Hi everyone, ive been AWOL for a while, hope everyone is ok, hugs and best wishes to anyone needing them. Well, place a bit of a tip, dived out of bed at 8am in a panic, thinking water meter engineer was coming between 8.30 and 1.30, so blitzed the place up 'till 11, then checked my diary, doh, its tomorrow, well place now tidy, so will start lists, kitchen clean and tidy, but will get steamer out and do downstairs floors and then do the rest on the lists. Have a nice day everyone. Beautiful sunshine in London.0

Hope everyone is well. Had some drama this morning so haven't done anything yet. Dog decided to hop everywhere yesterday, not putting any weight on front right foot. Took him vets this morning, and guess what? Not a limp in sight. Vet says there's nothing wrong that he can see. Still decided to give him pills though. £36 for 5 little painkillers! :eek:

Good morning everyone.
Well, wasted (?) most of today so far on the 7 Day Fiscal Fast thread so needed to get off my bottom and onto the list - managed to do this lot in about an hour which I'm quite pleased about as a proper clean hasn't been done for a while.

Level One
Hoover/wipe the sofas
Level Two
Dust the electricals
Hoover the floor
Level Three
HH tidying, decluttering, sorting
Clear and clean windowsills
Extras

Also managed to sort out all the shoes in the hallway (unearthing the scariest spider I've ever seen!) and chuck about 4 years worth of phone books/yellow pages (can these be recycled?). Feeling quite happy!

our area recycle them, it says on the brown plastic bag we put paper and card in "telephone directories" schools used to take them but now they just go in with general recycling
you could ring your council and check before putting them outSPC~12 ot 124

Thanks pigpen and moneypenny - will check x
Edit - glad I checked, just found out we get a new bin on Thursday for all our plastics, papers (including directories) and loads more - really pleased as we used to have to put our plastics in the Tesco bins which really cluttered up the kitchen. No idea where we'll keep the bin though!My debt free diary | Post Office loan: £2131 1429.38 | Barclaycard: £4429 1988.12 | Paypal Credit £322.71 574.91 | Monzo Flex £169.03 |
