Stop being so hard on yourself.....and smell the roses

o2bfree

Well where have I been this week.

Mostly working which brings the pennies in:)
I have bought some outfits for 2 Christmas do's but they are all going back today as they mostly make me look like the CHristmas Pud.
So money coming back today.
I'll make do with something in the wardrobe already.

Boxing Day must see the start of THE DIET

Must get up to date with the spreadsheet as I have been lacks-a-daisyicle (sp) and not been doing it so have no idea where I am at.
I know the bills are paid but the overpayments have fallen by the wayside as gift buying has taken over.
Still no more gifts to buy now :T

Jobs today:
Buy wrapping paper (as ran out last night)
Food shopping (and its a big one as ran out of everything and have whinging cats)
Take back unsuitable outfits
Beautify myself for a Christmas do tonight (this may take some time)
Get the tree and decs out ready to put up (Sunday job)
Wrap the rest of the presents
Tackle that spreadsheet

And all that on top of the usual weekend washing, ironing and tidying :eek:

Well I'm off to tackle the spreadsheet now.
Then dress and food shop.

Smell the roses moment this week - watching my DD's carol concert.

Not many roses moments this week..

I think Naps and food shopping will feature largely in my roses moments next week :j

If I can get the napping routine sorted that is :eek:...Sometime after 5pm would be good if I want to get a job at some point...Och and setting the alarm for the next day

This am I didn't get up till 8am :eek:...fortunately it was Sabbath so didn't matter..

Och and did I say I passed my word processing test this week ...so happy - onto spreadsheets soon (had better be. I have that test on the 12th)...

Thanks jwil.
I see you have a new diary too. I have been lurking

Well I seem to have abandoned yet another diary. I have not posted for 10 days

Well maybe that is because there is really not much to report MSEwise or Roseswise.

Money is ticking along - no massive overpayments but everything paid and up to date.
Roses moments - not many at the moment as too busy working before my long Christmas break and organising everything for the day the man dressed in red visits.

Going to organise my spreadsheets for the new year during my Christmas break and I'm going to do an ebay spreadsheet because 2012 is going to be the year of the great declutter.

Happy Hump Day!

jwil

I'm with you on the great declutter!

o2bfree

Well, here I am all sorted for the big day.
If I work this right I should have no need to visit any shops until New Year's Eve and then it will just be cat food and a few fresh bits.....my cupboards and freezer are bulging.

I am going to follow Lula-Hula's example and give Tesc& a wide berth this year.
Although I love the points I h&te the shop so I'm going to be a Sainsbugs girl in 2012.

I have a dream to go to Florida for Christmas next year so I am going to mull over a little plan of how I can achieve this and reduce my debt.
I think the great declutter may have a use in this plan.

Well I am going to wish you all a Merry Christmas :xmastree: and I'll see you on the other side

Erme

Och thanks o2b - had wondered where you got to?

I'm boycotting Mr T cos of religious and ethical reasons...So now I'm a Mr L and Mr M girl for the time being (probably till the ice goes and then I'll be back on the bike to Mr A & Mr Al. Why? It's quicker :j)


I'm still alive (don't know how)...My roses moment yesterday was like finishing off my tank top I'd started about a month ago :j

It's lovely

Many, many roses moments over the last 2 days.
Watching family open and appreciate their presents makes all the run up to the day worth it. My littlest GD got so excited by every little bit of the day-I want to see life through her eyes.

MSE-wise I had 2 NSD but today I have felt the need to get out and went to Sainsbugs and bought wrapping paper 59p a roll down from £1.99 and boxed cards 30 for 89p down from £2.99. All set for next year now, but I am going to put in my diary on the 1st Dec where I have put the cards and wrapping paper because I know I will forget.

Off for a relaxing bubbly bath now - roses all the way at the moment
