Hi Everyone
I haven't had chance to read all the posts yet, as the system sometimes bombs me out.
Lil Me, we too have a filing cabinet like yours with extremely old paperwork in. I still have all my bank statements from 1995 :eek: You're braver than me, I still haven't plucked up the courage to go through the paperwork yet, it's a case of out of sight, out of mind, but it is all in its relevant folder :rotfl:
Well today, after my browse on MSE, I need to put the BM on again, do more washing and ironing, and then I need to decide what to cook for dinner, probably something easy like rice and curried mince.
Have a good afternoon everyone.

Hi, everyone!
Well I'm having a much better today (hallelujah!) despite not dragging myself out of bed until 9am:eek: . How I'm going to get the boys off to school tomorrow I do not know:p but I'm sure they'll get there somehow! Anyway, so far have: dressed to shoes, WM on twice and hung out, BM on, vacuumed through downstairs, emptied dishwasher, cleared kitchen surfaces and wiped all cupboards and appliances, written and posted 5 thank you letters, been to bank, dropped DS3 off at friend's and am about to prepare veggies for tonight's roast dinner before OH gets in (he's on early shifts at the mo). Quite pleased with myself - kitchen looks good with no smeary fingerprints all over the SS. Hope to get the paperwork in some kind of order before I go back to work on Monday - that'll be no mean feat:rotfl:
Edit: Anyone else having problems with this site at the moment? Very slow, and won't let me search new posts!
Michelle, sounds like you're doing fine to me, I often couldn't manage to get dressed till OH arrived home when mine were little! Hope you're feeling better soon.[0 -

God I`m knackered and I aint done much so far.I`ve only made 1/2 dozen bread buns,one load of washing done and hung out.Washed a few breakfast and lunch pots.Made endless cups of tea,a whole weeks worth.
Started my deep clean of my bathroom though,
washed toilet,basin,bath out.Cleaned the jaccuzzi jets and pipes.Washed all the tiles from top to bottom(whole bathroom is tiled)All I`ve got left to do it wash the skirting boards/door and wash the floor then I`m done in there.
At least I`m not at work tonight so I`ll be having an early night.
Better get cracking with the rest of the bathroom and sorting out the junk for the tip,before my bum goes numb and I have to be sat at the PC until bedtime!Debt Free Date:10/09/2007 :j :money:0 -
