no_choice_now

Good avo DNMS and all the lovely people (yes that means you too!) x

I had a lie-in today because I've been going to bed very late and getting up very early the whole week I thought I could do with a few hours to sleep in, read and pet the cats. Keeps me sane

My mission for today:

• [STRIKE]Make a casserole from soon use-by ingredients already in house[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Walk not drive to local shop, see if there's any reduced goodies later today[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Deep clean of bedroom and spare room, put up thicker winter curtains[/STRIKE] Half done, will do rest this week
• [STRIKE]Replacing 08* numbers in my phonebook with alternatives from saynoto0870.com[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Possibly: defrost freezer for greater efficiency[/STRIKE] Too warm, will try again in a week
• [STRIKE]Not spend any money today (except on any well discounted food as above)[/STRIKE] Didn't spent a penny :j
• List 3 things on eBay I didn't do yesterday Fail

Wish I managed to get more done this weekend but never mind. I have such a busy week coming up I don't know how I'm going to cope. But it will be a GOOD week, that I am determined for! :money:

Morning everyone

Today I will:

• 4 loads of washing- out to line dry, been raining for days at least it's dry just now
• check banking/emails etc
• dinner and lunch from stores
• take my mum shopping
• add totals to GC-did a shop at Mr S lat night
• sort out budgets- spent loads in town yesyerday but had a lovely day
• dye my hair later and get DD1 to give me a trim- cheaper than going to hairdressers.

Think that's about it for today off to try and phone DS came in at 3 this morning clattering about- he says just in to get some beers off to my mates but don't worry I'll make my work at ten :eek: I know he's an adult but I still worry.

However, I remember doing it all myself and thinking my mum was just a moan now when I talk to my kids I feel like I'm just repeating what my mum said to me.

Oh no I think I'm turning into my mother :rotfl:

Have a good day everyone.

Morning all!
Had a mucky yukky morning so far taking wet and dirty old laminate, wood and underlay to the tip - got a telling off from the supervisor there for putting some things in the wrong place too, then he relented and felt sorry for me and helped - I must have looked pathetic!
Then I had to take the car to the carwash to vacuum the whole inside - it was a real mess and didn't want to risk ruining my own hoover;)
Have also taken the dog to the park for a run out before it rains again - sky has gone all dark and uninviting again:mad:



Also to do today....

• All food from stores (sweet potato curry for tea) Done
• Walk dog again Done twice more
• Do about 2 hours of school work - did ok yesterday and felt quite productive so trying to keep up the momentum Done
• Have a good wash - am very mucky! Look like a tramp! Done!
• Maybe pop to Mr T for some hair dye to do my roots (again!) tomorrow
• Put dry washing away and do another load Done
• Phone mum using free landline Done
• Fill two holes and repaint (didn't get round to this yesterday) tomorrow
• Check banks - payday tomorrow:jDone
• Watch The Kings Speech later before sending Lovefilm DVDs back - got my 2 free cinema tickets for signing up for a free trial yesterday Done, its very good

That's all for today - hope everyone has a good day.
