Apple muncher's number crunching

apple_muncher

Have already 'sold' £1.80 worth of craft!! Go me!

Had a letter waiting when got home - an unfair parking charge has been cancelled. Well done dh! But it will make us more careful in future...

Off to my meeting as soon as dh gets in. Luckily it's a 5 min walk!

Money shuffling done. Happy times. Would still love to get into the 59s by the end of the year, but it doesn't seem possible. I knew it was a pipe dream really - after all, we'll have reduced the mortgage by about 17.5k in 12 months! Not too shabby...

No cleaning done today, so that pleasure awaits daylight.

And a decision has been made, to make no more items for the craft stall on Monday.

Tomorrow's list is nicely short at the mo:
- cheerleading
- aldee
- cleaning
- washing
- washing up
- tidy work bag
- finalise dd's bday invites list


Enough! Off to nod.

Dh has left me the car to do the food shop today - he couldn't face driving to and from work with all the eejits on the roads! He therefore expects me to include wine and beer in the shop!

I should also do some present wrapping. Then I won't need to hide things in my drawers and risk pulling something out every time I get dressed.

Time to go and wake up dd.

Dd dropped happily at cheerleading - they are doing an assembly in 2 weeks and it is on a day that I don't work, so I'm very pleased to be able to see what she's doing!

Aldee done in the car, and £5 off voucher used. Dh's alcohol was under £6, and I also got some bits for the foodbank, Christmas marshmallows for dd, bottled beers for dh (whose ONLY idea for a present for him has been PCpro magazine!), and my secret santa for work. Result: only £28 spent on food.

And we STILL have 1 more £5 off voucher!

Washing has been washed and hung up to dry.

Workout has been done: think it is Tik Tok - 10 mins of 10 high knees + belly down = 50 reps. Then 100 squat jumps to finish off. Then a trot down to the shops for neighbour.

I am now washed and clean, watching the end of HUTH with a coffee.

Next will be cutting out the final (:rotfl: how often have I thought I was on the last one?!) bunny and some wrapping. Fun fun fun!

A bunny got cut out and all parts sewn; 8 limbs got stuffed and I found 2 more legs that had already been stuffed; 2 legs got attached to a body; and a bag got made!

Dd and I are sat here with tea lights on, plus a huge candle dh has had for aoens and never lit. It's well cosy! And we are both on our tablets!

I've started the final sleeve of dd's jumper - go me :rotfl:! Done 2 stripes out of 26, so need to keep going if I am to finish it by Cmas, as will need to do the neck/collar and sew it all up too.

Dinner is ready for when dh can get home, the washing up is done. And the round coffee table area took me 40 mins to fully clean. Twas well yukky. Oooh, and 2 pieces of tinsel adorn the lounge :T.

Off to try to get dd to finalise a guest list for her party.(Note to self: start putting real notes in an envelope for Elsa).

Indeedy! Thanks to :money:!

Today has been 'one of those days' where I'm now sat quietly with dd to get her to sleep, but am not relaxed about the day. Once she is asleep I need to write a certain email, and hope that will lessen the anxiety.

Tomorrow I do not work - phew!

- school run
- doc 9.30 (blood, ears + dd's prescription, I think)
- dentist 10.50 (never like this!)
- return library book
- bank coins
- check aldee for a snow jacket for dd
- sew up 4 arms and attach to bodies
- knit several stripes
- clean round the square coffee table
- start a list of items to sell in 2015?

Done so far:
- school run
- doc (bloods fine, ears fine, presc acquired)
- library book returned via a new machine that scans the cover and gives you a receipt. Most exciting!
- £11 coins banked - have plenty more but am keeping them as float for Mon for now
- aldee visited- snowsuit bought for dd plus ski socks, eggs and cmas cake for foodbank.
- ch shop visited where I found a bui1dabear for £1, and book and dvd for another 60p.
- dentist check up - all fine (mega phew)


Now to finish my coffee and 'do' the square coffee table area. Might put on some music and the timer! Go me!

A mum in the playground asked me if I still had any of the little bags - she bought one at the school fair. So, 2 more sold! Pennies due next fri. Leaves a goooood feeling!

Square coffee table are cleaned and slightly sorted - the windows that end are always full of condensation, especially on one half, so I need to remember to a) dry them off occasionally! b) keep the furniture slightly further out so that the air can circulate..

Sewing, attaching and knitting all done.

List is forming in my head. No high value stuff, just gubbins, really. Gulp!

Tomorrow dd and I are off to a huge (awful) soft play place - she won a place on the trip at Kids Klub. We'll have to be up at a reasonable hour, I guess. Dh has to have his contact lenses checked, so he'll then collect the car and move it to a free parking place (where I have to leave it has restrictions that result in tickets!) and come and collect us on our return.

Not much to say, really. Am pondering starting another bunny, for monday's fair, but need to be sure I can finish it in time...

Off for a mooch...
