Ecoelle's MFW Diary

ecoelle

Thanks moneycurious, i am very excited.

Haven't done a huge amount today, been busy with little one, and also on the phone to a friend who is unwell at the moment.

Done a quick clean in the kitchen, need to swish the bathroom and run the hoover round, did empty all the bins though before the bin lorry came round and cleaned the extractor fan cover, it was awful, not entirely sure i'm happy with it but it will have to do.

Today i think i would like to get into the garden if i can, my mum is popping round later so she might help me out. Got the most awful headache today, think i need some pills and some fresh air:)

To do

Swish bathroom

HHGardening changed mind as too cold, so cleaned the glass of the cooker hood instead:)

Ok, so done most of teh jobs for today and also did the utensil drawer, took everything out, cleaned, relined with new spongy lattice stuff and then put back only the stuff i know i use, a few knives had had it and a couple of other bits i know i never use, like the ice cube tray which looks lovely til you try to actually remove ice cubes and tehn become like a challenge from the krypton factor have been relegated to the black bin of doom!

Having a friend over now with her little one for a coffee and play date so think i'm probably done for the day on the flylady front, but may pop on later for a few surveys.

Right, OP for March made yesterday of £25, made up of Halifax £5 payments plus a bit from surveys, got some money to come from TCB so when it arrives it will start the pot off again. Also did the usual OP of £125 so £150 so far this month.

Decided to go for it with Temple Spa, so i am now officially a 'temple spa consultant' woo hoo!, so if anyone wants to buy an of their stuff and doesn't have a consultant near them who they know feel free to PM me and i'll sign you up with me:) cheeky much!

Evening all, well what a day it's been here int he ecoelle household, all mortgage OP plans are on hold as of 9pm last night when we got a phonecall telling hubby not to go into work today, now he's been told that he has to go in tomorrow to meet with the administrators who will 'answer any questions he has' think this is code for 'take your store keys off you and send you right back home again' oh well, he's been made redundant before and we coped so guess we'll do it again. Just when i thought we were getting somewhere:(
