Only one more official holiday day left. Booooooo!! So, what have I achieved? (one Lois style list coming up:D);
My Did Do's
#pretty much attended a session at lady gym every single day ('cept for Sundays when it's closed)
#cleared utility room, so if ever I had any savings. Ever. I wouldn't feel embarrassed for a builder / trades person to have a lookee
#tidied front and back garden including sweeping out and cleaning windows of outbuilding
#rekindled my acquaintance with eBay and sold 3 items (soon to be 4 as currently have a bid on my beloved MB products)
#arranged to do a car boot with a friend in 2 weekends time (further declutter and hopefully ££s)
#opened up my CC statement and self defibrillated my heart
#introduced the word 'mortgage' to my diary, and even looked up rates
#moved bedroom and furniture around so house not looking as cluttered as before
#watched first episode of Luther and sh@t my pants!
#downloaded free magazines onto iPad (my friend also gave me some today, so I'm in magazine heaven!!)
#gave up alcopops again (except for yesterday)
#finally finished stripping and sanding of door!!!!!!
#submitted winning entry in F&B competition

Hi Nat, your Did Do list looks pretty good to me.
I loved Luther and watched them over two nights on iplayer - fab - only needed my asthma spray every 20 mins or so :rotfl:
I love moving rooms around and last week moved the dining room to the sitting room and vice versa :T. Kids have told me I can't shift it again for a few years

I like shifting rooms around. It's like playing 'moving house' but without the solicitor's and estate agent's fees :rotfl:
I watched Luther through squintily closed eyes and through my fingers!!! I also checked under my bed for the next couple of nights:eek:February13 - £74990 (or thereabouts)

I hate moving the house round, currently have the old/new kitchen, in the living room, hall, dining room, garage, drive, downstairs loo (bleached to within a inch of its life and out of bounds as its now the washing of dishes area)
And the dust......................
Officially hate the granite company for being a week late, so maybe in 2 weeks I will have a shiny new kitchen. I thought it would be done tomorrow though
I'm not moaning, honest govMortgage Aug 12 £165K, Aug 19 £0

Well to be fair, you're only moving the kitchen around Radish
I will take photos of my kitchen in it's current state - THAT'LL make you feel better:eek:

Well, after those comments I WON'T be watching Luther, seeing as how I nearly poo'd my pants at the Woman in Black stageplay and am not brave enough to read it yet :rotfl:.
MWC. I deleted your email by mistake
. Sorry
. Still, Natty's got it all wrapped up :T.
Good list Nats :j.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0

Best not to watch GG, otherwise you'll never;
1. Be able to go to bed without checking under it at least 50 times!!
2. Want to go into your attic. Ever.
3. Look at your food processor in the same light again.
I've never watched WiB despite it being on netflicks as I'm scared of little girl ghosts :eek:February13 - £74990 (or thereabouts)

I can't believe you told me to watch something scary! I still get scared in taxis because of a Starsky and Hutch episode from years ago.
