    I get fed up with the weekend housework routine, so last night I scrubbed the whole of upstairs, changed beds and ironing sorted. Hope to get downstairs done tomorrow night and then the weekend is MINE which will make a change

    Oh I am sure he will Taxi, nice to 'see' you!

    HWG - thats my plan too, like you totally fed up with spending weekend cleaning, and I really want to get out into the garden. As long as it's not cold, I don't mind being there.

    Hello

    Sorry I was MIA for a few days - power cable to lappers broke but all sorted now!

    Just finished weekly accounts and surprise, surprise, they balanced! Long may that continue! But OMG the cost of fuel is really bad, very expensive to do deliveries now!

    Finances ok, not great because I need to pay DH's cc, (thats the same one he ignored a while back and STILL hasn't paid) but I can pay it on Monday which is good and means I am on track! January will of course be tight, but don't think I am alone with that one!

    Also keeping a close eye on food budget to see what can be done there.

    Hope all are well x
