Well Yesterday managed to sort through a whole load of paperwork which was stuffed into a cupboard for christmas, filed what needed to be filed and threw away the rest - only the wind has now blown my bin over so OH is out trying to get it all back in the bin!!!

Cleared out my tall chest of drawers in my bedroom just got convince my OH to do his.

Ironing getting done today - really making an effort to keep on top of this. Only one load of washing to be done today - a good feeling knowing I don't have loads to do:rotfl:

Made a list of what was in my kitchen cupboards, fridge and freezer and I have worked out a meal plan up, just got to type this up today and stick it to the kitchen board in order that my OH follows it. This should keep us going until 21 January with only fruit, veg, milk and bread to purchased each week.

I still have a few days off before I start back work so I hoping to have cleared out a few things before I start back.

I also managed to clear my phone and send it off to mamazu so looking forward to seeing the money go into my account and I also cancelled a few direct debits for things that was no longer required.

I am also clearing out my email every morning and I have unsubscribed to a lot of emails I get it, this should hopefully keep the amount coming in as I don't want to get to over 4000 to clear out again.

Well better get started as the ironing won't do itself:T

That's the list I did yday for today and in red what's been done, not doing too bad, LO is now sleep having his nap which is a nice break for me, going to sit down with a cuppa have a wee and I only mean a wee play on here before back to tasks in hand.

OH left me the car today got a lift to work so I popped into Tesco for few items, picked up a box in there for toys, also brought few reduced stuff so won't need bread or crumpets for bit. Also got a nice half price gammon joint for the freezer and some oven cleaner I will have a nice clean oven again, mine smokes when you open it cos food on bottom YUCK

I shall have to pop out just before 5 to pick OH up from work but till then it's go go go

I have also told myself I will start back up my £ coin money box, I managed to get just over £100 in there just before LOs b'day in aug which was a godsend at the time and all used for his party/stuff then. I will see how I go with it, with the promise to myself not to just dip into it for £ here and there for baby groups.

We are all doing such a great job, what lovely homes we will have in no time with the knowledge that we made it like that

Blowing my own trumpet here, but it's just turned 1pm and I've finished 'work' for today. :dance:
Took DD to school amid howling winds that took your breathe away. Stupidly I hadn't thought to approach her classroom from the opposite side where houses are and went into the playground that adjoins fields. :doh: Came back had brekkie, washed pots, prepared tonights tea and started on DDs bedroom. It is going to take at least another day and she has the smallest room! _pale_ Maybe it's cos it's 1st day but I found it so much better that I was working to a dead-line and stopping at that point. I didn't get the 'losing the will to live' that I normally get when sorting out her room.

And as proof that de-cluttering, organising, tidying is 'moneysaving'. Within the 1st 5 mins in the 1st toy box I discovered DS's bus pass that has been missing for weeks. Fortunately cos he's only 11 bus drivers haven't demanded full fare or we'd have had to pay for a new one. I was expecting it to turn up in DS's room but not DD's. :huh:

Mum2tomonkeys - either give yourself today off or do flexi-time, staggered hours, do an hour or so today and add the extra time on 1 day this week.

Going to have lunch now and try and call on nan. See you all tomorrow. :hello:

I had to change my toy box building to another task as OH has moved the toy box box to another place and I can't find it, think it might be in LOs room as looked everywhere else, not very helpful but hey

So I did another task, now have a nice new CLEAN shower curtain up and I've taken down all the xmas decs, living room looks loads bigger now.

I'm now sat with a cuppa, LO should be awake soon so shall enjoy some peace and delete some emails I have over 3000 in my inbox and no one needs that many

Ebay task of my list shall be done tonight when items sell better more people can bid then during day

Quick one from me as I'm meant to be doing dinner!

Tree down and in the garden awaiting chopping up.
Tree decs packed away and in the cellar.
On top of washing (which is all I'm fussed about really)

I've had a quick skim through and you all seem to be doing really well.

I'll try and get on later for a proper catch up. Thanks nuttytart for another download. More time I'll never get back!
