    Where does time go. Saturday almost half way through and the list grows longer:

    Sort conservatory - a recurring theme:(
    Type lists of To Do's - why is this not happening?
    Menu planner - already off message
    Shift money - a recurring theme:(
    Washing
    VTTB
    Remind DD2 that her friends will be going home after lunch - why did I agree to a sleep over on a Friday straight from school at the end of the first week back :huh:
    Remind DD1 she has some data collection to do for dissertation before return to university which means I will be helping
    Do accounts for local charity I am treasurer of
    Plan for work next week
    Find some time for me :o

    Just realised its Rugby World Cup. Oh well will probably reaquaint with OH in about 6 weeks then. Big match tomorrow - have a feeling they will be thrashed. Then we will have to watch the highlights of the highlights in both languages just incase the score was wrong:rotfl::rotfl:

    Hi Igamogam

    Just wanted to say well done on all your efforts so far. It's a long slow business, this debt busting, but being on here is definitely a help. Keep updating your diary...I'm enjoying it loads!

    Also just read your last post on my thread and wanted to say thanks for not making assumptions. It's greatly appreciated.

    I'll be dropping in more often. May bring some biccies if you stick the kettle on. :coffee: :)

    AFx
    If you know you have enough, you're rich. ;)

    Biccies anytime Ani*fan - be warned I am a dunker though :)

    Well up at crack of sparrow f*rt this morning weighing in at 14st 10 still - no move but thats fine the ELMM diet( eat less move more) will kick in soon.Certainly eaten less this week as been back at work and once DD2 after school stuff starts next week I will be in the pool 3/4 times a week and back to yoga towards end of month :)

    Only up early to take DD2 to swim lesson - not to weigh myself btw. Theory is that if she goes to early session then we have rest of Sunday as a family day - stress theory. OH is now down at rugby club no doubt watching them being thrashed by the springboks - so that will mean a blow by blow account when he gets back - :o

    Havent done much debt busting so far this weekend - too busy doing other things not on my list,mopping tears up for dissertation stressed DD1 and generally wasting time.

    Toilet rolls do not, as far as I know, change themselves – they need human intervention
    :rotfl::T

    when you manage to get through to the family this obviously complex thing that only mams know how to do.... could you pass me the secret... My lot have never understood the toilet roll does not change itself... I loved that...

    It often is a hard slog. You didnt' accrue the debt in a day, so it won't go in a day (sadly) either! But you know it will be worth it in the end. Maybe you just want to sort out 1 frog so that you can keep the lid on the other ones?

    I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?
