    Ok, Monday flying done, plus scanned in and e-mailed (this time, rather than recorded deliverying it) yet another set of receipts, this time to the Irish courts re. our Ryansnare accommodation reimbursement (AGAIN, this is the sixth lot of receipts sent, and it's nearly a year since we were stranded!), did some filing so my desk looks less cluttered, avoided some accountancy stuff, although I need to get on the case with the VAT shortly, and completely failed to do even an HHC in the utility room, though I'd set it as my goal to get it reasonably straightened out for the end of the week.
    Off to sort tea out. Feeling unaccountably grumpy today. Not sure why, either a migraine, or a change in the weather imminent maybe.
    Saving up £25000/£3500 by Jan 1st 2012 by selling my clutter. Remember I'm doing it for Dad.
    Textiles, languages, travel and a lovely home are not stupid things to want. You have immediate family's support.Appreciate what I've achieved so far. Other people's opinion of me is none of my business.

    I've been the dentists now so another thing crossed off my list :D On the downside she thinks I might need a root canal :eek: I have a temporary filling & another appointment for Monday morning. I can feel the anaesthetic wearing off 'cause its starting to hurt and I have to go and collect books in now :mad::( Can I cry? Seriously doubt much is going to get done tonight, but I need to do the dailies.

    Will be back later to grab tomorrows list :wave:

    Hehehehe toots, as if you'd ever get on the wrong side of me :kisses3: It takes a lot but this morning I was absolutely livid, they dangled it and took it away (probably) AGAIN.....and then decided to plow the money into prefabs in another street :eek: THAT's what's annoyed me the most. They lied! Basically.

    Crafty yes my Doc would help x

    AAAaaaaaaaaanyhoo not going to dwell on it as I need to stop stressing, councillor emailed back but no further forward *sigh* still she replied and had forwarded it to someone else to help and said 'she sounds angry' Angry? I'd have ripped her bloody head off if she'd walked through the door:rotfl:hence the email and NOT a phone call, can't control me gob :D

    CBA with much now, done what I need to do earlier on, did have a sleep however after Lenza told me too :p loaded the DW, brought the washing in, that surprisingly, was pretty much dry :j first line dried washing for this year woot! Caught up with South Riding on iplayer, had a natter with littley (or not so little really) until she went off up to her room where she's been ever since, gotta love pre-teenies, still the temper has subsided now AF has joined her, first time last week, awwwwwww.

    My daffs are beautifully yellow, thought of you earlier on AnW'smum when I was looking at them.

    Best root through the freezer to see what we can have for tea x thanks for listening ladies x

    Well they are coming to talk about helping my son, and I don't suppose that mine will be the worst house they have ever been in! I'm working every day now until Friday lunchtime and anything I tidy may well be untidied by small children before then.
    Will have to concentrate on hoovering and dusting I think and then a massive bin bag dance just before they come round. Liked hex2's tip about hiding it in the bedroom - they won't be going in there!
    you are right honey - they will have been in far worse places - I am sure yours is not that bad anyway - we always thinks ours is really bad!
    Since you know they wont be going in your bedroom as hex says if you can hide stuff there then great - but it is only Monday and I am sure with a few HH challenges in the evenings or when you can you will soon make it look good.
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

    evening everyone

    hasn't it been a beautiful day?? :D sharp frost first thing and then glorious sunshine.. soo nice! Did lots in the garden & greenhouse after work, and it felt really good to be outside and not freezing!


    Monday ~ Living room, reception rooms and hallway DONE!! :j:j

    and the ironing basket is empty - although that's only temporary, as I've got another 2 loads of washing to do tonight :o

    HHPH (portuguese homework) now, and then dinner. Then more homework I think.

    Plan for tomorrow is work, then I've got to clean out the 'van. We're going to sell it :( Anybody want a very tidy 4 berth caravan, with a full end bathroom?? Not my idea to sell, but it's half mine and half my sister's. She wants the £, and we don't have it to buy her out, hence the need to sell.

    ah well.. onward! Hugs, spoons and lots of love as always to LL, toots, LW, soappie and anyone else who needs them!
