I know 4 weeks eek!!!! it seems to have gone slowly but then when I look back its actually gone quickly if that makes sense lol, soon be your turn

A daily list is good for me I like reading your lists, how sad am i lol

Me and DS are just chilling watching cartoons, really need sleep though, OH has gone to his friends for a curry should be home soon.

Went food shopping yesterday spent silly amount of money close to £200 EEK!! but that did include a new set of knives, DS lunchbox and drinks bottle for school so can knock £27 off that. Need to see how long this will last me and I am going to add up all the little shops inbetween to get a realistic figure OH is up for this also which is good. I have noticed he will eat something now just so it doesnt go to waste where as in the past he would have just let it go off and get thrown. Freezer and cupboards are bursting at the seams so no excuse for takeaways etc

Hey bella, its crazy how much shopping can cost isnt it, all my little shops always seem to add up to ridiculous amounts, I managed to spend £10 on bleach and sponges and rubber gloves yesterday, I'm really going to have to start reigning it in. I have so much food in the house, think Im going to have to start keeping a tally of how much I've spent.

Just been and made myself a cuppa and have been outside and picked the ripe tomatoes (you can tell Ive got baby brain I just typed strawberries instead, and I havent even got any!!) In my new saving money food kick I am going to have pasta jamie oliver stylee with garlic, olive oil and some cherry tomatoes, mmmmm..... for lunch, need to make some soup too, out of all the frozen veg I have. Dont think I'll get round to that today though.

hey just wanted to drop in and say hi - saw you were pregnant - im due 15/09/11 with my first - im glad im not the only one trying to pay things off and clean the house from top floor to ceiling before the matpay kicks in!

loumac

Morning missy and welcome back!

I'm very impressed to see how much you're getting done, you sound very motivated! I've got 6 weeks left and have hit lazy mode! I think it's because I've been off for the summer hols and have slowly started to wind down. Back to school Thursday though so sure that will kick me back into gear.

As for Chesney - wrong..... but you would.

hello elmo, not long for you now, are you all sorted, the nesting instinct really does kick in doesnt it!

Hey loumac, crikey cant believe you're going back to work, im not til sept next year but I'm on SMP so doesnt make any difference when i start and stop plus the not sleeping and tiredness was knocking me out in july let along 2 months on in september.

Well so far I have gone through my toiletries and this time I have been ruthless. the stuff that I kept last time I decluttered, that I thought I might use and havent, I have now chucked out!! Am one bin bag down already!!!! yaaaay, I have the cheesiet radio station on and it is playing 80's classics!!! Not really my preferred listening material but it is ace to clean to, really upbeat. Think I'm going to have to stop and have a cuppa and a ginger nut (or 4!!) me and baby are hungry

and yes Loumac I know the whole chesney thing is sooo wrong on so many levels..... but he still looks so scrummy, I saw him on tv a while back, in a suit mmmm mmmm..... anyway enough of that

loumac

Sounds like a good start to your day and your decluttering!

I've managed to walk the dog, put some washing on, put the ironing away and do yesterdays washing up. Already sitting down and eating a banana for energy.

I'm going back to work for 12 days and then I'll finish work 2 and half weeks before my due date. As a teacher if I didn't go back they'd have started taking my maternity pay now and as I'm off for the holidays anyway it seemed a bit pointless. I won't have my own class but will be doing cover teaching so hopefully won't be so bad!

Enjoy your 80's classics and your biccies! Have a good day. x

missymoo81

Morning all

Looks like you've a busy morning so far already! I love a bit of cheesy 80's music you cant beat it!!!!!

So far today I have been to buy DS new school shoes, been to lidl for mince meat and dried herbs, I bought a tear and share garlic bread to go with spag bol which needs using tomorrow but forgot the mince meat to make the spag bol doh! DS ended up with a dvd and OH ended up with goodies too lol cant take them nowhere!

I've put dishwasher on, done washing up, wiped round kitchen and OH has hoovered stairs and landing we are watching grand prix and I've been sent a free £10 bet from sky bet so currently watching result for aston villa v wolves hoping for 0-0 result cause i'll win £160! I dont usually gamble as a rule (except bingo) but its free so what the hell.

So my mini list for today is:

pack a bit more of hospital bag
do a bit of ironing
hoover downstairs

Might add to it later depends how I feel

xx

missymoo81

oooh isnt everyone doing well with everything today. I've done most things on my list and then some, although the ruthlessness seems to have stopped as I have ended up taking a couple of things out of the ebay bag as they might be good for wearing once baby is born... will see.

missymoo81

ok so have 2 bin bags for charity shop and 1 for ebay along with some shoes/boots. you know when you get to that stage where the mess gets worse before it gets better? I'm at that stage, t'is a little disheartening *sigh* might be time for a drink and chill for a bit to build up some more enthusiasm!!!!
