    Note to self, sprinkling cheap stuffing mix over chicken portions before roasting is LUSH

    Airers both cleared

    TD on


    OH just doing DW


    Just sorting 5 ebay items.. I am saving the money from my sales in my ISA to cover next Christmas.. I am so excited about not having to pay the bank loan any more.. I am so sad! lol.. It is paid off 18 months early.. another tie to KH broken.. :D:D:D Just the mortgage to go and I am free of him entirely.. obviously we will always share the children but I don't want to be without them.. and they are growing up way too fast!


    Pixie still snotting and grotting and she had a couple of expert projectile vomiting episodes yesterday.. I think she scared OH a bit with the violence of it.. there was no warning at all.

    Piggers, loved your 'life's too short' post.
    Lucky - hope the little ones are fine soon.
    Bossy - will try that with the chicken.

    And Happy Birthday Roxy.

    This morning has been all about ME. Yay. Hair cut and dyed now, new to me clothes bought and a lovely long soak in the bath.

    So I now need to make pizza dough, sort out the dead Christmas flowers for composting, wash up, hoover through the house and walk the dogs (weather permitting).

    I hope everyone is having a great day despite all the little hiccups.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Ebay stuff sorted ready to post and another listing added.. I have a huge box of stuff to get listed too most of which probably won't sell but I need to try for my Christmas and car funds. I might not eat for 2 years but I'll have this house emptied if it kills me!

    Hi guys

    I would like to join you all if possible... I was around a few years ago but life changed a lot got divorced moved and now working full time with 3 Dd's at home and me working full time I need to get in a proper routine again to save my sanity...

    Today so far I have cleaned kitchen along with cleaning lots of cat poo( my old cat is 19 and I think he is on the way out :( not sure whether to take him to the vets or not - he has lost weight and I know the vets will say to put him down) it could hve been on of the other 2 cats hard to pin point.

    I have also taken down the Xmas secs in the living room and dusted - vacuuming still to be done. Also 2 loads in em and 1 currently in drier.

    I hve a garage to sort out for charity as the girls went through their bedrooms in readiness for chritmas and it all ends up in the garage... Maybe some eBay bits?

    Still to do today - take girls to their dads, vacuum, dishwasher, nice hot bath an relax...and a maybe sort out of school uniforms for Monday...

    I'm a cleaner too and the vast majority of my customer's houses are cleaner than my own. Every now and again though, oof. One bloke said he might need some help decluttering, this was his dining table:

    The rest of the house was just as bad. I feel your pain xx

    Still in bed so flying-wise; I've done burger all :D

    Lol. His dining table looks like my whole office! :o:o

    Happy Birthday Roxy!

    5 mins on the exercise bike 1.4km done and I'm shattered - I knew I was unfit but that's awful! Better make sure I go on most days from now on!
