    Yay go lamarsi!!

    I don't really understand the ppi thing. I wouldn't know if I have ever had it to claim back.

    I had a whole busy day planned today: gardening, cleaning the car, bathing the dog etc but it is just so cold outside I don't know if I want to!

    Was thinking of bathing the dog inside instead but I know that will just destroy my bathroom!

    LOL Thanks everyone.Welcome to the newbies

    katy721 Glad to hear it's not just me that has 'off' days. I've not managed to do 60 mins everyday. Think I burnt out after the 'super' day.:rotfl:

    Well done on the ppi and loan payment lamarsi

    Friday we were at Gadget show live and managed to buy some Gadgetry which is going to save us money :j We've bought an extending loft ladder for £160 (show price) with extensions and delivery. We were getting quotes to have someone come in and put a ladder in and board the loft, but with the new ladder hubby reckons he can do it with my help, so that will save us a few hundred pounds. Yay!

    Saturday, had quiet family day, took the dog 'walking' in the great outdoors, I say 'walking' because we were aiming for her 15mins but most of it was spent with her sitting or lying down. Anyone had trouble getting a puppy to walk? We thought it may be traffic here, but that didn't bother her a couple of weeks ago and we were walking in the quiet countryside on Sat. Forums seem to suggest she's testing her boundaries for pack leader position.

    Sunday we got DDs seeds all potted up and I made a start on the panty, did at least an hour, got the floor cleared and cleaned and lots of car boot booty sorted (pantry is another room things get dumped in out of sight, out of mind).

    Last night, spent an hour outside in the bitter cold trying to persuade puppy to walk in for 15mins! Gave up in the end and carried her home. Very embarrassing standing outside people's houses in a battle of wills with puppy. Annoying thing is when it's in the direction she wants to go she doesn't stop pulling :mad: Did get some washing on and hung, then fell asleep on the sofa!

    Very tired today, so going to treat myself to an early night.

    After Mr Bobble_hat's top-tips yesterday managed to get the puppy round the block in 15mins Yay:j Had lovely hot chilli waiting for me when I got home, went to bed almost straight after eating dinner. So no 60 mins for me yesterday.

    Mr B away for the night for work tonight, so my aim is to get all of the washing sorted and away and get at least one room cleaned from top to bottom. Fingers crossed.

    :o Did not do my 60mins last night :o

    After a bit of a rubbish day I spent over and hour on the phone to a very dear friend, and it seems it cheered us both up, so I count that as time well spent. :D

    Doing the washing (and MSE :o) in between work today.
