Phew! Just caught up with the reading.

pigpen, i really hope squeak has a swift recovery. It's so awful when they're poorly!

Natty, i hope you're okay after that horrid thread. (((hugs)))

Lady Liberty, good luck to you. x

JoJo, your DD sounds like me when i was a teen. I was such a gobsh1te, but my points were fair. I realised too young that adults aren't always right and told them too often. I am embarrassed now and must have caused no end of shame for my parents. My head of year however did tell me on leaving school that he did always admire the fact that i stuck up for myself.

I'll post my list tomorrow. Very tired now. Just going to hang the almost dry washing over the clothes horse and then go up the wooden hill.

Hugs & spoons to all in need. See you on the morrow!

Well done to all the Noobs - something and anything is better than nothing, but keep at it! You'll have days like I have today, but tomorrow is another day! Amara - well done on washing the bathroom.... I really need to do mine top to bottom, especially the roof - but I will get to it soon!

Tea decluttered.

Hallway looks very clear so I'm not putting the shoe rack back in there, its too cluttery.

Flying - have tidied the LR of toys and newly collected detrius, tidied a bit more of the kitchen and sorted out lunchbox for LO for tomorrow. In amongst all of this, I am working on my spreadsheet and have been on and off for days/weeks now... I am tearing my hair out! I am clearly missing something but I dont know what.

I seem to have more going out than Ive got coming in suddenly and I dont know that to be true. Ive just cleared an overdraft, so have freed up £80 a month from that and have transferred nasty CC's to interest free, reducing the minimum payments on those - even when over paying Im paying less than I was before, one catalogues last payment is this month too so that will also be gone freeing up another £25pm.. and am clearing my existing overdraft as I go - If I had more going out than coming in, surely that wouldnt be happening and I wouldnt be achieving this... Im missing something.

I give up for now... tomorrow

*Scratches head* You're washing your bathroom roof??:eek: OMG don't give Piggers ideas - she'll have us scrubbing the outside of the chimney next!:rotfl:
Btw, welcome Amara - don't think I've seen you here before?:o

pigpen

I think by roof she means ceiling.. and i need to do mine too it has bits of mouldyness on it which is quite unpleasant on the eye.

Squeak snoring.. and hasn't been up coughing or spewing .. she is waiting for me to go up and just get my eyes shut isn't she?

Oh, my....isn't it amazing what threads turn up when the stoopid splat decides to climb onto the laptop when you're looking for a completely different thing (in my case, a thread about a certain mysupermarket basket of goods where we could compare the prices)?

And I daren't say a word about the bathroom roof/ceiling, or I'll just get a 'can't you reach up there with your broomstick?'
