    Well not sure where most of this week has gone, its almost time to start thinking about the weekend :j

    Have had a quiet/dull week. 31p spend in wa1trose today, no tilly tidies, so must try harder on that score.

    Meal planning done until the 26th March, online food shopping order done for fresh stuff and top ups, WILL bring the grocery shopping in on budget, I will, I will, I will.

    Double-cleaning tomorrow, bit like double maths at school.
    Bring it on!
    Night all, off for a hot choc. Get me!

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Double cleaning IS double PE - you have to do things you don't particularly enjoy doing, and you can't sit down (but you do burn calories). ;)

    Yes, but at least I get paid to do double-cleaning, never got paid to do PE, wouldn't have dome it through choice even if they had paid me! I'm with you on that one GG, always hated PE.

    1 cleaning job down, 1 to go.....

    quick coffee fix in between. lovely sunny day, solar panels are doing their thang, hope you're all having a good day too!

    Double-cleaning done, yah! :j

    Bought waitrose meal deal, wine very nice :D

    Off on school trip as helper with year 6's tomorrow, followed by village hall commitee meeting, so hopefully a NSD.

    Going to commune with my spreadsheets this weekend. Been paid for one job by cheque, for the last time, standing order from next month so no waiting around for funds to clear before juggling pennies.

    Scales either broken, or I haven't gained or lost more than 1/4 lb in past 2 weeks, seems unlikely so think they are a bit broken....:mad: Still on plus side if they are I can eat what I like and not gain an ounce :D

    Off to catch up on some diaries, evening all.

    Up far too early thanks to alarm going off in property I am key-holder for, phone ringing at 5.10am never a good start to the day, still call-out fee to turn it off handy :D

    Scales not broken and moved 1 and 1/4 lbs in right direction.:j

    Off to make healthy packs lunches for kids and me as am joining yrs 5 & 6 on trip today, may need to take flask of coffee with me too to keep awake after such an early start.

    Evening all,

    only spent £1.70 today for sweeties for coach journey. :)
    Hubby took tiddler to local indoor play centre as weather very yucky here.

    Double-parental interviews this afternoon, all good :)

    Village hall meeting mercifully brief, had to leave as had tiddler with me and she announced to all present "I Stinky" and indeed she was.

    Hoping for a quiet weekend, with a bit of spreadsheet tinkering, some book-keeping for a client, followed by some 6 Nations winning for England, and topped off with roast pork.

    Things i am glad for tonight
    * Boiler repair man who made it so I can have hot clean bath
    * Son getting upset watching Red Nose Day, glad he has empathy
    * School visit to Fire safety centre with year 5 & 6
    * Good friend who looked after tiddler while DH and I at parent's evening
    * A great online library system to reserve books for daughter to increase her reading range

    Night all. x
