Hurrah! First job done (25 mins). I'm going to enjoy the sun for an hour now. Who knows, I might even have a go at a second one later

Hope you enjoyed the sun today

Well done, you :T Plan is knowing which one to tackle first.

Sun, what sun ?? I got drenched walking home from work, (who forgot their brolly ) straight into the shower for me, and now sitting with my feet up, have 3 jobs in mind, dry hair 1st then decide.

Glad your enjoying the sun, glad you've got some sun, sitting on our balcony are we :cool: ?? It's got so dark here might need a lamp on, looks like ready for next downpour.

Edit - right on cue, it's started

Never matters where you start, the trick is to start.

Sorry about no sun. Yes, I have watered the balcony plants, lots about to ripen from radishes to strawberries so looking lovely.

As for jobs, I've written a day next to each ( I'm a planner did you guess?!). Have just completed a second on my list, but as it only took 15 mins if was a bit of a cheat! Do two of twelve crossed off and it's only day one. I'm afraid I also like a list.

I'll get my coat.....

Don't worry about being a planner and the lists "thing". I've got all of that and more - I actually call myself an OCD Hoarder - can't begin to tell you how much work that involves :eek::rotfl::eek: but have been very very good recently getting[STRIKE] rid [/STRIKE] donating loads.

Well I had good intentions and they always say - It's the thought that counts.

First I had to dry my hair, then received a phone call, then got everything ready for 1st job, then Sil called in, stayed a while, phone went again, said I would call them back once Sil left, so done that, then thought - not had my dinner yet :eek: while dinners cooking, folded and put away washing, eat dinner, then dishes, by that time its 9.30pm. I know there's still time . . . . but I'm exhausted !!! still need to make lunch for tomorrow, parcel item sold on ebay ready for posting in the morning.

There's always tomorrow :rotfl:

edit - make that 2 parcels

I can relate to this. I'm permanently exhausted lately.

Lol! I have evenings like that too! I wouldn't have started a job at 9.30p.m, not even a 30 min one! Time to wind down at that point. Hopefully you gave more success tonight. I gave two tasks earmarked for this evening as I will be home quite early and I have dinner prepped so just need to put in oven. Hope you enjoyed your dinner when you got it last night.

New Month, New Me ! ! !

1st on the "list" - Make a List - I work much better that way ! ! !
2nd - Get Organised ! ! !

Feel in total chaos this morning. Have been browsing for a while looking for inspiration, knowing fine well, this is not getting the work done.

Got stung with LP and "lost" about £35, even though it was "free" money and never had it in the 1st place , annoyed with myself for being "greedy" and leaving it there - justincase :mad: So with gusto, this morning have claimed £24 from p/c, and £180 from p/pal, and voucher from e-on still awaited as that scheme has now finished.

Still have £15 on a free "card" which will be used next time shopping (need to find the pincode 1st )

Next will be claiming £80 odds from another survey site. Off to do that now. It's a start

Happy new month AFK!

Ah, the list. Such a great motivator. Sounds like you are on top of things cash-wise :T

Hope you have a productive weekend. I'm planning quite a lazy one as I am on day two of a four day weekend

I wish - on top of £££'s
Great minds and all that - I also have a 4 day weekend this weekend :j Yesterday was a bot* (spelling mistook, but going to leave it, as more appropriate ) of a disaster - went shopping with my mum and then jumped on a bus that said our destination, said to my mum at the time " I've never seen this no bus there " neither had she. Well, all I can say was that 80 mins into the journey - I couldn't see the funny side of it anymore, a journey that should have taken maybe 40 mins or so, took 2 hours. Excuse my french but WT* Driver could have said, best take the other bus that goes straight there !!! not a tour of Lanarkshire and Glasgow before getting there.

Still woke up this morning thinking - I can't believe we were on that bus 2 hours,then had to get another 2 buses after that:eek:, mum said - well at least you got your money's worth :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Staying in today. Rant over.

Happy Long Weekend

Sorry to hear about your tour around the edge of Glasgow!

Need to start on my 30 minute fix list as I only have two things left on it of the 12 I had!
