    Hello all. Have not long finished the paid stuff which has been manic today so my lists went to pot. This is what I've done:

    Walked the dogs twice
    Given downstairs a quick hoover, may as well not have bothered as it doesn't show

    Decided to sort out hats/scarves etc as per list and started to look for littley dog's coat to see if it still fits. I couldn't find it, so ended up tidying the cupboard of doom in my endeavours, so there's a frog gone. Filled a charity bag, and then noticed her coat in the original bag I'd taken out of the cupboard.

    It doesn't fit.

    Think its time for Corrie then will cook some tea when DH gets in from work.

    Have a great evening everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    I'm in again this week - thanks for the list Dusty. Can't promise I'll get much done because I'm tired from my new job today and having to get 2 buses whilst my car needs repairs etc.

    Thanks for the good luck for today - my first day was good :)

    dancemum - hope your DH is ok.

    Think I will stay off-list tonight. Plan is to:

    Finish ironing
    Wash up and S&S kitchen
    S&S bathroom

    Off to start with the washing up!

    Hi :hello:

    Hope your all having a fab Monday!

    Welcome to all the newbies!

    LW - you actually made me lol! :rotfl: Well done on cleaning the oven, but I wont ask if you wanna do mine :D
    Dancemum - hope everything is ok! Thoughts and vibes are with you

    I managed to get most of my stuff back from the house! :j My brother will go back and get bigger stuff that wouldnt fit in the car for me at the weekend :D

    Then I had to go pick up a bargain fridge freezer which my poor brother and his mate picked up for me! :)

    So.... current status: Boxes everywhere, kitchen has far too much crapola in it, loads needing done -- but one puffed out xxJoxx!!

    Money for the fridge freezer has come out of this months grocery budget, but Ive got food so we are fine! And in the long term Ill be able to cut that bdget as I wont have to keep buying fresh all the time!! Yay!! :j :j :T :T :j :j All part of the long term plan!

    Right - I need to go make my kitchen actually look like a kitchen :D
