    Bought a job lot of stock from another dealer
    Still got paperwork to do

    Apologies for going AWOL, normal service will be resumed from September as we're off to America tomorrow. Have been keeping the DFW faith and am feeling lighter and brighter than I have in a long time - life feels good.

    Catch you all in September, love and best wishes to you all x

    Good idea Bob.
    Packed lunch for work
    Whoop got paid today - filled up car and got a few bits of shopping
    Ordered a replacement screen for my phone for £4 fingers crossed it does the trick and don't have to take it to get fix at a shop for £40��
    Sold two items on eBay must parcel up before I go to bed
    Relisted Facebook sales
    Checked postcode lottery / market research jobs
    DH has been researching car hire in Spain to try and not get ripped off with insurance extras this year

    Well think that's it for now

    Thanks everyone. DW and I spent most of the day asleep on the sofa. Hopefully we can have a nice day together tomorrow.

    Morning all :hello: just enjoying 5 minutes peace with a cuppa and a catch up on here before everyone else gets up. I've already checked my utilities bill that came this morning and logged it on my sheet. Wish we didn't need to use any electric in the day it's soooo much cheaper at night :) also done my banking, last DD for the pay period paid gone and still bills account in (very, very small) credit and so is spends account :j both will get swiped to savings before payday. Made a pad to savings and started it in a new pot - so I now have 0.24% towards our new lounge window :rotfl:

    Other things for today:
    Freezer dive for something for lunch to work, plus bottle (tap) water from fridge and snacks
    DH to make tea with some of left of lamb, rest for freezer
    Check bank accounts on here so I know which one to open once new mortgage payment is set up, plus will likely do some sort of reward credit card for when we need to buy online (and pay off straight away) and then I can cancel our 2 with zero balance on
    Quick fly lady of bathroom
    Check annoying things list and see how I'm doing in August and what I have left, try and do one thing or at least some of it.

    Enjoy your day folks, think it'll be warm :D
  • Morning all :wave: :coffee:
    I had an early night last night and as a result have earned some 'me' time this morning while everyone else is still in bed. Happy days. I'm just enjoying a cuppa before I start. I didn't get very much done yesterday so lots of my list will be carried over...


    [STRIKE]:) check banking and PAD[/STRIKE]
    :) clean the bathroom
    :) post a parcel that needs doing desperately
    [STRIKE]:) take the kids out pokemon hunting
    :) declutter one area that's been getting to me[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]:) nap if I need to
    :) crochet[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]:) try and remain calm...[/STRIKE]

    So today's list (looking a bit samey)
    :cheesy: check banking and PAD
    :cheesy: clean the bathroom
    :cheesy: post this parcel
    :cheesy: take the kids out pokemon hunting
    :cheesy: crochet
    :cheesy: hoover through
    :cheesy: load of washing done and out to dry on the line
    :cheesy: make something useful out of freezer leftovers
    :cheesy: nag dh to hand his holiday forms in.

    Have a good day everyone!
