Thanks Buffy - lovely and sunny here today

If you manage all that I've so me here you could do ;-)

And when you've finished at dawnybabe's place please hotfoot it over here as I've always got a 'must do' megalist

Glad to hear you are OK and are set to enjoy a peaceful week without OH. I know exactly what you mean about getting more done when you have the place to yourself. I had a mammoth list last summer when OH went away for a week but very little of it got done:o because it coincided with Wimbledon(which he hates) so I took the opportunity to watch every televised match that I could. Bliss:j

Had a blitz on clearing out the shed yesterday so as to get my carboot stuff organised. Spent ages sorting it all out on the lawn and was a bit surprised this morning to see how red and burnt my arms were:eek: Must get some sunblock, I burn so easily.

Well, I haven't done that well with my list. Naughty me.

However, the bedrooms and ensuite are inspection ready, so I just have to do the lounge/dining room, bathroom and kitchen tonight. I always work best under pressure. I gave myself an hour to do each room this morning (although the bathroom took over that), so will do the same tonight.

Money-wise, I'm going back to basics. I know I've tried it before and failed, but I really need to be doing 100 questions a day. It's not exactly hard work, but it can be very very boring. However, it's my best chance of earning good money (£1,200 a month - way better than surveys and other stuff). I've earned a miserable £80 so far this month (have made money elsewhere though, so that's not all I've got). I'll start doing my 100 questions again tomorrow, so will be looking at getting £480 by the end of the month (might even try to push it to £500 if I can).

I know I can do it if I ditch all the other stuff - it's just forcing myself to get into a routine of doing it daily!! Once I've got some breathing space from the debts/arrears, I can maybe cut it back to 75 questions a day.

House all clean and tidy ready for the inspection tomorrow . Going to do my meds and watch a bit of The Lone Ranger before bed (catching up on my Sky movies at the moment).

Thanks Buffy, but I didn't get everything on the list done. Just basically made the place presentable for the inspection today.

My OH is away this weekend. I may borrow your list to work through as I really want to tackle the house.

Emzilla

Up bright and early again this morning. I think I'll just have to face facts - I'm an early riser.

Anyway, busy day today. The inspection is happening, but I might not be around for it as I've got the hospital at 2pm. Hopefully they'll come this morning as I don't really like the idea of someone letting themselves into my house whilst I'm not there.

It's my dad's birthday today too, so really need to find time to go to the cemetery. He would have been 69.

Also want to go and do some shopping. I've got a £3 off £20 spend voucher at Tesco and also have £6 in Clubcard vouchers, so can get £20 worth of shopping for £11.

Better get on with the questions - I've got 100 to do after all. I've already made a start and am up to 16.
