    FFP... you getting rid of him for a day... :D I hope he isn't too awful when he gets home,.. if he is double his pain meds and he will hopefully sleep for a month :p

    Ooooh no... I do NOT do vomit.. I don't do my own and I sure as nelly won't do anyone elses!!!

    Anyhoobles... Sister.. on the pretence of buying baccy bought 2 bottles of wine.. went home got sozzled.. decided she needed to go to shop at 11pm for baccy/gas/more wine (delete depending on who was being spoken to) and was accosted by 2 groups of scrotelike males and ended up being brought home by police.. not for the first time I might add.. phnarrr..

    Oooh she is going to get a reputation with the local scrotes and the local plods for being a drunk and an easy target ..

    I'm just mean I know, but after this weekend the small things make me happy.

    And just to get out of the house (I've not left it since Friday night) I tootled along to church with OH and it was full of balloons so my face was itching .. they weren't near me so my breathing was ok and my mouth wasn't buzzy..

    AND... Squeak used the big mummy toilet for a wee!!! She screams hysterically whenever she is near a toilet normally so this is a big step forward for her.. she has only been trained since September!

    Discussing Squeaks birthday (which is a Sunday) apparently my children have no right to be there for her birthday party because.. they see her all the rest of the year!!!!! ... and OH wants to invite all his friends.. erm... it is SQUEAKS birthday not yours.. if you want YOUR friends to come you invite them on YOUR birthday... besides given the previous arrivals there is a large chance I will have just had the baby which would mean cancelling everything and just have picnic and cake.. I absolutely do NOT want people coming to my house when I have just had a baby!!!! You can guess who would end up tidying the whole house can't you?!

    I am just so selfish wanting her siblings to be part of her birthday celebrations, I don't know how I live with myself!

    Good afternoon, I thought I would post today to try and help me to get motivated as I have so much to do and I am getting very stressed

    The jobs that I need to get done today:

    Catch up with emails that have come in this week
    Catch up with surveys including one poll and pure profile
    [STRIKE]Nectar adpoints, Swagbucks, Swapits, TCB,Postcode lottery and Birthday bingo[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Complete the freelance project that I currently have in[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Trip to Mr A for food shopping and need to get some clothes as direct delivery has not arrived[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Get a quick shower and get the kids dressed[/STRIKE]
    Pack ds's holiday bag
    Pack dd's holiday bag
    Pack my holiday bag
    Catch up with the laundry
    Sort a to do list for the final week of this month (whilst things are still fresh in my memory)
    Clean out the hamster
    Clean out the chickens
    Write a note for the person that is going to be looking after our animals
    Print account paperwork and update company accounts
    Print the holdiay paperwork
    [STRIKE]Check the bank and move money around[/STRIKE]
    Iron the clothes that are needed for next week
    Sort through the basket of dried washing
    Submit information to shop and scan
    Make a last minute list for tomorrow
    Catch up with the rest of this thread

    I think that is everything that I need to get done today, I best get my rear end into gear and make a start
  • Dog walked. Both kids showered and nitchecked. Dinner done. Meal plan done for next week plus shopping list. Sky is brightening up too :j. Created some spreadsheets and formulated some plans for blitzing a few debts. Only small ones, but they seem to be hanging around forever :(

    Kids have been asked to strip their beds when they get up in the morning and bung it all in the utility room. BBC Weather website says 19 degrees and sunshine tomorrow for this postcode - I am determined to cut down on the TD usage and get this darned electricity bill down. No more sticking the WM on willy-nilly and hoping for the best. From now on, it will be planned with military precision :rotfl:

    Once Narcissus (DS, almost 12) gets out of the bathroom, I will shower for work. I think I preferred the days when he was a smelly oik and the word "girls" made him feel sick :rotfl:
    Decluttering junk and debt in 2016
    Debts - Vanquis £3500 1/1/16; DFD - when I'm dead with £100,000,000+ interest :eek: UPDATED Feb 2016 £2739.80; DFD June 2016 :j
    Next - £1500 1/1/16 DFD about 10 years time. UPDATED Feb 2016 £1371.16; DFD July 2016 :j
    THE GOAL IS TO HAVE NO DEBT BY THE END OF 2016

    So.. I've lurked here for a long time seeking motivation but I'm just plain lazy! :o BUT I was reading your threads in the early hours this morning and decided today would be my spring clean day! So far (and I'm not finished - I'm having a tea break :rotfl:) I've done the following:

    Popped to asda to find this mystical stardrops
    Got said stardrops measurements very wrong
    Cleaned every inch of my bathroom
    Become a fan of stardrops
    Stripped the bed
    2 loads of washing done and airing
    1 load of washing is on its last spin as I type
    Eaten 3 crumpets
    Polished, hoovered, de-cobwebbed my living room
    Taken out the rubbish and sorted recycling
    Recovered my sofa cushions
    And sorted my understair cupboard

    My motivation is here! Finally! :T

    Thanks all :D
