Hi all

Legomum- much better thank you.
Ratison - I think it's fine to be proud of your saving up for the bathroom. Well done.
Foxgloves - sorry your car repair cost so much more than budget. Also so mad on your behalf that the stupid get that hit you on the motorway has caused such a lot of damage on top of what you were aware of.
Twiggy -.congrats to your friend

Maria - well done on your shopping to budget.
La Esco - congratulations on your new house

Dawn - hope your dog is looking suitability gorgeous post pampering.

Hi folks, CCL - any update on your Dad
Sorry folks - I've not really had a chance to read - will do this when DH is watching EastEnders


Proactive MSE-ing

• All meals from stores - done
• Deal with complaint to I*ea re mattress - DH wasn't up to much last night (bad knee day) - done
• I have a phone number I need to call about Dad's pensions from many moons ago - will do this today - not done - back on list for tomorrow

Winter prep

• Make up Black out box & put in newly cleared space in living room unit (I have all the stuff - it's just not all together) - I will start this tonight - oh no I won't

Christmas prep

• Dig out Christmas card box and put into Christmas shelf in spare room - I'm collating all stuff together - means I don't have to hunt stuff out later on - done & also found pressies in the possible present box that have been moved to the Christmas shelf

Round tuits

• Clean out a couple of drawers in living room unit - a definite today - I lied

Good habit forming (28 days to set a habit into daily routine or something like that - I'm going for 1 a week)

• Post on here once a day 8/28
• Get up at 6 am on work days (rather than the 6.45 where I roll out of bed / into shower and off to work in 15 minutes) 1/28

Happy cheapness and freeness

• On to series 4 of "The Walking Dead" - as we speak - the Zombies have invaded the prison

Painful - but gotta be done

• Ironing - thankfully not much but still yeuch - done
• Check banks for direct debits going out and look at bills - must do
• Clean out another kitchen cupboard to up the Mins game total (remember - I have loads of junk and I haven't Kon Maried yet so this should really not be too hard for me) - yep

Mins game - 35/465

• 10 mugs - there are only 2 of us & I still have enough to have a teaparty
• 2 ramekins - they must breed
• 2 martini glasses - never drunk it
• 1 champagne glass - I'm not a champagne kind of bird
• 3 books - DH is not a reader but I am so when all the colleagues in his work were reading a book & raving about it he bought me the trilogy - 50 shades of grey anyone? I did say thank you & I did try to read the first one - but really not my style of reading - sorry

So off just now to catch up & check the banks


Take care y'all


How could I forget? Co-op called me, apologised & gave me a goodwill payment as an apology.
And have an emergency day's holiday on Wednesday - 1 tonne of logs being delivered for the winter.

In relation to the homeless thing- myself n my husband have to both work extremely hard to keep our little house. As I'm sure all the working couples on here would agree.

Hi everyone
I have survived the day :j reasonably intact. The classes were reasonably quiet and most went well. I am very tired, and my brain just will not work as I want it to. I keep forgetting words for things and what I'm saying as I'm saying it. Ah well. I'm done for the day, showered and in bed ready to head off to the land of nod.
Thanks everyone for the kind words and wishes for my dad. I spoke to him after work this afternoon, and he sounded absolutely fine thankfully. Says he's feeling totally normal, but is listening to the advice he was given by the doctor about looking after himself a bit better. He has an outpatients appointment tomorrow so we'll see what happens there.
