£149.27 in the oil fund account.

Just to remind me.

I'm ignoring how ironic this is with the tank really full.

:jHooray to flights to places not here! Hooray to visits to places over there!:j

You are going to love every minute of it! We want piccies!

Can you tell that we (OH & me too) are very very very excited for you!:D:D:D

hey up lovelies.

Fly lady first.

What I'm learning about flylady is that certain days mean certain things - Mondays are 'house blessing days' when you skoot round and do no more than an hour giving the house a wee spruce up. I'm not sure that this works on a monday for me, so I do it when I can.

Mission today, we are now in the main bedroom.

This week we are in the Master Bedroom. Today I want you to spend 15 minutes under your bed. Take this time to get the things out from under the bed that you have shoved under there during a mad stash and dash through the house. 15 minutes might not be enough, but for today, just try to put a dent in the stuff that you have put there. Things that just don't belong. If you don't have anything under your bed, then grab a vacuum cleaner or broom and get the dust bunnies that have been multiplying under there. Have fun with this, just 15 minutes.



My main bedroom is now decluttered and tidy from weekend visitors.

So I'm doing my spare room this week instead as its clutter butter central. Everything in the universe is in that room. Can't see we'll get done in this week, but happy to start doing a bit more in there.

goodluck.

RT thank you DH and DS and I discussed it as I was putting more reduced stuff in the cupboards. DS said, so where are you going next, I'm assuming that these savings mean more travel treats.

He's a good one and I promise lots of piccies when we eventually go.

Cheery the goodlad was indeed very helpful in discussions (we even had a coffee out, you know in a coffee shop on his way to the train yesterday.)

Thanks!! Hes now back in uni land staying with a chum and flat hunting.

Yesterday was also 'lets have a date now the visitors have gone' night.

We watched Everest - which is good but puts me off climbing anything gigantic ever.

No reduced bits to report. Aside one coffee and 22 petrol a NSD - kinda.

Today is work, list and more work.

I'm with you cheery - I've a bed jammed with stuff so much it kind of oozes out the edges.

And the wardrobe (thing like a wardrobe) is oozing too.

And the baskets are propped up on boxes at the side of the wardrobe, also oozing.

Instead of a fling in cupboard, I have a whole room.

:eek::eek::eek:

But, fly lady would let me just do small bits and not get overwhelmed.

I like fly lady.

Good luck with yours!

chicken carcass out of freezer with 1.5 portions of precooked rice. I'm thinking something fried rice ish for tea.

Also took out a few chinese dumlings too. We'll have a mini-dim sum fest tonight. Will boil chicken bones when home and get what meat I can off it.

Also have eggs to use up so all good.

Monday - just us (chicken fried rice, dumplings)
Tues - same just us - bacon/courgette/tom pasta?
Wed - DH has rehearsal, I might see if DD is free in city
Thurs - just us...ponders
Fri - not sure if DS back.....chum is also having a wee birthday party for her little girl, might pop in.
Weekend - not a clue yet, so far no plans.

To use up in fridge we have courgettes, bacon, cheese and a chicken to go in freezer. Lots of stuff in freezer. Including a chicken now.
