Congratulations kazw X
Am thinking I ought to get dressed. I have errands to run today. I've sorted my ISA, I'm popping up to the local flooring place to see if they have a cheap piece of Lino or similar for the playhouse. I think the chipboard floor will just soak in any grot from little shoes, and be impossible to clean.
I'm sure there is other stuff to do. But we don't really have any plans until Sunday afternoon. Paid stuff has been so crazy lately I feel like I need a "go slow" few days...
DS last day at school today until after Easter weekend
Hope you all have a good day XBossymoo

Morning flyladies :wave:
Our bed stripped and in the WM on a hot wash. Curtains sprayed with destinkifier, carpet liberally "shaked", will be vacced later
Lounge reset to tidy, kitchen S&S and breakfast stuff WUDUPA. Dry stuff removed from airer and the remaining damp pieces shoogled around, hoping they'll be dry (or at least dry enough to iron) by the time I'm back from the shops.
Shower curtains soaking in bleachy water ready to be washed and rehung.
Everyone tired and grumpy today, DH didn't get home til after oneDS1 fretting about rugby this afternoon, he's a real beanpole and just gets trampled by the bigger, stronger kids. I've reminded him it's just one more week and he's finished.
Happy Friday all xx0 -

. Physio today. Hope to get some relief if not today- in view on the horizon.
Right, it would appear that I have a fair amount to do from the lists. Annoyingly, I have just found 2 payslips on the bookcase and I thought I had filed everything yesterday. Gah! If mine is the March one, it means I can throw away all the others from the year.
So far today, the weather is dry. I may actually be able to get out in the garden. I'm really keen to get the furniture shifted and the patio area tidied up. It's very unloved at the moment and just collects grunge.
Righto, coffee and then off I go. I will throw the hoover around upstairs first. DD tidied her bedroom yesterday and it looks lovely. I told her she couldn't go to the pier party tonight if it wasn't done- mwahahaha!Debt: 16/04/2007:TOTAL DEBT [strike]£92727.75[/strike] £49395.47:eek: :eek: :eek: £43332.28 repaid 100.77% of £43000 target.MFiT T2: Debt [STRIKE]£52856.59[/STRIKE] £6316.14 £46540.45 repaid 101.17% of £46000 target.2013 Target: completely clear my [STRIKE]£6316.14[/STRIKE] £0 mortgage debt. £6316.14 100% repaid.0 -
Morning all. I haven't had time to catch up with the thread so I hope everyone is ok. I've been missing in action working in polluted London again.
This morning, I've changed the bedding on our bed, walked the dogs and hoovered downstairs.
Right, paid stuff now.
Have a great day everyone.Spend less now, work less later.0 -
Hmmm...Not sure what to plan to do today, Fridays are not a very good day for me as I have got to the end of the week and just want to say **** it to everything!
OK - Definitely want to finish the kitchen sink.
- Cobwebbing - everywhere!
- clean the coffee table & coasters
- sort out a box from the spare room**Debt Free as of 15:55 on Friday 23rd March 2012**And I am staying that way

Skint, hope all goes well today.
Kitchen done. Took me 40 minutes but it's worth it! Now gleaming apart from the floor which is in need of another wash and the mats need a beating!
ETA: HHC from 10:00 anyone? I'll be in my bedroom to start
ETA: That HHC became 40 minutes too! Bedroom done. Bed remade and sheets in the washer. Flipped and rotated mattress and hovered both sides. My hoover is now full of an unpleasant white powder *insert green faced smiley here*.
Just having coffee, then off to horspiddle to physio and then to hand in all my documents for my DBS.Debt: 16/04/2007:TOTAL DEBT [strike]£92727.75[/strike] £49395.47:eek: :eek: :eek: £43332.28 repaid 100.77% of £43000 target.MFiT T2: Debt [STRIKE]£52856.59[/STRIKE] £6316.14 £46540.45 repaid 101.17% of £46000 target.2013 Target: completely clear my [STRIKE]£6316.14[/STRIKE] £0 mortgage debt. £6316.14 100% repaid.0 -
Best wishes skinty, calming vibes your way.
A successful morning so far! Went up to town, floor shop had one piece of Lino to fit, £25 and bright yellow, lol. Very kid friendly!
Went into B&M next door and got a cheap SIM and DD two pairs of pumps - tasteless sequin ones for her to play in and some cute spotty ones that I'm happy to let her be seen inshe is wearing one of each at the mo.
I've unlocked my old phone, hurrah, can now sell it, kerching!
Might get the big case out of the loft. Need to strip the beds but they'll never dry today.
Friend has lent me about 20 learn to read books to keep DS busy over the next week. I might download some too, to take on hols...Bossymoo
