Memorygirls - The Matrix Reloaded

crickett1234

Morning Matrix. *Yawn*. I did go to practice last night (and just as well I did, because the bits we rehearsed... I really needed to rehearse! ) I am still pretty sleepy this morning though. Luckily, I don't have any meetings today, so I am just going to batter the to do list again (and try and keep up with you guys!) So glad that the teleconference seemed to work last night (after some teething problems). I love how technology really seems to help people come together! Gives me goosebumps!

Plan for the rest of my day is work like stink until 4pm, drive home, then housework (and lots of it. Hubby appears to have lost the directions to the cleaning kit and indeed the ability to operate the vaccuum! :mad:) and then kitten feeding. I will feed us as well, and leave hubby to clear it all up afterwards. After dinner I think I might retire up the stairs for some quiet time for myself. Crafting or reading or somesuch. And then bed. By... ooh, I don't know... 7.30pm!!

Have a good day everyone!!

Good morning

Sun shining, a load of washing in the machine, bed stripped ready to go in after that

Dh is home with the stomach bug that is going around.

Got loads to do today, Ds2 school trousers don't fit he couldn't do them up this morning so he had to wear jeans to school and take a letter, so I now need to find a new pair today.

Need to pop to the college beauty Salon as dh paid for me to be waxed last week and only paid for my legs and I had my underarms done too, so I owe them money, plus one of my nails need repairing , then pop to the market to get some baking stuff from sugar hut to make 2 birthday cakes. ( may need the matrix help on this )

Morning all.
Glad the conference went well. Will pop over to read the bits that I missed. Sorry but Moo was insistent to go for a walk. Just back from the forest with him now. The bluebells are all coming up now so I might head out with the camera this evening.
Heading on the long commute to the office now (back bedroom) where I will be pouring over the computer all day. Have a great one everybody

Target for today is to clear out my office.

I need to turn it into a space that DS1 and I can ALSO use as a classroom - somewhere to leave work in progress etc away from sticky little toddler fingers.

I figure if I can square up that room there is loads of stuff lying aroung in piles that can be moved up there and put neatly away - leaving the rest of the house better organised.

Its tough finding places for everything.

Then I really need to revisit the building of the walls for DS2's room again. In the shower this morning I realised that if he was upstairs and I could rent out my room down here - I would have a 50% payrise:eek:. I'm horrified that I am letting potential pennies slip through my fingers like that - the difference it could make to the boys lives.

Off with my bin bags again

I have to apologise ladies, for the negative stuff (personal) that I've posting over the weekend. Not very Matrix like at all. My only excuse (reason) is that I've been feeling negative over this job situation and redundancy. That however is no reason for me to project my negatives in here. So I'm sorry (insert red-faced smiley):o.

The four hour working week stuff was soooooo negative, and the thing is, if I was in an up-beat frame of mind, I would probably have tried to embrace it and sort of adapt its principles etc.

Feel free to tell me straight if I get like that again .
You have all been a strength of support and positivity to me and again I apologise.x

It was very clear how bad you felt, Fantasia, and I'm really happy that you're starting to be on the up again.

I think the deal is as long as we all have our wobbles at different times then everything is fine.

How can you stay negative when you have a Great Dane to luuurrrrvvvveeee???

Up to three bin bags now - including a bx of stuff I had in Berlin 18 years ago!!!!!

Love it all specially the Dane! Good for you on the decluttering, MG - and your post this morning, about potentially having a lodger in - and of course wodges of lodger money are tax free!

Fantasia what MG said we all have our moments. I dont think you were particularly negative just questioning and we all have to question things sometimes.

Now for those of you that need a little perspective I just got this in my personal inbox. On lunch so that is allowed

Good point from cheri too ...and oh my word, that video .... I'm at the point where I'm roughing out the structure of a new website, and that message is really important to me!

I'm off out for today now, to see my mum and my sister, but I *will* finally get over to the other side this evening, connection allowing - its very, very fallible in the evening ....

Hope everything goes forward today for peeps, especially Crickett - some visualisations called for too, I think, tho I like the intray and the plants as well.

I think the earnings allowed tax free for "Rent-a-room" is £4250 (or so)

Yup!! like I say a 50% payrise :T

Or put it another way - if we live on what we have been living on now - its 34 leaves of my mortgage tree - or 3.4% of the mortgage itself.

I've cleared the floor so that I can run the tape measure around to find out the dimensions of the wall to start collecting the timber.

I have also been brave and put HALF of my recipe book collection into the car to go to the Charity Shop (the half that I use less of course)

Just down for another black bin liner

I'm trying to think of it as "not" throwing out, but "releasing" them to go and be loved by someone else

It's hard though:(
