Glad to have you along. That's a full day you've got planned there, well done! Sorry to hear that you have to go to a funeral, hope the day is bearable for you.

SB is a site called Swagbucks - you can't make a lot of cash on there, but a little extra - I make about £3 every 7 days or so but other people make more. PM me if you want to know more and I'll tell you all about it.

Thank you so very much for telling me about SB - at the mo I'm not going to do it but you never know!

Thanks also for the lovely pm offer- I have been made so welcome on this forum :T Are there many that post on 10 psadc?

I didn't make the 10 yesterday, way too ambitious :rotfl:BUT without the list I wouldn't have done as many as I did.

5 is more realistic but by putting down 10 it gives you more choice.






So here is my 10 for today

1. Write a letter to the council
2. Pack away items bought in the sales for next Christmas Done
3. Pack away items bought in the sales for Easter Done
4. Pack away items bought in the sales for Birthdays Done
5. List 3 ebay items Done
6. Take re-cycling to centre
7. Wash car Done
8. Pack car for funeral
9. Sort through some of DD3's books Done
10. Bring Filofax up to date

Wish me luck :dance:
:D:D:D:D:D 6 smilies today :j

That's some good organisation you've got there - love that you are rockin' a Filofax, that's a nice 80s retro look! Are they still as expensive as they used to be? I might get one!

My five for yesterday:

- worked, even though a couple of emails caused me to do this: :wall:
- Packaged up parcels for Ebay
- Got a good few hours sleep (my insomnia has been bad recently)
- Made a PAD
- NSD

It's quiet on here at the moment, but the last couple of threads were a little busier, so it may well pick up.

Yes Filofax are alive and well and selling by me on ebay

I'd like to join please - this is a good idea I think - I need help to keep focused because even though I have been a member of this site a long time I never know which challenges to join, where to start or how to keep motivated so......
For tomorrow:

- Pack away Xmas decs and put in attic (they are down but currently lounging around my bedroom cluttering up the walkway)
- Clear tree/bushes in garden (pulled down last week but only got bags big enough to cart them away today)
- Make a Sunday dinner of sorts - prob only amount to pie, potatoes, veg, gravy (usually go to inlaws but they are having a well deserved week off)
- Check Amazon and ebay sales and print out packaging slips etc (rather than leave til 10 mins before posting thus stressing myself out)
- Have an hour playing with the kids - playdough, reading, board games etc.

Think that should be enough! Had a major clutterbust day today so already exhausted - boys bedrooms so much tidier though and I am getting a nice little bootsale pile - but as I am a hoarder by nature the bootsale plan is - look in garage and attic for things, take to bootsale and sell what I can but only bring half back so box up at end of bootsale half for resale half for charity - that way I am still clearing out clutter but not giving all away and making no money

Well I made 6 out of 10 yesterday so I'm well pleased.

2. Write & post 2 thank you cards
3. Geocache :dance: Done
4. Discuss Ebay business Done
5. Discuss money saving
6. Ring Santander :mad:

Good luck to everyone else :T

Hi everyone :wave:- may I join in please. Since New Year I have done one EXTRA thing a day to try and help me declutter and have a rule that when I come in from work I am not allowed to sit down until that one thing has been done!! It has helped as since new year I have, taken down decs, put up in loft, cleared out bathroom cabinet, cleared out medicine cabinet (good some of those meds went back to 2002!), cleared garage, went down to dump, cleaned van, restock van, did VAT return and sent off, did business banking, sent out receipts - so today my challenges are:

1) Clear out messy drawer
2) Clear out knife drawer
3) Clear out plastics cupboard
3) Do washing
4) Do drying (sorry td will have to go on today)
5) Go down dump
6) Look for Tesco CC deals as have about £400 worth and can't find them:eek: so pulling out cupboards where I think I might have put them safe - fingers crossed
7) Finish off chicken soup and put into freezer
8) Clear out shoe cupboard

Think that'll be me done for today - and even if I only get through half of those I'll be pleased

Happy Sunday everyone

MunniMuncha

My I have had a productive couple of hours - have done 5 of the 8 so far and washing and drying is under way - chicken soup cooked, just need to finish it off. Don't think I'll bother with dump today as it means going out in car and use petrol unnecessarily.
