The Spreadsheet Diva's MF Diary

Karmacat

Honestly, I think its worth it, even if its only every other month - all that big stuff - 9 toilet rolls, a big box of dishwasher tabs, a dozen packets of pasta, kilos of frozen veg, it really mounts up, its nothing that you need to personally choose, so why not make them do all the faffing? For £1, its really worth it, I think, even at my income level an awful lot of time and energy are saved.

Day 11
What a busy day it just flew by in a whirr of baking and flour, very MSE.
I made cottage pie, ginger cake, 2 cheesecakes, blanched my weight in Brussels and have enough blanched carrots to feed Santa's lot for the winter lol. Oh decorated front room (tree still to do) and put up some outside lights

OH off tomorrow and has suggested we go visit a local garden centre which is great but it remains to be seen if it actally happens. It does ihim good to get out but it is hard work to get him to do it.

DD getting on great in the big city and did some herself but put a knife through her silicone tray, not sure how but she did lolol.........off to catch up now

DR order came expensive bit sooooooo gorgeous

Just read your diary as you've been contributing to mine although I don't usually read anything mentioning "spreadsheet" in the title, for it usually means the author is far too organised ...

Hope everything goes well tomorrow.

Are you going to breathe any time soon? :eek::eek::eek:

I'm obviously completely out of the swing of things but I have no idea who B*M is Just sussed P*ts at h*me - you've taken a lot of care over that post! I never do that I can't be arrised ...

Seriously, I hope you get done the things that are important to you, and that you have some together time with OH before you get to sleep tonight.

SueP19

LOL am sure it will all come out in the wash. B&M great store, like Poundland but tad more expensive and bigger

I would like to say it's because i leave everything to last minute but I always seem to have loads to do, OH contribution to Xmas was buy me some flowers, bless him, it was a lovely thought

DD is going off on one by text :mad::mad: After an hour of her ranting I have had to tell her to stop it, all I want to do is smack her *rse, welcome to the real world and to be honest (now for my rant) You all didn't give cr*p about how I felt all these years over my job, so man up......................but of course like a lovely mummy I am placating her with soft platitudes which will not be good enough

Hi Sue

I haven't got a diary (or a mortgage any more - paid off in 2009 - we are old gits) but I do enjoy reading some of them.

Just read yours and you have had a lot to contend with but I am sure you will achieve your goals. Best of luck.

You said you received a parking ticket when you went to London. Hope you haven't paid it yet. If it was a council ticket, get yourself over to https://www.pepipoo.com who specialise in challenging unfair council tickets. You will to sign up and post up scans of both sides of your ticket. If it was a private ticket (i.e. speculative invoice), go to the parking ticket sub-forum in the Motoring section of MSE. Read the "NEWBIE" sticky a the top of the forum first and then start a thread if necessary. Nearly all unfair tickets can be overturned with the correct appeal.

Hope that helps.
