Tuesday 17th November - What small DFW things will you do today?

DawnW

Update:

List for today:
Reduced croissants from Lidl for breakfast - special treat as very fattening (I didn't have butter with mine though :A)
Check banks Done, had to move some money :eek:
Dog walks x 2 Done
Market for fruit and veg, pick up some fish fingers from Iceland for GD's lunch tomorrow. Fish fingers and broccoli with tomato ketchup are her current favourites apparently :rotfl: Also need rice cakes (useful for thickening soups as well as snacks) Done
Pop into sales unit to see if anything has sold (I wouldn't bother, but it is right next door to the market site) a few small items had sold Swapped some things round
Sort out spare room / beds Done
General tidy round, get OH to help with both of these! Sort of done Probably best to do it AFTER baby GD has been here though, thinking about it :rotfl:
Any surveys, FPL, postal survey tasks etc Done
Decluttering - completely forgotten where I had got to with Mins totals But I have identified a top already this morning; that can go to the CS, as there is nothing wrong with it, just too big for me! Not yet found anything else but the night is young Got my eye on a nice, but unfortunately cracked, cut glass jug
HM meals from stores Done
Put away all the washing I did yesterday (and hung outside), which finished off drying overnight on the airer A few more things to put away, which weren't dry enough this morning
Try and sort out the printer, which apparently has an 'error' :mad: I have a nasty feeling I am going to have to reinstall the software Done, managed to avoid messing about with the software Needs a new ink cartridge though
If I succeed, finish printing out car insurance documents Done, filed
More washing :eek: Not done yet, but will sort shortly

Wood burner not alight yet, but probably will be shortly - it is really windy here, and pours with rain every now and then
I have had to move and secure things in the garden to avoid them being blown about and damaged (hopefully) :eek:

Evening all
Thanks for all kind words. I'm doing fine - not unwell just tired and a bit grumpy generally. The kids at school are hard work this week which isn't helping - and being tired is just making me less likely to stay on top of the workload.
Ally, princesspea (and anyone else not doing so well at the moment) I hope you're better soon.

mark a set of books :(:(
try not to lose my temper

I have also:
written a nice email to Morrisons after they were so helpful to me last night
kept on top of the 'little things' at work but no marking
not stressed at home (although work is another story)


The end of November is almost in sight now as far as I'm concerned. Less than a fortnight until payday. I don't think I've ever gotten this far into the month with YNAB still matching my bank balance :j so I'll call that a win.

Kayannie, thank you for the freebies

Done quite a bit today but ran out of time to get the cupboards finished, so the room looks like a bombs hit but shouldn't take long to finish tomorrow.
Lots of stuff to be recycled/cs/given a new home inc Zumba instruction dvds (I stopped doing classes at least 2 yrs ago so about time, everytime I opened the cupboard and saw them they've been a constant reminder of an unhappy time), a peppa pig game (ds is 7 now and I don't think he'll play it again!) a case for a tablet that broke in the summer, lots of paper shredded etc
DH got home from work 2hrs earlier then normal as he needed to go to see the nurse at the drs for his flu jab, so we all ate tea together which was nice as we only usually get to do that at the weekends.
1 lot of bath water did the four of us :money: Lucky for me, I was in first! :T

I think that's all for today, sleep well all!

CCl that's definitely a win! well done
