was given floating shelves by a friend as was trying to figure out what to do with them then it dawned on me, I've turned them on their sides and put it on the boys shelves so we can see the Lego creations the boys have built as they seemed to get lost so the boys are chuffed they can actually see their masterpieces and best of all it was FREE :T
Been a productive morning so far, managed to get a small ironing pile done and put away before KK got up this morning
I've paid my national insurance contributions :T all £148.20 of themneeds must wish it was going to the barclaycard tho :rotfl:
I've filled out my annual return for my childminding business and I've also signed up for a mental health course which is FREE so I'll be tackling that throughout the week, Care Inspectorate love to see that your continuing to learn which tbh I love learning
Sent £2.11 towards the Barclaycard :T not much but i should have a bigger payment winging its way to the card on Friday :cool: I will have this card under the £4k mark by the end of the month
i have a hour and a half free this afternoon so I'm going to reprise my exercise DVD Body shred :eek: I plan on doing this every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoon to ensure I am getting some exercise, Monday and Friday is where my steps are 15000 so hoping it will help with the weight loss
Right off to order KK's new school jumpers for august next year as Tesco are stopping the embroidery service but they are the only jumper that don't drown him width wise as he's quite slim and they fit him perfect so will just buy them just now and put them away for august
