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.

That *is* good news Pippi! :j :j :j Well done indeed!
If only all cleaning were that lucrative0 -
: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

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.
