Breaking Through, Travelling On

Karmacat

Hi Miz! I find lists incredibly helpful. I try not to include personal items in there, I really like the focus on income on here. So on this list, the email was from a prospective client (and another one came in while I was answering it, thats incredibly rare!) and the supermarket is there because we all work on our grocery budget, and especially because of the £5 :rotfl:

And as to the list:
- [STRIKE]got to answer an email[/STRIKE] and another one!
- need to go to the supermarket. this afternoon.
- tell the builder to go ahead. this afternoon.
- [STRIKE]check out the trading for a little bit[/STRIKE]. Hurray, did it, and there was a trade on the Dow at 11am - unless I'd been watching it like a hawk, it would only have made pennies (it swooped up and down a bit :rotfl:) but thats fine. The trick is to enter the trade every time, and exit at the right signal.

Ah well, the builder is only a phone call, I can do that tomorrow morning.

And I've also rescued the Christmas pudding that fell behind a cupboard :rotfl: its best before date is March 2014, so its actually in date :eek: The rescue meant I needed to clean the floor. A lot. I can't begin to describe how dirty my kitchen floor is and I wasn't going to slide my cupboard over it until I'd cleaned it

I've been out in the garden - its really important to me that the garden is useable again this summer, it got really overgrown during my virus, very unpleasant. I'm doing what I can without disappearing into the mud (clay), which means pulling up self rooted strawberries (there are literally dozens, one every few inches, so none of them has space or nutritious to get strawberries ), getting rid of roots I tipped out of the windowsill boxes, getting new drainage stones into the boxes ready for plants that need more drainage, all sorts of stuff like that.

Haven't done anything on the cat website must do better.

Sorry Beanie :o:o I do take my tea a little bit stronger than I used to, and thats probably it, you're right - I find them a bit harsh. Or maybe I'm thinking of the Red? Or *is* that Basics?

The Red is the floor scrapings of genuine tea houses.

Basics is the floor scrapings of the Red tea house...

Oh Z :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::eek:

Yeah, I thought scrapings (and dust from the floor) would be involved once we started this discussion. I worked at Cadbury Schweppes factory as a summer job one year, and admittedly it was back in the 70s, but hygiene left a *lot* to be desired.

I bought some, anyway, the Basics, which were magnificent value, at 27p for 80 - we'll see. They may become like Hypno's tin of sprouts, to be used in emergencies (like the house flooding, which is much more likely than emergencies used to be, considering the weather).

And just like the weather people promised, its tipping it down. Again. And I have to go out at midday, probably, for a meeting with my business partner. Its forecast to clear just as I get to his house :mad: (not very :mad:, not really, just seems the only one that fits!).

Lists - well, I am *appalled* at how untidy I left my house yesterday evening, so much that I can't actually use my space for anything, you know? That isn't good enough, when you're being so untidy everything's in the way Plus, the trip to see my partner will take a while - 5 hours, I suppose, which cuts down available list time.

Plus point two: I can use the trip to stop off at the Wilko thats in the next town, two birds with one stone, etc etc, so *this* is the list that matters:
- wellies - how can I have let my wellies get holes in and not replaced them, in this weather?
- rolling pins and hinges, which will cost about £5 (ooh! the voucher yesterday) for a domestic machinery experiment for my end of the world novel. If it works, I'll post it up here, cos its brill :rotfl:
- check out price of cornflakes in Lidl there - I'm working up to a blog post about that :rotfl:
- check out the plants/roots/bulbs.
- surgical spirit - I have a yen to make my own hand gel - for one thing, I use it to disinfect the handle of a supermarket trolley, which is said to be dirtier than most toilets. And surgical spirit is the base.
- a Wilko bread bin - I want to use flour regularly, and the way I have it stored is discouraging me. I don't use bread, but Wilko have pretty bread bins. I want one!

Help please! How much are cornflakes at Aldi? I don't have one I can get to without making a special journey, not even at the weekend. I've looked at their Essentials range online and blimey!!!! 907g of frozen peas is 89p! In Sainsbo, its £1.70!!!! Must check that in Lidl too, I may be stocking up, even if it *is* in the next town

:eek: at wellies with holes in :eek: glad you're getting a shiny new replacement pair! :j

Hope you don't get tooo wet today

You've reminded me I need to ring the roofer (yawn) but there doesn't seem much point when it's snowing! :rotfl:

mizmir

Have fun at Wilko - sounds like an expedition!

Untidy houses - don't get me started! I am soooo bad for this - and so much worse now I am here all the time. I don't think I notice it until everything disappears under an avalanche of paperwork but OH does and it isn't fair! Not that she is particularly tidy but I think she leaves me standing!

have a great day out!

Karmacat

Thanks both! Yep, the boring stuff - phoning a builder, tidying ... dreadful :rotfl:

Right, cuppa tea, check the bus times, I'm off. Hope everyone has as lovely a day as possible

Hope you achieve all on your shopping list KC and that it is a good meeting

My wellies have flowers all over them I keep *wanting* a new pair but they aren't *needed* and as you have seen from my posts i don't have the storage so i will keep going with these ones - they must be about 10 years old the replacements i wanted were £7 in the sale and in my size and i still resisted... not sure if thats a :T or ... :rotfl:

It is also very rainy here too!

Right i *am* going to do some more of my assignment now and then its back to my list Couldn't resist popping in and saying hi though

Definately a :T!!!

:rotfl: at your wellie resistance DDFW

I have two pairs Didn't have any until I visited Wellie Fiend Pippi and spent a fortnight wearing her industrial work ones and LOVED them Bought some bright yellow food factory ones for £16 - they're completely indestructible - moulded soles, steel toe caps, resistant to blood and acid (very useful :eek: ). Love them, but they're SO heavy. Bought a cheery turquoise pair with white polka dots in a charity shop for £3 recently so been wearing those quite a lot too

Have a good day KC, hope it doesn't snow on you!
