    I used the By Box delivery service for the first time today. Our collection point is at the petrol station at Mr Ms so very convenient and means free delivery.:j:money:

    Mudbath, I'm sorry about your DD's guinea pig :(

    Dusty
    , I haven't heard of that delivery service.

    Car passed its MOT and it's been serviced so that's some more money decluttered. At least it's done.

    Done all my level 1s and my dailies too so another good day. Normally on a teaching day I don't do any housework so this is a real turnaround for me :)

    Just got DS back from nursery and it took for ever - the traffic was really bad. I don't have to go out again today now as the Fellowship Group are coming here thanks to DH being away (again) tonight.

    Mudbath so sorry to hear about the guinea pig. We had 2 two years ago and they were sweet but had to get rid of them once we got our dog who is a Jack Russell with a very high prey drive ...... could have been very nasty :eek:

    Right, off to do some pasta in sauce now - see you later x

    Sorry to hear about gp

    Vanilla~ I suggest you have a strong talk to your sister, as putting you down as employer, must be some sort of fraud......

    Bins all out for binmen tomorrow.
    Cat fed, he went out but was back in within 2 mins, as it is so cold.

    Evening,

    I am just not focused on cleaning, mainly because there is so much carp about.
    I have decided to put 3 things away or bin them every time I walk into a room. If I carry on doing that until my day off, I should be able to see the surfaces to clean them. I'm S&S ing and keeping on top of the washing.

    Cats all fed, just need to feed DH and myself, then do the online shopping I abandoned last night.

    Onwards and upwards :D
    Yesterday is history

    Today is a gift

    Kazw there really is no talking to her, i said about the factory jobs and she say's there's none going but she never actually phoned them to find out. She say's she is lossing no sleep over it so i've left it up to her. I give her until the end of the month and then she'll panick as her hubby will be expecting a months wage.

    I've done nothing since. :o Hubby even cooked dinner awwwwwww he's put his foot in as he'll be cooking more often.:D
    I think i'll be heading to bed soon, well as soon as Rhys goes.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
