    todays washing dried

    'bottom' made for cottage pie (for tomorrows tea for the Vallikids)
    sunday dinner cooked - gammon (boiled) is becoming a regular (I won't do a roast in the oven as the door, you may recall, is catchless)

    Bank account updated up to end April. Once I have sorted my MOT and car service (next week) I will start making major inroads into the CC bill - and the lump I owe my mum.

    Mortgage has gone down as has the fuel bill (due to switching and Quidco;))

    If it weren't for this thread I would probably never have joined Quidco

    Not much done here, have listed 5 items on ebay and i'm hoping to get another 5 up before bedtime. :D

    Need to get the kids scrubbed
    Sort school uniforms
    put mattress topper on our bed
    change Rhys's bedding
    do 2 loads of washing
    bring in washing off the line
    reload dw
    get kids their supper
    make kids bring up shoes and coats
    get a bath myself
    and bed early
    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.

    Just a quick tidy over this morning before I set off on my walk. I thought it was going to be on the flat but it was across the Town Moor and a couple of small hills. Never mind I managed but now need new feet and legs lol. All for a good cause though.

    Relaxing now and going to watch a bit tv.

    Hugs and spoons for those that need them.
