Hey Rt isn't it.

I can't say I did much of it. But, its a start.

Todays little list looks like this.

Gym - whilst its still free and knee is mending.
Walk - long one I'm 8000k steps off of last week but ones personal best of 127168 so we should smash that today. (fear not dear hearts its the FREE part of my knee rehab).
Tidy out fridge/freezer still stuff in there which is in date but from visitors that we clearly won't eat.
Weigh in at gym, I think might have lost a lb this week. looks like I have
Laundry, need to sort out suit/air stuff for funeral.
Dishwasher
Bedding to wash its a decent if blowy day here
Chooks/mutts fed stage one do again later.
Some life admin.
Meal plan for next week - try and use up from freezer.
Meals from stores today, DH is away and not sure when he returns but he's usually too tired or too hungry. So something that will keep until tomorrow if needed.
Wood chopping, desperately needs done, the free pallets are taking over the garden, and whilst wonderful in the winter, not adding much to the general design flow of the garden.
Post two parcels

Well so far so good. I guess I'll chuck 'banks' in there too. Not looked at them in over a week at least. (insert blue shreeky face)

Hope you all have a good day. And do something fun for yourselves.

I bought myself a second hand jigsaw £2.99 I know how to live, so I might do some of that.

£500 to credit card for petrol/shopping etc general stuff.

£200 to dd to uni account for next month, trying to get organised and have one in the bank ahead of time.

Working extra to cover holidays this month so I'll have some extra to play with.

Must write womble invoice too.

DD set up for credit card I hardly use, but missed last months payment (£7). Whoops. Also cleared balance.

Not giving myself a hard time about it, but I really should have a contingency in plan like a min payment dd.

doh.

Morning Pips!

That's an ambitious list!

We've done a little gardening just to tidy it up - garden is waiting on a man with a power tool to trim the hedges (he comes with the rent so very :money:)...

Have balanced the books & shuffled money - we are currently short one paycheque as it seems OH has not been paid - something about the taxman mistakenly freezing his boss's payroll account...:mad:

There was a time this would have caused panic but atm it is just a money shuffle so its a small life victory!:T:T:T

Think there will be about 550 that can go to the card :D:D

Other then that today is a sit back and watch catch-up on the box! with a bit of laundry & ironing on the side!:rotfl:

Pippilongstocking

Gym done (1hr) and lunch scoffed (grilled cod, tomatoes and new potatoes with some chipotle and a miso soup because I was impatient)

Washing out next.

Dug out some mince/fish from freezer will start a meal plan around those.

Pippilongstocking

Waves to RT annoying about OH's wages but great that you've a cushion.

As for ironing. As we all know, I'm allergic and am notoriously scruffy so I'll use that as an excuse. Although might pull it out for Wed.

Hedge being cut - woop woop - I really need to do mine.

And yup get my washing hung up. Wont dry itself eh.

Have a good un.

As for the list, well I'm off til Thursday this week so we'll see how I go.

Slowly slowly catchy monkey.

Eh up Mrs Stripes! LOVING your courgette theme - can't argue with a courgette or several!

Ironing...I did some last night. Don't fall over.

Ironing? :eek: If something needs ironing (wedding, funeral, graduation type events) I take it to the dry cleaners and have them do it. :T I loath, hate and detest ironing!
