    Well I don't know what to say , house was remarkably tidy ..... Either , they have developed a sudden urge to muck in or ..... They didn't get up till after lunch so haven't had time to trash the joint !!!! I know which my money is on :)
    Work was alright - just keep telling myself it's work that puts the £££ in the bank !
    Found £2 under my seat in car so I have done quite well today really.
    There must be something wrong with me - I nearly decided to do some ironing. Fear not though - I came to my senses and am going to watch tv instead :)
    Need to sort out phone dd & read that Debtline paperwork !

    Hi Coco. I have been reading your thread since you started it and you have really inspired me. I think you are doing so well so keep up the good work!! Glad you came to your senses with your ironing (is there a more mind numbing boring job in the world??) xxx

  • Well done, Coco. I iron nothing. And I mean nothing. Not a thing. The last time I ironed something was a shirt for a funeral 4 years ago. I couldn't even tell you where the iron was. I assume we still have one... :D
    There are always so many more things to do. And no-one has ever noticed :)

    **looks nervous** Hello, my name is barbed and I am an ironer.:rotfl::rotfl:
    Sorry guys, I am trying to cut back, honest! But I look ay those eBay photos of crumpled clothes and think, ooh you could get loads more if you just got the iron out!
    Coco, I listed my first few things on eBay a few weeks ago and now I'm addicted! It's so easy! Spent yesterday sorting out [STRIKE]carp[/STRIKE], stuff for carbooting. Found the leggings I have searched high and low for along the way. They've been MIA for over a year!!
    Have you looked at the grocery challenge yet? It's a great thread and there are loads of recipes on page 1, tried lots and they've all been good.
    Have a fab night out on Friday :beer:
