  • Today

    Well the machine is on and beeping done and that will be hung up inside soon.
    Banks/cc's checked - all squeaky but OK so far. CC's gone up slightly due to interest which always makes me cross. Not sure we'll get under the £3k by the end of the month but its all heading in right direction.

    To do
    [STRIKE]Sofa cover to wash
    Floors to clean etc
    Bedrooms to hoover and straighten up
    Land lady coming later to 'inspect us' for deposit back and get a new tenant coming over too.
    Tidy up garage
    Walk el mutts locally
    HM meals from cupboards
    Organise fridge/freezer as its gone a bit a cropper in there.
    Hope to hear from Job interview today surely?????????
    Do a bit of work at home - save petrol
    Might go into town later but will be for work so petrol expensed.
    Finish another job application for a community gardener at my fave garden link here if anyone near Edinburgh.
    Store tea tonight - thinking something fishy
    DD to drive into a concert tonight make most of the spends on the insurance
    Bag to charity shop if I'm out
    Compost (old tomatoes) to bag up for veggie garden as a mulch
    Sort through bedding and declutter it a bit
    Same for towels
    Clean bathrooms with minimum chemicals
    Do some baking for treats for the chaps.
    Meet a chum later to sort out a plan she has for a herb business
    Talk to sis about rehoming a greenhouse
    Look through bag of seeds..........and dream - no point in planting anything here but might try and get some things sorted for when move.
    Phone up about an oil delivery
    [/STRIKE]
    Lots to do and mainly at home.

    Hope you all have a great day.



    DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE AND DONE!

    In MOST exciting news - dear readers, I am proud to announce.......................................................................................................................


    I am getting my deposit back - so although I took a half day and cleaned and sorted and ploofed - we gained £480 into the family budget

    How exciting is that.:money:

    I did hear from job folks but only to say they were sending a cheque for my expenses.


    I hope you're all good.

    I'm XHAUSTED. But that's not a bad rate/hour for a bit of cleaning.

    Off to have a read.........

    :jwhoop to getting the deposit back and doing everything on your list ! I had to go and have a lie down after just reading it this morning so goodness knows how you must feel after achieving all of that. I Take my hat off to you - well I would if I was wearing one :D

  • Well cheery - I did find 72p as well :)

    And Elidee I'm allergic to cleaning but needs must. And, only a list would work.

    :)

    I'll tip my virtual hat to you too.

    So no rent in our last month as that's the deposit money.

    :)

    I've also decided a chest of drawers I was going ot 'declutter to a chum' is staying as I''m more attached to it than I thought. Sometimes its good to have a wee think isn't it.

    Fires on catching up with a few chums via the book.........

    Hope you're all good.

    Does a happy dance.

    Morning world blustery but sunny here - lots to do pondering a list and a wee cuppa.

    :D

    Waves good morning.

    ETA Hello there KC we cross posted. These things are a bit of a faff aren't they but I think good house karma, if you don't mind the pun is always gratifiying.

    And don't worry re the onions (see Greyings thread) I'll not indulge :)

    :hello:

    morning Pippi and the rest of you :)

    Sun's shining here and I'm feeling a giant pippi-style list coming on trying to get ready for half marathon and holidays all at once :eek:
  • Goodluck cheery!

    My list is thus.....

    Banks (later)
    Working both towns and expensed petrol
    No cleaning as all done :D
    Getting ready for an event tomorrow!
    Some baking later
    Must remember crispies for the dooble bugs
    Make some soup
    Sort out travel for DD at end of month - looking like I can't go then but will be down later
    Meals from stores - OR chips tonight - ponders
    Text landlady nice info about new tenant
    Walk doglets somewhere blustery
    DD to do some driving
    Paperwork later
    Sort out a bag to charity shop
    Declutter work stuff from garage to work later on

    That should be for today.

    I'll add 'sparkle' as Sophiesmum would say - you can't go wrong in life with a bit of sparkle!

    :D have a good un.
