    Aw Missed your HHC Rachelet. How have you got on?

    I'll be starting my first HHC of the day at 9.45 after my cuppa. Care to fly along anyone?

    I'll join you Delicious. Didn't get much done in the my first HHC. I lit the fire, then hung out a load of washing. Have hung big stuff out on the line. Am hoping that as it is sunny and washing line is in full sun, that it will dry today. Then hung little bits out in the living room in front of the fire. Then fed half the animals.

    In the next HHC am going to finish feeding the animals, then start on the kids rooms! I might be a while!

    hex2- it must have taken all day to make that beautiful penguin cake :T

    and to install a real kitchen with worktops and everything just for the photo.......:D I wish I could decorate cakes like that - my DS2 loves penguins. I wish I had worktops too

    I have joined Dusty and swapped energy supplier this morning. I used the actual consumption for the last 12 months and SHOULD be £360 a year better off. Cashback is always nice too. Last time I looked (a few months ago)there was very little in it, this time it is 20% cheaper.

    WM is now back on empty on a hot wash with soda crystals. Must do the DW too. I should put the oven shelves etc in the bath but I don't want to make my shiney new bath dirty.

    Very cold here, may have to crack and put the woodburner on in a minute. Or actually get on with something.

    ETA - joining the 9.45 HHC

    Morning folks

    I've given my self a massive kick up the bum, so to speak.

    fed up with this menopause stuff, that is the casue of it all.

    So far

    I have sorted out the house insurance as the old policy runs out 1/11/10, new policy is £50 cheaper than last year, for more cover, so I am happy with that.

    I have done a mass of shredding of old papers etc from 6 - 9 years ago, now have 3 large black sacks of shredding, my files and brief case are breathing a sigh of relief, as Ihave now made room for more paper work.


    New bank has been sending my stuff like pin numbers, so all that seems ok.

    Taken photos of the next 'items of interest' for ebay's free lisiting day when ever that is, and about to write and save the words in a worddoc. so I am ready, I want to start these items at more than 99p, but don't want to pay listing fees, (very MSE) so I'll have to wait.

    Next on my list is to find my business a cheaper gas supplier, I have now over recent days been taking an avid interest in my bills and how they arrive at the total, as I have done all mine, work is next!!

    Valli~ you are aware that although listing feesare free, you still pay final fees and paypal fees?

    Have a good day, hugs if you need one xxxxx
