up.
Pinnacle & L&G have both cancelled the policies now although L&G have to refund a premium they took after the cancellation.



Bit cross I missed out on the NSD target for Feb by a day, still, must try harder in March eh!
