Hi all! Just popping in to report todays (lack of) progress. I overslept and didn't get up until 4.50
which meant that I had to get straight on with tea. So today, done: Mow lawn (DH was handed an extention straight after work and got on with it
), Hoovered and mopped floors, clean sink and shine taps, wash windows, wiped hob and oven. I have also done 3 loads of washing and am just waiting for one to finish before I can go to bed as DS got his school jumper dirty and doesn't have another.
DH and I planted up some sweet peas and livingstone daisies before tea too.
I've also cleaned most of the inside of the oven but I wore out my brillo pad!
I have training tomorrow from 9-12.30 and will then have to do some errands around. Then when I get back, I shall get on with things and try to catch up with the last 2 days lists!Debt: 16/04/2007:TOTAL DEBT [strike]£92727.75[/strike] £49395.47:eek: :eek: :eek: £43332.28 repaid 100.77% of £43000 target.MFiT T2: Debt [STRIKE]£52856.59[/STRIKE] £6316.14 £46540.45 repaid 101.17% of £46000 target.2013 Target: completely clear my [STRIKE]£6316.14[/STRIKE] £0 mortgage debt. £6316.14 100% repaid.0 -

Good morning
Not much more than urgent stuff/dailies managed last night. DS1 helped by pegging laundry out before work and DH brought it back in last night. DS2 helped by getting on with the homework he'd been stuck on at the weekend (writer's block, I think). :A
Today is another long day at work, but I'll call somewhere on the way back, as I need cash, petrol and a top-up shop before collecting DS2 from friends'.

I'm going to try and get my dailies done before DD leaves for school (except finances, they won't update until 8am). Then I can concentrate on my business accounts. I'm up to December 2011 in my customer info cards, but only July 2011 in inputting the figures into my software. I'd love to get FY 11/12 finished today!:wave:

Pigpen:-
Given the evidence presented on this forum I don't think there's a jury in the land that would convict you (provided it was an all female jury!;);))
Is it the same ex that was ringing your O/H in the past? She is seriously out of order!
Off to make DD1's breakfast! Catch you later...:jFlylady and proud of it:j0 -
Morning all. Yesterday I didn't manage the list or doing my bedroom so glad that's on the list today, although I'm not sure I'll have time today either. Took SickDog to the vet and decluttered over £100 though, and she has another ailment to add to her very long list, although she's actually doing really well at the moment.
Right, as I've had a lie in, I'd better get moving and walk these dogs before the paid stuff.
Have a great day everyone.Spend less now, work less later.0 -
Morning all
Nicki the grumpy and tired you can do little about but surely you can prevent a sunburnt child from arriving home tonight?
Off walking this morning then I need to finish my neighbours garden and strim the grass between the strawberry patches.
Cricket later so hoping the sun shines for a lovely relaxing evening.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -

hugs good wishes and postive thoughts to all who need them especially pigpen and skiny
Bossy well done on growing potatoes, ive got an asparagus plant pop up this year, i plpanted 3 last year and they did nothing so i thought id got duds, but half way through a row of leeks a little feathery thing has popped up so assuming its one of last years plants decided to put in an appearance.
welcome to the new flyers
spent yesterday cleaning out the fishtank and installing new pump, looks 100% better - might even be tempted to get some more fish.
but notice mouse didnt look too chipper last night and sure enough got up this morning to a poor little ex-mouse, was only saying to mum on the phone last night wed had it for almost 3 years:( (i know because the neighbours looked after it 2 times while weve been on holiday and its almost that time again. it was one of a pair of "free to a good home" mice DD3 got from local pet shop. ever the sentimentalist DS2 said well it lasted long enough. Ive asked if im having that quote on my headstone so hes gone off to school laughing.
supose i better get the spade out. (anyone you want me to push in a hole while im digging pigpen?;) )
