MG - The Matrix Re-wired

groatie_queen

*Turns heating back down to frugal setting*

Viewer liked the house but hers is not on the market yet, so her interest may not lead anywhere very quickly if at all. Never mind, Sunday's viewer may be in a better position, and in the meantime I'll enjoy the unaccustomed glow of being a perfect housewife for as long as it lasts!

MG glad your smile is back to normal and you can enjoy the effects of a de-clutter.

Meeting friend off a train this evening and the garage blitz happens tomorrow. Shed will be emptied (into the space created in the garage) and then offered on Freegle for firewood. Another wee bit of progress. :j:j

Sounds like you are doing really well GQ. It is such a good idea to take the time to declutter before you move. I thought I had done a lot but by the time we moved we seemed to have so much stuff, and we had only lived there for four years. I seemed to have as much stuff as Id di when I moved from the previous property and I had lived there for 26 years and had given away a lot of items on freecycle because we were downsizing.

I have picked my daughter up from the hospital after her first week, and you can certainly tell she is home. The cleaners had been whilst I was picking her up so for about two minutes the place looked lovely and now her luggage is all over the place as well as her opened mail. There is no point putting eveything away as she will only need to pack it all again on Sunday morning, but it means my lovely tidy bungalow is no more *sigh*

Movie night with popcorn chez nous - cars 2 from santa - then stitching night once smallbies are snoring.

good luck with the shred MG - is on my wishlist once have had a payday!

Good news is that we have managed to stay on budget since dh started leaving cash card at home, have still got a bit of money left in bank to last till next Friday (payday) and so we are technically £450 up since we were £450 overdrawn iyswim. Dh is amazed, and has only made 1 ebay purchase of a mahoosive 79p since our chat about money. Long may his lbm continue.

I have never even got past level one, heaven only knows how hard level 3 is :eek:

I am sticking to Zumba for time being. I've done at least half an hour of it 4 times so far this week. This in itself is a miracle. I just love it

Morning ladies - up, showered, dressed, bed made, lunch packed, sink shined and shopping list written - off to L**L when it opens at 8 then back home a peaceful and productive morning.

Must take a bin-bag through DS2's room before he gets back from his Grans though

Up and at 'em

Isn't being up enough . Oh, and drinking tea

A few hours without my boys - want to make the best of it:D

Shopping for week done - £16 :j:j and that included some smoked fish, feta and parmesan. So I got a few pounds for F&V later in the week.

Will have to buy petrol this week :eek: But I haven't bought any since Christmas eve so its not too bad.

Off to brew up a pot of tea to enjoy now my "Mummy stuff" has been done

I am back home. Boy was I tired last night!! Some food, hot bath and solid 12 hours sleep have revived me to feel more like myself today. Need to dash now as I need to go and vote (and also help with the cafe in the voting place).

I have computer problems. PC is dead, this old laptop is so slow it makes me potty and I need to return my loan laptop from work on Monday. But I will try to pop in here every now and again. So I should have time to sort through my boxes then :eek: (famous last words.... :rotfl:)

Good morning all

Quiet day planned today - marking projects and generally pootling about

MG - I haven't been able to access MFI3 for the last few days - wanted to checkout some soup recipes. Will they be back soon?
