Unfortunately we lost 4-0 today too (to Man City), I didn't expect to get anything from todays game so I don't feel too bad. Next week we have got Villa so hoping for 3 points there

Bristol had the same result, sigh.

So, Mr S has painted all my doors except ds bedroom as the footie was about to start, so I need to do that one today. He has also redone my hallway and kitchen so they look lovely again, and has done thee loft hatch too. I stayed at his last night due to the amount of wet paint everywhere, and the plan today is to get everything back to where it should be, or stored neatly in the garage or taken to the tip.

So far it's going well, I have taken three loads of stuff down to the garage / car for the tip. The washing machine is doing its thing, the windows are all open to try and clear the smell of the paint

I stopped at Morrisons this morning as Mr S needed some milk and I got lucky as the reductions were being done at that time. I got a bag of broccoli (£1 reduced to 25p) a bag of chopped carrots (£1 reduced to 25p), a bag of baby new potatoes in herby butter (£1 reduced to 25p), a tray of Mediterranean roasting veg (£2.75 reduced to 25p), some beef mince (reduced from £2.50 to £1.25) and a few other non reduced bits, the total came to £5.49 and I got 2 x £2 coins in my change which will go into my £2 savings jar

Morning all, my little monkey is coming back from his grandparents at lunchtime today, am excited have missed him loads The plan before then is as follows:

• Clear all rubbish to the tip
• Take another load of stuff to the garage
• Remake ds bed
• Clean bathroom window
• Clean front door
• Clean bathroom
• Wash my hair
• Call man re. fixing front door
• Pay in cheques
• Measure blind for ds room

My list of stuff to do is definitely getting smaller now, lucky really as I only have until friday to get it all completed

Very productive day so far - everything on the list is done The man is coming to look at the door at 4.30, Mr S had the day off unexpectedly so he is finishing the painting / sorting my velux windows etc. Ds is back home and all is good

The door man came, sorted the door, £78 in total for callout, parts and labour, happy days I now have a front door that shuts properly again :T :T

Tonight I need to figure out what is left to be done, plan a course of action for the remaining tasks and begin to look a bit closer at the mortgages pages again :eek:

Morning all, carpet man phoned and they are coming on saturday to do it :j :j Mum will be here as I have the small matter of a game at Aston Villa that day

I was supposed to be meeting a friend today but she is not well, so now am going to take ds and the dog up the forest for some fresh air and maybe a pub lunch

We went to a local town and had a bag of chips and sat by the Quay to eat them, it was lovely and sunny and we walked the dog. As we got back to the car it started to rain and has chucked it down ever since :cool:

Anyway, we're back indoors in the dry now, the dog is sleeping, ds is on his computer - I will start nagging about homework again in a bit but until then it's peace and quiet

Hope you didn't get too wet and that DS did his homework!
