Ended up doing 2 x HHC and have done everything on Natty's list apart from some paperwork which I can do later. Going to have lunch and then get on with my typing job.

[STRIKE]Clear anything that shouldn't be where it is, ahem that includes that cup![/STRIKE]
Wipe the bits next to the steps on the stairs, yours might be skirting board, edging of some sort, grab a cloth and give it a wipe

Extra Mission Tasks - as usual if you fancy tackling something else you could try one or more of these

[STRIKE]
• Clean windows in these areas, check curtains/nets/blinds while you are there, do they need a clean?[/STRIKE]
  [STRIKE]
• Check where important documents like passports, birth certificates, driving licences, medical cards are and make a note of where they are and if any need replacing, changing etc[/STRIKE]
• Spend 15 minutes sorting paperwork, dealing with anything urgent NOW
• Clean any ornaments, mirrors, clocks or other dust collecting collections
• Clean out the vacuum cleaner, empty the bag/bucket, clean filters if they are washable MAKE SURE YOU DON'T PUT THEM BACK UNTIL THEY ARE DRY!

I've also emptied the bin in the living room, hoovered the porch and the stairs to the corner step, sorted out "to do list"

Hi all I'm back in after Christmas. Have been flying but sporadically. Kids back at school so in theory should be able to crack on!

Dw emptied and reloaded this morning whilst I threw a chilli in the sc.

Need to put some washing on and clear some gibble from the lounge.

Stairs to hoover.

Have got an hour now til I need to leave to collect kidlets. Anyone around for hhc? X

Ebay parcel packaged.. OH taking it in a mo with Dot.. and buying bread.

DW on

Gammon out for dinner, its already cooked so shouldn't take long and I have new potatoes so will do a potato bake with it I think and I have a few cabbages to use up.. so that's dinner sorted.

I need to get some stuff on ebay asap seeing as my mother appears to have ripped me off for £150 again.. I'm simply not doing the Christmas shopping for her next year she can pi$$ right off..

ooooh.... rage... off on a frenzy.. I might get the front room cleared fully on this one!

Anyone who feels they need to join in please do.. *cracks whip*

I've been going over my budget for the year and its not pretty. I need to "find" (earn, save, use vouchers instead etc) £1200 if I want my overdraft paid off before the end of the year :eek: Considering I haven't been in the black since 1st Oct 2008 I think its time :o I'm just glad that I'll make quicker progress the closer I get to zero as the amount of interest I'm charged monthly (plus eventually the £6 fee) will reduce then disappear as they're currently adding about £430 to my expenses :eek: It'd also go a lot quicker if I wasn't virtually putting away £150 a month for budgeted expenses like uniform/gifts/Christmas If not it could be 2018 before I get there at my current rate.

Tea is on in the SC, dog has been played with a lot, I'm going to print out some bits and pieces I need then get on with more of the paid stuff. Thank goodness DD is home late today as the time is just flying! :wave:

AimingForBetter

Tidying took longer than expected but several things now in garage awaiting CS trip, reasonable amount gone into recycling bin and shelves tidied so things fit in better. Have hoovered each room as much as possible (not moving furniture today). Dryer on again.

Ironing still to do, airing cupboard emptied of ready to go away clothes so the pile is on my bed waiting to be distributed after school run.
