    Thanks Lou :) - OH saw the shoes and said 'why can't you just get plain ones?'. Duh, cos I'm a girl and I like all things pretty and sparkly! Men have no idea ;).

    I've sold the side table for £15, so my fund is now up to £157 :). I listed some more items on Gumtree last night and now have a load of boxes to sort out my car boot stuff and start to pack.

    I need to start making daily lists again I think. I've got so much going on that I'm forgetting to do stuff. I might do that on the 'daily things' thread on the main board though. Don't want to bog my diary down with lists.

    Very nice :) - great price too. I think I looked at them in the shop, but never tried them on.

    Sorry everyone, I'm going to bore you with my daily lists on here instead ;). I would never be able to keep updating 2 threads at the moment.

    I'm no longer chasing the £150 bonus by the way. I think it's too late in the month and I would either drive myself mad or make myself ill if I tried to answer that many questions.

    So, my list to be completed by the end of tomorrow:
    1. [STRIKE]Do meds in the morning[/STRIKE]
    2. [STRIKE]Do meds in the evening[/STRIKE]
    3. [STRIKE]School run 1[/STRIKE]
    4. [STRIKE]School run 2[/STRIKE]
    5. [STRIKE]Earn £30[/STRIKE]
    6. [STRIKE]Fill a box for the car boot[/STRIKE]
    7. [STRIKE]Pack a box of my own stuff[/STRIKE]
    8. [STRIKE]Call the chemist and order more fat drinks[/STRIKE]
    9. [STRIKE]List OH's aunt's sofa and dining table on Gumtree (should have done it ages ago!)[/STRIKE]
    10. [STRIKE]List another 2 items on Gumtree to go towards Flat Fund[/STRIKE]
    11. [STRIKE]Hoover the areas where we have moved furniture and there's loads of dust![/STRIKE]
    12. [STRIKE]Do a load of washing[/STRIKE]
    13. [STRIKE]Nectar Adpoints[/STRIKE]
    14. Me time - have a relaxing bath
    15. Me time - finish reading my book (currently reading the Hunger Games trilogy and I'm on the last book. They are really good for anyone who hasn't read them yet)

    Morning :)

    I think I'm doing rather well with my list today. Only 8 things left to do.

    The flat fund is also up to £212 as one of the items I put on Gumtree last night was bought this morning (an old laptop that didn't work).

    I cooked some chicken we had in the freezer last night with some roast potatoes and veg. It was lovely. I don't know why I don't cook more often really. Definitely something I'm going to have to do more of when we're in our new place. We're going to have the luxury of a garage, so I might get another freezer and store it in there so we can buy more meat and even do some batch cooking.

    ETA - It's sunny so I'm going to wear my new shoes!!

    Practically everything from my list is done. My bath is running as I type and I'll finish the last couple of chapters of my book before I go to bed.

    My list for tomorrow:
    1. Get up early so I can watch the season finale of The Vampire Diaries before I do the school run (yes, I'm obsessed!)
    2. School run 1
    3. School run 2
    4. Morning meds
    5. Evening meds
    6. Earn £30
    7. Take burgers out of the freezer for OH's tea
    8. Do the washing up from tonight
    9. Do a load of washing
    10. Me time - start a new book. I'm thinking of starting the True Blood series.
    Right, bath, book and then bed. Night :).
