    Maybe the threat of you using the skip with the contents from her room will give her the kick up the rear to get it done ;)

    Put the contents of her room into black bin bags and then into the skip...
    She then has until Wednesday to rescue what she needs... ;)

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    She's going to work today but has assured me she will do it by Wednesday as she's got a few days off. Tempted to do as UncannyScot suggests while she's out :)

    Got to sort out life assurance to cover the mortgage today. If anything happened to me Mr SA would never be able to afford the repayments. No point trying to get it for him though, I doubt he'd be accepted and if he did the payments would be sky high. Found a deal on Money Supermarket where you get a £75 gift voucher, got some decent quotes back, not sure whether to just go for life insurance at £11 per month or add critical illness cover to it for £22 per month.

    Weather looks quite nice so far today, hope it lasts. Got plenty of jobs to be getting on with today: decluttering, menu plan, sort finances, gardening, finish off the book I'm reading. Was tempted to go into town but don't need to get anything in particular and we'll end up spending money unnecessarily. I think I'll save the eating out for when we don't have a kitchen.

    One more week then it all begins. Eek!!!!!

    I ended up going for the death or terminal illness at £12 a month.

    Cleared out some of kitchen. We just have so much stuff it's unbelievable. Got rid of some of it but not throwing things out for the sake of it. We'll have more storage in the new kitchen, it was my stipulation.

    Mr SA has just announced he's desperate to be a millionaire :) What his plan for this is I don't know.

    Only spend today was £8.95 for a personalised number plate from eBay for Mr SA's scooter!!!!!

    Hope everyone has had a good weekend and is ready for the week ahead :)
