I didn't get measured for underwear today, I just couldn't be bothered. But I did mop my bedroom floor, then polish it, then discover it was still a bit dirty. I then decided to get on my hands and knees and scrub the floor, and polish it again.HSBC Credit Card £608.69, HSBC Overdraft: £4123.67, HSBC Loan: £8,270.69

AGHHH!!!!Just found myself watching JK again, this is were I started, right up and about going to get this house nice and clean, then off to the gym!!

Well, I've had a lovely surprise from DH! He's applied for an allotment for me! I'm so excited. Our council website said that there are some plots free so hopefully I won't have much of a wait (zero patience here)! We have some at the end of our street which would be just perfect. Anyhoo, it will make sure that I'm very very productive when I get it.
Meantime I'll will be doing an hours ironing this evening.
Have a lovely day folks!

I finally felt better enough to go to the gym, so spent 60 minutes working out. I like getting value for money and hate not using the gym, even though I only pay £14.99 a month.
I may or may not go and get measured now. Probably need to eat first though.HSBC Credit Card £608.69, HSBC Overdraft: £4123.67, HSBC Loan: £8,270.69

Hi All,
Bit of a rubbish time for me as having 2nd miscarriage. But...
We have managed to redecorate the bathroom, after having a few days off work on leave. Much better place to be now, as spending a great deal of time in there and hated looking at yuck decor!!
I've caught up on all housework and washing (taken a new stance on ironing, only ironing absolutely essential items e.g. work shirts.) Should have been putting my feet up but no point in moping about.
Started clearing garden. Cleaned the vacuum cleaners (took apart and cleaned all filters etc.) ready for Spring clean, they actually pick up dirt now. We have two because we owned them before we met. I use the small one upstairs.:rotfl:
60 mins on slight hold as new puppy needs house training so have 2 weeks to take puppy outside every hour until have matrix of puppy elimination schedulebut can do 60 mins once hubby home.
Spring Cleaning to start now, decided to start from bottom up as most urgent room is kitchen. So tonight aiming to clean bathroom and sort washing (normal routine) then Spring clean pantry (may take a couple of slots of 60 mins!).
Hope everyone else is doing well. :beer:

So sorry to hear that bobble_hat
Hugs!!
I am popping by to say hello again, lost the motivation for the last half of March and all my challenges suffered.
I am back now though. I have a horrible feeling that this is going to be my pattern for a while yet. I do so well, and then it all goes to pot for a while. So annoying!
I managed 60 minutes of getting my budget slightly back on track, although I will need to finish it off as part of my 60 minutes tomorrow.
I also planted out some plants that I have been meaning to do for a while.
Also made a big roast dinner and portioned it off to freeze for this months lunches for when I am in the office.
Hopefully I shall be around a little more often now!0 -
sorry to hear your news bobble_hat.
well i have been inspired....front garden completed.
So i am now making lists of jobs that need doing and will start to tackle them, weather permitting......rumours of snow????

Need to wash the hall walls down cos of sticky fingers!
