Well done you! :T

I'm being very domesticated this morning. There has been much washing, buffing and shining...

Ooh, that's brilliant Hun!
I'm still trying to motivate myself.
I have emptied and refilled dishwasher and switched it on.
DD has put a load of washing in.

To do today:
Tidy living room
Tidy kitchen
Sweep and mop downstairs
Sort out more stuff to sell
Photos for bay of e
Listings
Bathroom
Bake
Make draught excluder
Vacuum landing and bathroom
Sort out at least 1 cupboard
Sort out at least 1 drawer
Run an errand for my man.

I think that's enough to be going on with and if I achieve half of it I will be a happy bunny.

Ran errand
Sorted out recycling
My clean washing packed away.
1 drawer tidied and stuff thrown away.
DD is finishing the shredding
Right off to make a cuppa and then take some photos.
Photos of 15 items taken.

Today I have:
Sorted 1drawer out and thrown away some carp
Sorted recycling
But bleach round the edge of the sealant on the bath in a vain attempt to make it white again
Cleared up some rubbish in the lounge
Took photos of 15 things for bay of e
Made another draught excluder. That's 4 made now and not even made any for my home yet!
DD2 has done 2 lots of washing so far.

Still not done any baking and I still have lounge and kitchen to tidy and sweep and mop.
Still have landing and bathroom to vacuum and photos to edit and listings to write up.
I've decided to just do what I can with the energy I have left and what ever doesn't get done will have to keep until tomorrow!
That reminds me-I need to eat. I have only eaten some marshmallows today far.

Got sealant round bath back to white. :T
Not really achieved much else today since my last post on here.
But I think I can get about £40 for some old phones -might try selling them as a job lot on the bay.... Will have a think about this. £40+ would be great in my savings account.

Done more financial shuffling tonight and I now have £354 in savings.
So that's £354/£2,000
I need another £146 to get to my first £500.

tc - you may have accounted for this already - but I noticed today that the dd for our council tax hasn't gone out and then remembered that we pay it over 10 months so have two 'free' months, perhaps you do too ? Another boost to your savings perhaps ? Hth

Hi Ellidee. long time no see!
Thanks for coming on over
Yes, thanks for this - we do pay ours over 10 months too. I'll have to have a look and see what I can sort. I've already accounted for this months council tax.
I got DD1 to get me a daily mirror today so I will utilise the voucher for Ald! (Save a fiver off the shopping) and put the extra fiver in savings too.
