    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    Well I've done the hoovering and was about to do the dusting when OH rang to tell me that the car repair bill will be £200+ :eek: Snapped coil thingy :confused: He then asked me for the credit card PIN when I had a :idea: He has a £500 overdraft and I have £100 in savings ;) which will cost us LESS in the long run than putting the repairs onto the credit card. :D We're nearly there with paying off his overdraft so I'm not too worried. Told him to book it in for a service as well when he's off in half term. Okay so it will cost more money, but it's better than nothing...will have to find something cheap/free to do on the day that he is off and here though as Chester Zoo will have to wait until we have more money :( Might even brave suggesting that he leave going to visit his friend down south to save the money, he can go later in the year when the weather is better and he'll have the spare money.... won't go down well but I can but try :confused:

    I've put a load of washing out on the line but have a funny feeling I'll be doing a mad rush soon to bring it in. It's getting dark here with rain clouds :mad: Right, next job, dust/cobweb hall area then dishes & kitchen. Then I HAVE to sit down and do ebay things so we can make up some of the £200 car repair bill banghead.gif

    Thanks pigpen that brought a lump to my throat, what a lovely story.

    Well, kinda had a snooze but then council came and spoilt it :D got my ceiling/wire thingies boxed in though, my kitchen is really starting to look like someone cares now.

    Had a burst of energy and scrubbed the bathroom that I've been putting off for weeks days and although it's still horrible, at least it's clean. Just gonna dash off to OH's now for that gym session, hurrah - NOT! *flexes muscles ala Popeye* catch ya laters flyer-ladies xx

    Well have cleaned lounge bay window, door and woodwork (under guttering). Waiting for 2nd freecycle item to be collected today and someone has just email me about another I listed today (the stuff people will take:confused: , still ones mans rubbish another mans gold) Least its save landfill:j .

    Girls playing in back garden, trying to coax them in to make chocolate biscuits (recipe from here - best in the world) but they dont seem interested - still maybe the fresh air will knock DD1 out tonight;) .

    I have just sold tweenies wellies on ebay so pleased about that, only £1.50 but every little helps (pays for fee's for other items listed:D )

    Off for more caffine - starting to buzz now, maybe I will get the carpets cleaned this afternoon after all :rotfl:

    Thanks for that story pigpen, I really needed cheering up as we've just found out we'll probably have to have out cat put down tomorrow. I know it's a little thing but i'm gutted. I was going to wallow in self pity in between hugging him but now i'm going to let the tears flow but do one little job at a time. Also picked up the letter for my son's appointment with the consultant tomorrow and it's looking like he'll need surgery. Think i'll just let myself feel down and pick myself up tomorrow. Sorry to be so miserable.

    Hello gorgeous Flybabes! :wave:

    Crikey! You guys have been busy and are doing great. I thought my email had broken when I stopped receiving the Flylady thread but you've gone and created a new one and are so busy it's over 200 posts already :T

    I've finally had a few days not feeling sick and tired 24/7 and have had my first 'normal' days since Xmas. Thank goodness I did Flylady last year. My house isn't as clean as I'd like but every room takes 15 mins or less to tidy so while I'm battling morning sickness the house hasn't completely gone to the dogs.

    Have actually done some dailies today but may not have time/energy for Moggins list yet.

    Have done following dailies:
    Made all beds
    1 load DW
    1 load WM
    1 load TD
    1 load iron
    post
    calendar check
    what's for dinner?

    plus:
    empty bins
    bins out
    sent 5 greeting cards
    started school application

    Should also try to tidy playroom.

    Keep up the good work.
    Punky x

    ((((((((((((((((((LDJ1))))))))))))))))) Don't be ashamed of crying hun. I've cried like a baby every time I've had to do that. More times than I would like to remember unfortunately. The first time I had to take a taxi to the vets, hoping against hope that I would bring her home again. I was crying so hard when I came out that the same taxi driver spotted me and took me home again for nothing.
