Thanks RT & Cath
I'm finding it harder than I expected to get motivated this week. I'm getting things done but at a slower pace than I would like really. I guess the important thing is that anything is getting done hey? More sorting and decluttering to do today. Also the ironing pile which I've ignored for 2 days
Small OP of £1.17 this morning (cashback payment arrived)
I need to look into a replacement battery for my laptop as it's running down really fast now (I can barely get 30 mins use out of a full charge). Does anyone have any tips for some good makes?0 -
Good Morning - up early today (well by my standards
) as waiting for some furniture to be collected. Another step in project declutter
The crazy weather continues - it's foggy this morning! Yet still very muggy. Hoping it burns off later
Yesterday I took a break from the spare room stuff - and decided to blitz my 'office' instead. It will actually help as I can use the space I've created when finishing off the other bedroom. Plus I feel much better mentally as well as physically looking better. I even cleaned out my pc. Not only did it have a horrific amount of dust in the case - there were even a couple of cobwebs :eek:. I usually try and clean it once a year but I can't recall when I last did it and it's never been that bad before
Yesterday was a little bit spendy but I've ordered a bday present for the end of this month and also something for an Xmas pressie. I know it's early but I had a money off voucher for a minimum spend - so it made sense to get it now to get the benefit of that.
Nothing to report on the OP or the survey front today - very disappointing :cool:

Phew...I'm shattered!! I've spent all day sorting, tidying and moving things. The spare room is almost finished. Last couple of tasks to do and then it will finally be ready for a bed to go in! Just need to wait for payday to arrive before I can sort that part though
I've got another 3 bags of stuff for the charity shop and also a few items that will go on Ebay
Feel that my sit down on the sofa is well deserved tonight!0 -
Good Morning
It's my last day of 'freedom' today. I know there is still the weekend to go but there is something about being off when everyone else is at work that feels 'better' somehow
Fairly relaxed day on the cards with the only planned activity of meeting a friend for coffee & cake this afternoon
Small OP of £6.57 made today
More :coffee:needed I think!0 -
Had a lovely catch up with my friend
Amazing how good a cuppa and natter can be.
Came home to make butternut squash risotto. Not the same as being in Italy but nice all the same0 -
