  • I quite innocently lit the blue touchpaper yesterday and, my gosh, did those sparks fly!

    Mother....you never "quite innocently" do anything...! :rotfl:

    All I said was if we did our own washing up every day instead of leaving it all until the weekend for the cleaner, she would be better employed spending that time actually cleaning the toilets and vacuuming the floors, neither of which she appears to do. I firmly believe it's not the cleaners job to wash mugs. I do my own so I can't see why the others can't too!
    The choice of washing mugs or cleaning toilets didn't go down well either :D

    Ooops, rant over.....

    Morning everyone.

    Day off today. DS was due to see his psychologist today. He has Asperger Syndrome (a form of autism), and sees her about once a year, but he had such a crisis about missing a play at school that it was pointless trying to take him, so he's gone off to school instead. I just said he was sick and could we rearrange the appointment. Waiting to hear back.

    I've taken the opportunity to do the grocery shopping today, to give me extra time with the kids tomorrow. Main shop at Aldi, then a few extra bits in Tesco, Sainsburys and Home Bargains. Not sure quite how the Sainsburys bill came to about the same as the Aldi one though!

    I did buy some Easter eggs in Sainsburys. They are reduced from £2.50 to £1 atm, so I bought 6. I'll get a few more next week, then that should do us.

    Cooking casserole for tea, to use up some veg that will go bad if I dont use it soon. Probably not going to bother with lunch. Going to go for a run in a bit, so will probably just have time for a cup a soup when I get back, then shower and it'll be time to start on dinner then fetch the kids from school.
    Debt free since December 2015. It can be done

    Hi everyone :wave:

    Proper list time now...

    Feeling back to normal today after yesterday's strangeness. Good to be back on form and up for it ;)

    Listy:
    • Porridge brekkie - no croissant just cos it's Friday - and definitely no breakfast butty! Long gone are the days!
    • Walking :cool: No bus just cos it's Friday :p
    • Deciding on balance transfer - 0% for 9 months (currently 4.9% until June) :T Plenty time to get it paid off, y'see :T
    • Pay balance off 'pay-it-all-off-every-month' cc ^ so I can go ahead with bal transfer before 31st March
    • Not worry that ^ will leave me skinto until the end of the month. Nothing much planned anyhoo.
    • Take boot to cobbler to see if he can fix the heel - cheaper than new boots :)
    • Visit threading lady… not sure how this is DFW - but I have left it twice as long between appointments as I usually do :p
    • Get excited about my half price Graze box being delivered :D :j
    • Get a 'fake away' with supermarket pizza and a bottle of vino to share with OH :T
    Catch up with all you lovelies over the weekend!

    Stitchy - completely agree! How easy would it be for everyone to clean their own mug?!
    Karb - hope you get your son's appt sorted.

    :beer:
