    HHPaperwork - check your utility bills, if you are in credit at this time of year you may be able to get your DD reduced (I did). Start putting bits together for your tax return. Check travel insurance and passports are in date if you are going away (have a good trip Bossymoo). Are you opening an ISA this year?

    Still to do the ironing and paperwork but hopefully later.

    Hope everyone is well :D

    Congrats to Mumto5dance.gif

    Had an excellent day on fleabay - sold 6 items, an item that went missing (and the lovely buyer never put an INR in) came back, he's bought it again and covered my costs. Already posted 3 out and have to go and post 4 tomorrow but am well pleased! 2 were DDs so she'll be chuffed!

    woo hoo - congrats mumto5!!

    I decluttered the snug, S&S'd the loo, and did the DW/WM before work. Since I got home I have baked a cake, melted some steak, filled the recycling/green waste bins and ate some petit pois just for greenbee.

    Hex - tell DH next time he defrosts something in the oven to a. Put it in ovenproof packaging and b. Put a note on the oven :)

    Have done very little. Woke uo feeling grotty. Then Massage this morning hurt, and was followed by reflexology and I felt vile by the end of it. However, drugs, water and hot water bottles revived me, but haven't done much work either. OH is hugely stressed and I'm getting stressed worrying about him. His dad is improving, but there's a lot to sort out - his mother can't cope on her own, so OH needs to sort out carers, panic buttons, lifts to and from the hospital ... I have told him to cancel next week's work trip and take some time off, as he can't do everything...
