List for today:
iron stuff for tomorrow
laundry - sorted, just waiting for DS1 to come home and add his lot
HW with DS2
school work
cook tea
[STRIKE]HHC somewhere[/STRIKE] done some dot-to-dotting
sort bags (DS2's and mine)
budget (if time, NOT an excuse to avoid school work!)
I just had a break with a hot drink and fed DS2. Small Cat is permanently hanging around outside looking for food, so I must buy some worming stuff tomorrow. DH is in serious danger of being downgraded to KH. Pity his mum hasn't got a bigger house (just a small one-bedroom council bungalow for OAPs), otherwise I'd send him back.
Off to do some ironing.0 -

Good morning
I am trying to find a colour so I can see my posts quickly......................think this one will do.
Anyway today:
Have done the dishes
Cleared up what counter surfing dog number 2 pinched
One lot of washing
Ironing - although hubby nearly had his trousers thrown at him. They are slippery fabric and trying to get a perfect crease down the front was a challenge.
Logged my points on WW
Done the banking
Looked at the filing................
Anyone who wants their ROD done - um I drrink A LOT of coffee and am very ruthless! :rotfl:
right be back soon.............
1 step closer
If you wait for perfect conditions, nothing would ever get done! :T
I'm not short - I'm condensed awesome!0 -
Rollox, think I made a stupid mistake on my balance transfer application and didn't put a , in my salary....**slap head**.
Got my credit report, all good there, so I'll hang fire and look for another deal. Pah..
Right off to get some kind of something done.

Not soon enough!
fedup - I fancy a jacket for my lunch now.Time to try them out in the halogen oven, I think. Good job DS2 likes them, too. Mind you, he has them so often for his dinner at school that he might not want one today. :cool: I'll do a few and freeze them, too. It's a silly question, but what do you do when you want to use them? Defrost them first? Micro or oven?
Thanks for yesterday's links, jinky. The mse spreadsheet doesn't have enough categories for me and I don't have time to tinker with it, so I might try the spending diary site, I think. I'll wait for next month, though, because I don't have time at the moment (It would make a great displacement activity, though.).
List for today:
[STRIKE]iron stuff for tomorrow[/STRIKE] done a HHI and a bit extra
laundry - sorted, just waiting for DS1 to come home and add his lot
HW with DS2
school work
cook tea
sort bags (DS2's and mine)
budget (if time, NOT an excuse to avoid school work!)
Must have a bath, too, so I don't leave it too late and go to bed with damp hair. I'm determined to be organised for tomorrow.

Then, for everybody, the Royal Wedding Bank Holiday on Friday 29th and May Day Holiday on Monday 2nd. Oh, and local elections on Thursday 5th.
I've been doing a money diary/spreadsheet since the beginning of the year: 15 categories of spending, totals in those categories, daily totals, money in...
Anyroad, I have some ebay to carry on with (9 items, 1 bid, 4 watchers) and washing up after dinner today: I see some cupboard tidying in my future as well. As somebody complained so much about the Yorkshires the other night, he can do dinner today:D

Morning all (well it was when I started this!)
Washing in the machine but it's not looking good for hanging it on the line as the sky is getting darker and darker .......
Going to do a bit of a tidy in my bedroom and then have some lunch before I get some school stuff done
Anyone want to join me in a HHC 12:15 - 12:45?Froddy... want to come house hunting with me
I could be persuaded, depending on when
ETA - next school holidays are the same here as they are with short_bird"There's only one way of life and that's your own" - Levellers
