    Flippin ek, well everyone's been so busy. I haven't done anything from the list today, but the washing is dry and away and the garden is looking lovely, even if I do say so myself. Well there's no one else here to brag to. About to put jacket spuds in oven and have a cuppa.
    Spend less now, work less later.
  • Spent an hour or so going over the documentation (half a trees worth!) for the dLA tribunal tomorrow.

    Any Posi-Flylady vibes between 10am and about 10.40am would be very welcome. We are terrified...

    Have been busying this afternoon amongst a few cuppas and a watch of A place in the sun where they were looking at Barbados :p!

    Cleaned out the cupboard under the sink as DH had half the stuff out to turn the water off. Thought I might as well. Had a good flinging session of stuff thats been there years that [STRIKE]we[/STRIKE] he kept for years "just in case".

    Have been doing more laundry now waters is on and have dinner cooking in the Remoska for when DH and DD decide to return. I now have to get a load in from the line and fold and fold another lot from the dryer (it looked like rain but didnt).

    Right more to do and I need to put the hoover away before it injures someon as the cable is trailing not just across the downstars floor but down the stairs as well. Oh and I might as well empty it while I'm there.
    Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!
