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.

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:- [STRIKE]Do meds in the morning[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Do meds in the evening[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]School run 1[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]School run 2[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Earn £30[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Fill a box for the car boot[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Pack a box of my own stuff[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Call the chemist and order more fat drinks[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]List OH's aunt's sofa and dining table on Gumtree (should have done it ages ago!)[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]List another 2 items on Gumtree to go towards Flat Fund[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Hoover the areas where we have moved furniture and there's loads of dust![/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Do a load of washing[/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Nectar Adpoints[/STRIKE]
- Me time - have a relaxing bath
- 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!!0 -
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:- Get up early so I can watch the season finale of The Vampire Diaries before I do the school run (yes, I'm obsessed!)
- School run 1
- School run 2
- Morning meds
- Evening meds
- Earn £30
- Take burgers out of the freezer for OH's tea
- Do the washing up from tonight
- Do a load of washing
- Me time - start a new book. I'm thinking of starting the True Blood series.
