  • Helen- don't think anyone thought you were being horrible! I wouldn't be too thrilled at going all that way either x

    Good Morning! Thanks for twelcome, Cat501.Well I did loads of the cards yesterday and almost all the ones that neeed posting have gone.
    Did a little ironing earlier today...and I will get to the hoovering today, promise! We also had a friend round for supper last night so I did clean the kitchen and downstair cloakroom and tidy the livingroom - none of which I'd thought to mention! (Wood flooring downstairs so that's why I got away without hoovering!!)
    Will pop back later on....
    Resolution:
    Think twice before spending anything!
  • Morning :)

    I've stripped our bed off and bedding's in the machine, reluctantly using the dryer today to get on top of the washing. Dishes done, going to hoover and dust downstairs quickly before work. That's the plan anyway and If I manage all this I'm giving myself the afternoon off :)

    not sure how i will do all this with a naughty 2 and a half year old running around and tripping me up all day! time to get a dvd out i think! HELP! x

    Goals: Save £500 for emergencies, Save £200 of Amazon vouchers for Xmas, fix my holey clothes!

    I've been Christmas shopping.:eek:

    Goodnight.


    :D - well, I wish it was bedtime! Put dishes away from last night, taken mince out the freezer for dinner, and now I just want to go back to bed! So tired - and meant to be going out tonight:( I really should go, don't think I've been out in 3 months. Wind is whipping up and it's quite wet, all in all a miserable day here.

    Good afternoon Messies :wave:

    :T Go me!

    I tidied living room yesterday afternoon after work, hoovered etc and it looks like a new room!!! DDs have been warned that making any mess at all is prohibited.

    TV is covered with dust so will sort that out tonight, and can barely see in mirror over fireplace due to open fire smoke/dust rising up :eek: Thats going to be a regular cleaning job until Spring :o Worth it for the real fire tho.

    I'm still on top of the kitchen which is good - actually that is a lie - I am nearly on top of the kitchen but have a MrT delivery coming tonight between 8 and 10pm and no more space to put stuff as have been storing for possible snow/winter problems!!!
    Putting these winter preps here so I don't forget!

    Hollie - DVD sounds like a plan

    Cat - well done and you should go out tonight - you'll enjoy yourself once you're out and about

    Frugal - another well done - are you wearing that coat whilst cleaning - is it making you HOP along lol [jealous really] [I hope you're the Frugal I'm thinking off!!]

    The ironing pile is now clear - shame there is a huge pile of washing to do
    Upstairs is hoovered - well the kids rooms and the landing are

    Going food gathering now as I'm starving

    lol Yes its meeeeee! No way could I wear that coat in the house - i'd roast in it... which is possibly what happened to the rabbits it was made from :D:o I've had to wait until it was really cold to wear it as it was just too hot! Even when we went trick or treating!!!

    I have to say, every woman (who wants one) should have at least one fur coat :D

    What is this ironing of which you speak? I have an ironing board but it is a burglar alarm (leans up at kitchen garden door!) :rotfl:
