    Bedroom - Finishing the deep Clean
    Strip the bed. If you can turn the mattress and Hoover.

    Just eating a frog by sorting out car insurance quotes. Need to now sort out a budget for February so will make a coffee before I fire up the bank stuff and try to work out how much we have. I get brasses off sorting money. DH takes no interest in the nitty gritty of it just says "There should be that much in savings, what have you spent it on!" Le sigh. Need to get us back on track and figure out what costs are coming this year too as need to pay out a fair amount for camps for DS and DD.
    May not be booking any car hire or hotels this month then :(.
    Think I need to consider starting a little running away fund (as one of my male colleagues named it- he was shocked I didn't have one!) so that I can start secreting money and vouchers in readiness for a new kitchen. Mine is falling apart now.
    Right, crack on.

    Morning all :D

    My plans for today have changed again. I don't know why I try planning ahead :rotfl: I was going to go for a long walk and run some errands, but I'm feeling awful today so I'm going to stay home do some admin and flying. I need to sort out my shopping list so we can go shopping at some point over the weekend. DD asked if we could have it delivered, but unless she is willing to pay the £5 delivery out of her money the answer is no ;)

    Anyways, todays must dos:
    Work: sort books out, update calling book, set up spreadsheets.
    Shopping list / food inventory
    Wash up (after lunch)
    Update finances
    General tidy throughout house
    Laundry

    Anything else will be a bonus. :o :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    please can the flyladies send get well quick vibes for my DS who is in hospital.

    Sorry to hear that your DS has had another flare-up, Jazee. Many GWS vibes winging his way! My DS2 who has the same condition had a bad time in the autumn term, but we know that was brought on by a combination of tiredness caused by a baby who doesn't want to sleep past 5.30 am and the stress of his new college course. Very worrying, but I can't do much to help when they are so far away. We're going to see them in a couple of weeks' time, on our way up to York :)

    The Garden Gang are paving the drive today :D

    I still have 2 frogs sitting on my desk, croaking loudly - I absolutely must deal with them as soon as I've put in the next WM load! We need to do a big CS run :) and I must go to the bank and PO again - and we've nearly run of out milk, with 4 workmen drinking tea every hour or so.

    (((Hugs))), spoons and sticks to all.

    Anyone seen bonnie_bumpkins recently?

    Ok plans changed. Friend with BC needs to go to H Street for a scan so I shall either go on the train with her or drive her there. Shame that puts and end to today's hopes of flying but priorities and all that.
