Morning all, didn't manage a lie-in again today - yesterday I forgot to switch the alarm off, today the dog decided to threw up at 6.30 :cool: Maybe tomorrow

So todays plan - this morning I am gutting the garage, doing a couple of trips to the tip with the old junk etc, then I have my eye test at 2.20, I need to collect Mum from her friends at 4.30 and then we're going round to Mums for tea, as ds has to write a biography about her for his English homework, so he has to interview her first
I also need to post an ebay parcel if the buyer bothers to pay - this is the second time I've sold the item and its been 24 hours so far, I don't get why people bid if they don't then want to buy it
It's actually ds's item so the money will be going into his account if they pay up. Mortgage Total: £50,720/ £75,000

Whoop whoop garage is done - not exactly sparkly (it's a garage
) but I can now get the car in and out without nearly scraping against everything, the camping stuff is all neatly boxed away, the car boot stuff is all tidily together, the floor has been swept to within an inch of its life and we have done 3 trips to the tip
Just having a well deserved cuppa then hitting the shower. It feels so good to get that one ticked off the list and we're not even halfway through the week yet

Eye test went well - they said my eyesight is excellent for my age
As I have my tax credit exemption card they recommended I get some glasses as I am a bit long-sighted, the frames were £89, I had the coating stuff put on (£30) and altogether because of the tax credit voucher it only cost me £55
I collect them next tuesday.
I also took the car through the car wash and hoovered it inside, so that's another thing ticked off the list today
Need to go and collect Mum and her friend in about an hour then will be going round to Mums.Mortgage Total: £50,720/ £75,000

Morning all, meeting up with a friend and her kids today not sure of the arrangements yet though. Other than that Mr S is coming round after work, he's painting all my doors for me, was supposed to be doing it before he moved out but never did, but has said he'll do them this week for me.
Need to get some bits in Tesco later and do some general housework bits (washing,hoovering etc). Ds needs to crack on with some homework later too.Mortgage Total: £50,720/ £75,000
