Looking to the Future ... My Mortgage Free Dream

Sooo tired this afternoon. I have however finished work until next wednesday which is lovely. Not a lot planned but need to keep it low cost.

So far we're having a NS weekend which has been nice. We've received a free energy moniter this morning so that's been plugged in and being set up. I can see my consumption being a new obsession.

Well done on getting DD's school place, i know it can be a worry as there is a lot of competition for places. Also well done on the ebay sales, it's nice to get paid to declutter isn't it.

We have lots of decluttering to do. I keep saying we'll get the house ready as though we're selling it, but it never quite gets there. Still had a nice picnic in the garden for lunch. I've just popped in to write a DY review and some rating. Hubby is going to attempt to fix some of the decking that's been almost broken for three years. Wonders will never cease.

There's lots we could do here but hopefully we have done enough iykwim. Last time we considered moving we painted hall stairs and landing, patched up in lounge where the garage conversion had been done and painted some doors downstairs. I'm hoping we'll get away with a declutter and a big clean!

We've been pottering about at home yesterday afternoon and this morning. I've cleaned the outside windows at the back downstairs, and washed all the kitchen cupboards in an effort to keep things looking sparkling. Long way to go though.

That's pretty much what I did yesterday, great minds eh?

well mine were looking dirty so they really needed to be done lol. Currently listing some lots on ebay in an effort to rid of some junk and create funds for birthday pressies

I would really need to more than a deep clean in my house!! I think even if I dont put it up for sale it needs to be done every few years lol. I think I did the cupboards last year but they need doing again grrr.

My utility area gets cluttered up with things that I have nowhere to put them (and my understairs cupboard is already full) I told the kids that most of there toys and games would have to go into storage if the house did go up for sale! They'd be happy to just be left with the DS and laptop!

we've got toys everywhere Pammy, and random crap. under my bed and in the top cupboards of the wardrobes. It's all random stuff that I really need to start being ruthless with I think.

Cooking a roast chicken tonight and then I'm going to be organised so we can have left over chicken stir fry tomorrow. Really want a glass of wine but trying to be sooo good with money.
