    phew have made it through to lunch time. why is coming back to work after a break such hard work? i have carried through the flying and my office is soooo tidy. OK the drawers are now frogs but I can cope with 6 drawers to work my way through. And best of all... when counting number of messy drawers in need of a declutter I found a receipt for £128 I can claim back from work. Phew! I really thought I'd lost that amongst all the Christmas mayhem and work is mega strict about having a receipt to claim against.

    Ok just got in from work. Scoffed some lunch now to commence the list whilst waiting for grocery delivery. What's the betting they turn up at 3 and make me late for the school run?

    Welcome to all the new flyers and those returning to the thread after an absence.
  • Not really done much off list, but have been to work this morning and taken decs down in dining room, hubby as taken them down from outside :( (such a sad time) gutted dining room, emptied dw just need to re fill now and sort kitchen out.


    Will do paperwork while DS2 is at dance, take laptop etc with me, need pop bank, but he's there for 2 hours, and it never seems worth coming home, you never know what traffic will be like (20 mins on a good night) and i'd hate to be late for him, so going start making good use of my time, instead of sitting in mac d's or wondering around shops and spending money I don't need to spend.

    thanks for all the welcomes:T

    so far today I have:

    walked the dog
    WM x 2
    TD on
    paid work

    Have just had lunch and now off to do the kitchen. ds2 is off school sick and ds1 walked to school and will walk back so no school runs to do which will give me longer

    nikki when we had our boiler serviced a couple of years ago by british gas they didn't condemn the boiler but said changes needed to be made as regulations had changed. none of these affected the running of the boiler and since BG failed to service the boiler properly and it was pumping out carbon monoxide we have a detector. We had the boiler serviced again by an independent gas company and none of the changes were mentioned. Was BG trying to pull a fast one? Glad you have got your boiler sorted.
    saving for ds2's summer international scout camp - £200
    £60 deposit paid :j £100 paid:j £40 paid:j

    Think I may pinch your 5 resolutions LJK, if that's OK please - but I won't join with the Spanish!

    A good deed a day could just be passing the time of day with an elderly person. I find in the ch shop they often like to have a little chat.
    That's great JTTOU as I would appreciate a bit of support. I am learning Spanish but maybe you can find something new to learn ? And it's strange but with the GD thing it seems because I am thinking about it that chances are appearing everywhere - karma?


    Just going to declutter a :coffee: and then I think finish the kitchen.


    Anyone up for an HH something at 3.30 ?
