    Morning Steppers!

    Good start to the day. 2 new calves in the night and DH exhausted looking but happy!

    AND it's the first day of Cheltenham! I know it's not money saving but I'm going to allocate myself a little budget for the week for a few wee flutters!! And hopefully they won't all be 3 legged donkeys! Betting on Cheltenham is obligatory in Ireland!;) Have the laptop in work with me to bet online at lunch as work block all the racing & bookmakers sites! Spoilsports! :p

    My list for the day (including some rollies):

    - Check bank and transfer pennies Done :D
    - polls, surveys and cashback site Done :D
    - read the papers online & look for a few tips for Cheltenham! Done :D
    - Print off stuff for DD1's art course Done :D
    - Put on a few little bets at lunchtime :mad: mobile broadband stick not in lappy bag!! Will murder whoever has it when I get home! So only pretend betting today and I bet they all come in !!
    - Get to atm for cash for DD1 for 2 moro Done :D
    - Write and post Mother's Day cards Done :D
    - One off the "dreaded" work list Done :D
    - Tidy desk - it's a tip again :(
    - Iron 5 things!! :(
    - Empty washer, and load up again :(

    And not forgetting that I have jobs to blast through too!! Tonight could be a good night to start them!

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Hello you lovely lot :D hows everyone doing today then?

    I've been struggling today a bit, have been in quite a lot of pain with my stomach again :( cramps are back and even making my legs sore :o. Also had an HRT appointment and then had to go for a blood test.

    In the midst of all that OH had court thing today and it looks like he will be getting his house repossessed :eek::eek: he is gutted as he grew up with his Gran in that house :( the final decision will be made next month sometime when he has to go back to court.

    Not sure what can be done, if anything - will need to do a bit of reading up and hopefully find a way to sort it out.

    Anyway, despite the rotten day i have managed to fit in some positives :)

    I went to sewing class and should have my first attempt at patchwork finished soon - Got the main bit finished so just a lining bit and edging to do :)

    I packed up and posted my ebay sales. :)

    I made an appointment with doc as whole HRT thing needs a review in my opinion. :)

    Am having a lie down now with 2 hot packs and my dragon hot water bottle :rotfl: :D and might even have a sleep.

    Might manage a bit more pottering on puter so will see if i can do any wee online earny type things before going to bed for the night :p

    Maybe mojo will be back tomorrow :D xxxx

    No proper list from me today - boiler packed up yesterday and spent most of today trying to get a plumber out today. No hot water is so grim!! If he turns up that will be a positive, and if he manages to fix it that will be another huge one!!

    Also have a UTI, which I guess makes a change from Xan having one :rotfl:. Have to laugh or I'll cry!!

    Will just be carrying on with the Ebay blasting through - need to make enough to cover whatever this fix is going to cost! I wonder if he'll take amazon e-vouchers....
