Great bargain - shame about the cancelled item, however it was not to be.

Know what you mean by mulling things over, sometimes it just takes a moment to
tell yourself off and get on with it, nobody else is going to do it for you.

Ashamed to say I am still mulling over whether I go into work tomorrow or not,
was meant to be going in today just for a few hours but have decided - I'm not.
At least it wasn't really to work but just to get the gist/info on things, which I can
do next weekend.

Lovely sunny morning here, but can see a touch of frost on the cars.

Have a great day and best of Luck with your blogging :j

Good Morning all,

Well I went into work Monday and so glad I did, as I received very good news :j

Seems they were not expecting me in work this week coming so I said I would
go in next Friday as they were short, and they gave me yesterday off in exchange :T

I am now officially a part timer :beer:

One day off and I feel that it was a week I got so much done and took my time
doing it. Kitchen cleaned, floor done Bedroom drawers and wardrobe decluttered,
that includes, bags, shoes, brollys (had 6 of them !!! well with our weather !!!)
I just need to persuade someone to go to a boot sale with my treasures now.
Windows cleaned (got a new V@x window cleaner given to me), wow was I impressed.

Bathroom all cleaned and sparkling saw some new towels which I would like, do I need
them, no - - I have 3 sets brand new, but I would like a change in colour and these are really lovely. Will mull it over :think:

Have a ton of thoughts in my mind as what I am now going to do with all my spare :eek: time,
and although I know this enthusiasm will not last, I am enjoying it while I can

So I have to say a massive big Thank You to Bexster :happyhear who planted the seed and encouraged
me to think about part-time hours, so I could start the new chapter in my life, never thought it would be possible :happyhear
So a Big Thank You Bexster :T :A :beer:

Sorry, AFK, I missed your post last sunday.
:beer:hurrah for part time!

I am delighted for you! It has been a very long time coming. You are very welcome, though I think the credit lies firmly with you. :T

You may be surprised how long the momentum lasts. When you can do as much as you like, there is no hurry. I love having my place clean and tidy and all the washing done before the weekend. So this morning so far I have finished reading an ebook ( library, so free) and started a new one! Beyond that I've had breakfast and a shower.



I have lazy days / half days but they get boring so I want to do stuff. Stuff on the house/ going out for walks/ coffee with friends/ decluttering/ work development etc.

I can spend weekends with my OH when he's not at work ( he has a " normal" job) and not worry about what I'm not doing. I look forward to hearing all the great things you do ( and all the great hours you waste away!!) in the coming months. Have a fabulous week off xx



P.S buy the damn towels....

Bexster - have a ton of "things" I would like to buy, but had a good chuckle with your commentwith my towels. I suppose I am just used to "liking" things but not allowing myself to buy them,
during my MF journey.
Times are changing . . . :j

Thank you ElmoR, I have waited for this for which seems a very long time, but is here now

Sunny day here but cold, and am ready to go shopping. Enjoy your weekend.

Peeing down here. OH wants to go to lunch and charity shop shopping ( I think I have converted him!)

I may suggest tomorrow. See if you can get a deal on the towels ( or cashback) but if you love them, and they are not very pricey, go for it

Enjoy your shop. Sunshine forecast here tomorrow

I love charity shop looking, got my best buy ever in a CS once and am still using it now.

Would have cost over £200+ in the shop but because it didn't come in its box, it was a steal
at £20 but still in the wrapper :money:

Frosty this morning but still lovely and sun beating through the window with hardly a cloud to be seen.

My bedroom is [STRIKE] now[/STRIKE] almost completely free of clutter, forgot about a couple of boxes under my bed. Won't take long to do that, think its just a couple of jigsaws and puzzles.

Enjoying my 1st day of freedom and its all part of my new part time working week.
I think it has just suddenly dawned on me - what this means, I waited so long for it,
reality will hit when I actually have to go to work :rotfl:

All you part timers / short working weekers and a/l days off - enjoy !!!

ps Forgot to say, bought a couple of jumpers, handbag, christmas present and a t-shirt
when shopping - no towels - yet

Good morning

I'm delighted to see a late post this am. Didn't find much in the charity shops. Did get a silk/cotton mix shirt for £4 and a new long sleeved top in cotton and modal for £2.99. Had a lovely breakfast though, then a walk around the market. Popped over to other nearby town for charity shop mooch too. I'm working for a few hours this afternoon but it has been cold but beautiful here this morning. Will be finished at a reasonable hour this evening, in time for home made soup with homemade cheese and bacon croutons. At least I didn't have to scrape the car this morning, with not needing it until after 1 pm!

Good luck with the decluttering, I've had a slow morning with a bit of tidying up and reading. Am hoping for two days off at the end of this week ( not including the weekend )

Have a fab day AFK!

Was still up at around the same time as if I was going in to work, so was stopping for a t-break,some things wont change :rotfl:

Turns out only 4 jigsaws, but 1 not used and is a limited edition still in cellophane (wonder if it's worth anything . . .)

You got some great buys at your CS, I'm more into the furniture etc,etc. Got a lovely "N3xt"
mirror, cathedral style for a £5, once. Gave it to DB for above his fireplace which just finished it off.
However once he decided to put his large tv on the wall, I said I'll take it back (had moved house, by
then) No fears, it was going in his porch/entrance hall

Bought ingredients for HM soup and got another fantastic bargain at Mr M's - they have their
Salmon cut on special just now - most delicious cut of meat ever, with no fat/waste :j

Ha ha, very funny - not including the weekend :rotfl::rotfl:

Next room - spare room :eek: but delaying as its at the back of the house (which means - no sun):(
Off to start - next room.

Have a great afternoon/night.

Hooray for part time working :j:j:j

I'm off this week so need to try and stay out of the shops. I'm constantly resisting the urge to spend money on new towels. I have about 4 different sets already :eek:
