OMG that's awful Candy :eek:, I hope she's ok. Several years ago my nan fell out of bed in the early hours of the morning & broke her hip, but it was too dark so she couldn't see the numbers on the phone so had to lay there for 3 hours until it got light enough for her to see so she could call for help

Soup is cooking on the stove as I type - using veggies that look as if they are about to walk out of the fridge drawer and veg rack

Thanks everyone

Have shut my suitcase now! Time to get on with the housework:

• Make my kitchen sparkle
• Clean bathroom
• Laundry
• Sort clothes/lunches for work
• Sort stuff we have to return for refund
• Order of the day scrolls
• Cut ribbon into strips - random job that needs doing!
• Got freebie toothpaste and mouthwash after my complaint letter - bought a mouthwash that was only half full!
• Went for coffee yesterday at new cheap coffee shop - run by a trust, 'employing' unemployed people and trying to get them work experience :T

Catch up with everyone soon.

Candy - hope your mum is ok

Oooh Katsu - I reeeaaallly want one of those granny trollies!

Unsavy with £ - my way might not actually be the best, but when I was struggling I found it helped to have a target to spend every day... So, damage limitation, I decided on aiming to spend £1 or £2. Found that was enough to get that 'buzz' but little enough not to feel guilty or end up splurging after a week of no spending... HTH.

Thanks for reminding me La e - Unsavvy with £ - I allow myself a charity shop trip or trip to poundland regularly so I get to do some spending at hopefully less of a dent on my wallet.

La e, when you get one, don't get the cheapest ones that fold up into a small bag/wallet as they fall apart too quickly - too flimsy without a metal back/handle. I found the handles tear off. I have one like this

Hello Everyone , long time no see...............oh my luck is unbelievable.

Had Just sorted out my return to work having been off sick to care for my dad who was terminally ill, when I became ill managed 2 half shifts in 2 weeks. GPs kept saying it was a grief reaction but agreed to do some tests. Am now waiting to see a surgeon to have my gall bladder removed and as it is so bad I won't even be able to have keyhole surgery . GP said I won't feel any better until it is out and the wait will be longer for open surgery unless I get choleycystitis or another attack of biliary colic ( have had 5 that they said were anxiety attacks ). I can't stay off work as I have been off so long I'm into half pay - and a single parent. Ohh dear . Supposed to be working a ten hour shift tommorow and no way I can do that so will be in managers office at 8am to negotiate how I work my hours.

Having said all that I'm having a good day today so hoping to get a fair bit done . My list :

• Use up all free veg family gave me before they went on their jollies - parsnip soup simmering away.
• Freeze milk as given loads - need to work out what to do with all the eggs
• Do some cleaning and tidying- house has gone to pot
• Put my cake buisness on hold - I can't reliably meet deadlines
• Get my insurance details out so I can ring them tommorow, it pays out if i'm off sick longer than 6 months but excludes stress which they will say was the issue with my dad - worth a call though.
• Sort out forms for healthplan and claim for DDs new glasses.
• Have entered points on coke zone and claimed an eyepencil , have a nice little make - up set underway for DDs xmas
• Enter some comps
• Do some surveys
• Pack items sold on Ebay - not listing again though for a while
• Turned off heating - we have abused that just lately
• Check banks - shuffle money and pay some bills - not looking forward to that
• Think positively

Am really glad I started sorting my finances last year, things are tough at the moment and have had to put stuff on credit cards and reduce my debt repayments but I am still better off than I was last year. Hopefully things will pick up soon

Afternoon all

Sorry I didn't post yesterday it seems that AOL have been experiencing tech issues in our area apparently :mad:

So my list for today:

• [STRIKE]OH to clean out litter trays[/STRIKE] Done
  
• [STRIKE]OH to empty bins and discinfect[/STRIKE] Done, out drying in the sun will be put back in the utility once hoovered
  
• [STRIKE]Put new cotbed sheets, blankets in the wash with Fairy - dry naturally then tumble dry for the last 5 minutes - want my little girl on super soft sheets![/STRIKE] Drying out in the sun as we speak!
  
• Make up cot bed including mobile
• Finish hospital bag and make a bag of my going home outfit!
• [STRIKE]Sort out nappy bag[/STRIKE] Pretty much done
  
• [STRIKE]Write 2 reviews[/STRIKE] Done and written!
  
• [STRIKE]Tidy and reorganise pantry[/STRIKE] It looks so much better!
  
• [STRIKE]Flea Lola - Ruby was only done 2 weeks ago[/STRIKE] Done and now she has disappeared outside to sulk
  
• [STRIKE]Tidy bedroom and put away new clothes :T[/STRIKE] Nicely hung up in my wardrobe
  
• Put down bio powder on carpet & vacum whole house
