my superstar hubbie tackled our spare room /dumping ground. he condensed dvd/videos onto one bookcase and put the other back in loft. he cleared out cupboard in spare room and decided if it was for ebay / carboot or junk. he then took door off cupboard and has changed it to hold our tumble dryer & laundry baskets etc. i hoovered the room and we have decided to utilise it as a gym room, with equipment we already own but had not used since we moved here as had nowhere to put it.


i decided to use 3 small wicker tubs for hair accessories :hair jewellery; clips & claws; bobbles. i threw out any broken stuff and sorted some xmas presents. i also added stuff to our gift box by recycling some unwanted xmas pressies to use for this years pressies.

we have sorted stuff to list on ebay's 10p listing day on thursday

he has phoned to get gas and electric meters installed so that should save us money and we ordered our new tumble dryer as our old one isn't efficient any more. mil paid for new tumbledryer for our xmas.

between us there is 10 bags of rubbish / clutter for the dump yeah!

Love and hugs to Ladygrim sounds like you are having a rough day or 2.

Then on to stargate!! .. woohoo... is it just me or is Daniel Jackson worth one??

Thanks Sammy115, LJD1, Moggins, Serena and Pigpen - all hugs greatfully received.

Have finished chili and am now about to do some irish stew - all to go into freezer. I love the slow cooker - truly one-pot cooking!!!

Hey Pigpen.

I prefer Jack Oneil - but then I did like Richard Dean Anderson as Mcguyver! (he has better hair now though). Or maybe its just because hes in uniform?

Did you know that Lexa Doig who plays the avatar in Andromeda is Michael Shanks (Daniel Jacksons) real life wife? I think theyve got 3 kids.

Was feeling really proud of myself last night - kitchen worktops are gleaming, I cooked a really nice meal, hoovered the sofa and living room, emptied the washing basket again (washed and put away), and told my OH to look at everything I had done. I got a feeble well done, and when I told him that I'm not taking babysteps any more and that I've started to fly, he looked at me as if I had left the planet! lol I tried to explain to him what flylady is, but he just doesn't get it! Oh well, at least I can come on here and feel appreciated.
Well done to everyone who is starting to fly, and in case you have no-one to make you feel good about what you have done - "I'm proud of you!" Keep up all of the hard work. :T

No I didn't.. but I've no idea what you are on about, we don't have a tv so my viewing is strictly limited .. and his 3 with my 8 it'd be like a school outing!! lol

ETA.. research done.. what on earth does he see in her?? I am so much more pleasant. *grin*.. mind you looking at my hubby people probably say the same about me and him (he is the unpleasant one btw! heehee)

Best go feed the chimps they are getting louder!

moggins

Well done sexymouse. You get a huge well done from me :dance:

rach

i think i have a problem with paperwork

I HATE IT!!!

i'm sitting at my desk, i know i should file, it makes the whole office look a mess, but i can't make myself....anyone give me akick up the backside?

anyone have a good system that actually works???

pigpen

rach.. I bin everything!!! companies keep copies of every statement they send you so you don't NEED to keep them.. banks have every single transaction ever to occur on your account so you don't need to keep statements.. all other paper is junk mail and needs binning!!

I have insurance documents in one paper file thing and another file with the paperwork related to DS2's SEN .. all his IEP's, his reports from agencies etc and another one with hospital letters for appointments we have not yet attended.. in date order.. once we have been they are binned. the childrens birth certificates and those of myself and hubby, medical cards, marriage certificate are in a box upstairs.

I just looked to see what else I have.. and it is nothing!! everything is binned.

I have the 3 files on the desk inthe front room in need of a new home, I think they will end up upstairs once I have finished sorting it.

Works for us!
