Hi everyone :kisses3:
Forgot to post yesterday :doh: But I did everything on Moggins list plus washed all the insides of the upstairs windows.
Todays list is underway,washing machine is doing it`s first load and I need to get through the ever growing wash pile. It just seems to never end
I really need to give the whole house a quick spruce up today as I`ve got a hot date tonight! :j
Right I`m off to get that breadmaker on the go.
Hope everyone has a fun day.Debt Free Date:10/09/2007 :j :money:0 -
Morning all. Not a good day here as I've just received our Powergen bill. £199.95 in DEBIT :eek:
£305 before discount & VAT :eek::eek::eek: Gas heaters have gone off in the bedrooms, extra blankets on the bed, all the lights are off and if it gets too dark I'm lighting a couple of candles on the desk instead of putting the light on :mad: I'm not a happy bunny. Thats nearly £100 more than with British Gas last year and don't get me started on the comparison to the pre-payment meters. :mad::mad:
On the plus side, our "recent calls" on BT are just £14.03 so with a Service charge of £28.07 for the quarter we should have a tiny bill February 25th so I might even be able to drop that payment a bit more :j

hello all! well we have just got back from quick walk to sainsburys - but i have also done a lot of my dailies. and started on moggins list for the day - have lots from last 2 days to catch up on but never mind not so gruelling today!!!
thought last bit said 'nightMARE routines' :eek: :eek: and spent about an hour wondering what they were and thought i would have to ask :rotfl: right off to clear kitchen floor in an attempt to wash it :eek:
Rach - day sounds perfect - enjoy today too :beer:
bye0 -
Must, must get on with the next coat of paint!
That, and the first coat on the radiator in DD's room is today's target.
On Moggins' list, I have already done one lot of washing,:D and the other two will be done after DS2 and DD are back from school, and I can do the uniforms. Hoovering the downstairs won't take long, as with all DD's stuff (now including her mattress, as the room was too paint smelly to sleep in last night!) in the sittingroom, there is barely any visible carpet anyway...:eek:
Meal plan runs from Wednesday to Tuesday, so I'll do that next week.
Right, if you see me on here before 4pm. I'm to be kicked off!:rotfl:
Have a good day everyone!
PS rach, that sounds like a brilliant day!It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be0 -

I've done two loads of washing (including one bed) and hung it around (raining again).
Prepared stuff to cook at lunchtime.
Vacuumed and dusted downstairs (and emptied vacuum and put in new bag).
Sorted right through accordion file with bills and paperwork and shredded out of date stuff.
Our gas bill came yesterday and we're £130 odd in credit, surely that can't be right at this time of year? I don't want them to pay any back yet in case they've forgotten something. Haven't got the electricity bill yet. They come from the same company but for some reason we get separate bills.0 -
good morning/afternoon to everyone
i am really trying today, but still not dressed. The wind is really bad here and I have had to go chase my wheelie bin around the street!!!!
I have the sc on for the stew for tea and I am now going to go and make a lasagna for tomow. I have loads of washing and ironing to do but dd is playing so I should be able to get that done today at some point. Also I have the beds to strip and wash and then the room to tidy once dd is in bed!!!! If she goes to bed tonite!!!
could do with about 20 hands at the mo so much to do!!!

Working my way through all the credit card statments since March 2002
Slowly getting there and then I have another 3 financial years of bank statements (pre 2000) to scan. I'll let OH do the shredding...he likes it :rotfl:
Other than that I've managed 2 loads of washing (towels & cleaning cloths...quick basic wash but used Stardrops & Zoflora instead of using the longest & hottest programmeNot got anything else done today...except keeping up with here :rotfl:

I quite like shredding paper but it usually gets jammed and I have to poke it out with a screwdriver. That's annoying!0
