Hi to all - I haven't been able to get on to post, or even look at the posts for the last few days - but Dustykitten I haven't got a pink mini - I can't drive yet. Though the thought of a pink mini with a cherished plate....
Still Diet Coke free, enjoying the posh teabags and feeling gooooooood! I don't know how long that will last. DS is playing on the playgym. He was out for the count when the small tabby tried to jump on the computer desk and sent a load of stuff crashing around!
Have a great week all.
HevAlways another chapter0 -
Borderlakland, if you 'Go Advanced' rather than 'Quick Reply' there's a little struck through S button. Just use this on any highlighted words.
I do believe I've done the kitchen. The oven took all of 10 mins! That's 'cos I'm swotty and do it every week.
No dining room but I gave the pantry the once over. I haven't done any of the 'extras' either.
Five (count 'em..) things to iron. Gonna do it now before it becomes ten...One debt v 100 days Part 14 £400/£400
One debt v 100 days Part 13 £329.66/£380

hollyh I did the same with my driving licence, sent away for it 8 weeks before it was due up I think, just never got round to it, make sure you get it sent off ASAP, when I rang they said it can take 4-6 weeks just to process it and allow for that!
Hev, wondered where you had got to, pleased to hear you are keeping it up with the diet coke!!! Well done!!!
Dusty hope you get it sorted soon, bet you're pleased you checked. Part of what puts me off going abroad is we'd all need passports!!
Right I did most of my 'to do' list today, quite impressed with my little self. Turtle tank now set up so just got to give it 4-5 days to sort itself out then we'll be going to get them. I did however not do a couple of the jobs, some will get (hopefully) done tomorrow, lawns will have to wait until I get the time seeing as I know where the shed keys are now. DP working all the day shifts this week aswell as his usual ones with the boss being away so peace and quiet!!!
Tomorrow looks something like this for me
Dailies - laundry, downstairs floors, S&S bathroom, dog duties, meals, bins emptied, washing up, school runs
Monday kitchen/dining area list
Call dentist see if it's ok for me to sit and wait to be seen (hurting too much now so had enough)
Sort through 1 (hopefully more) laundry drawer
Clear the rubbish out of my room
More laundry, 2 to wash and dry, more to put away still
Empty fridge and wipe out
Start on lawns - DPs bro bringing their petrol strimmer over tomorrow after work so can make a start on it - yes it is that bad!!!
Night time routine inc uniforms sortOne day I might be more organised...........

Lol, I always feel like that too. New week, new start, forget everything I didn't do the previous week xxJanuary budget

AnWsmum we go to France whent he kids break up in 2 weeks. Problem is DS3 is going away with Gran and Great Aunt to eurodisney this week for 2 nights so I can't send the passport off as he needs it. DH will have to go next week to get it before we go. We are half way between Peterborough and London but he will go to London as there is more to do in the 4 hour wait! Managed to get an alternative number to the 0870 one so at least that was moneysaving.
Right Mum gone home now after dinner so just need to get very tired kids to bed and then get the uniform ironed. See you all late.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
