Juliejim, how did you get on?

In my HHC which turned into an hour I S&S toilets, put the fizzy in to chill, and have hoovered/swept/mopped through house.

Re Meal plan sabateurs: they starve

Hello everyone, and Happy Hogmanay:j

No prizes for guessing - flying more regularly is a big part of my New Year resolutions :eek:

Anyone up for an AnW'sMum style ironing challenge? Commit to clear all your ironing by 31 December

Must fess up - only reason the basket is nearly empty is cos there's a mountain of ironing in the spare room.

DH has just had a word re money. His work STILL haven't paid him :mad::mad::mad: His pay day was supposed to be 20th Dec!! It is nothing to do with handing in his notice - just a general c**k up!! Meanwhile, mortgage & council tax is due on Wednesday :eek: Luckily I have been putting away 20% of my income into a savings account (well, most of the time anyway) to cover tax & expenses (I am self-employed) so we can use that until it is sorted. Not that they need to know that!

Could be worth pointing out to his work that they are liable for all bank charges, penalties for missed payments etc caused by the delay. Seems a long time though - is the company in financial trouble? By this time they should at least be offering cash or cheques to tide people over. If you've not already told your bank it would be worth letting them know. This happened to me once and they were very sympathetic.

Off to tackle the list.

Monday Bit of Everything
Level One

Level Three

HHI - who has achieved that empty basket? - defo won't do this!! So am adding add 10 more items to ebay.

Welcome caxmcd2000. It was over five years before I could get rid of the marks my favourite cat left on the skirting board on the stairs when she sunbathed, and only then as part of a Flying list a couple of months ago. She's still missed sniff.

Thanks for the list Dusty. Room of Doom oven recleaned.

Dusty - I did my ironing challenge - finished it on Xmas Eve - not interested in whether or not I have any for New Year as its Xmas thats important to me - can I have a clappy face pretty please lol

I have sorted out our room, DH needs to be reminded about the Xmas Decs as they are all piled on DS's bed at the mo! Have also cleaned the bath and the Hamster, took DD Lush shopping [she has vouchers] and I spent my vouchers at M&S, isn't it lovely to go and and get new things and not spend anything :]]]]
