£3 Amazon voucher redeemed from Swagbucks, I'll chuck it in my amazon account with the others and this will all either (a) help with Christmas coming up or (b) let me treat myself now and then to something from my wishlist

Morning, today I need to post the ebay parcels and I'm going out for coffee and cake with a couple of friends from work. The house is tidy, I might do some cleaning later on, the dishwasher is on and the shower curtain is in the washing machine.

Still on the hunt for the final £26 of this month to meet my goal for my brothers fund, each month I'm going to need to find £500 to go in there (£350 comes straight from my wages, so really I need to find another £150), then anything else I make will go in the holiday fund, although I have been looking and am stuck for inspiration. We're very limited as I won't fly and it needs to be something that will interest us both. Then again, I've got plenty of time to come up with something

So I've waited in all day today, (Mum came round when I popped out for coffee with a friend), and the UPS guy still hasn't been to collect the tickets The booking says they will be here between 9-5, I've just gone on their livechat and been told they collect until 5.30, which gives them another 34 minutes to turn up ... I will not be impressed if they don't come, what's the betting?? :cool:

Morning, ds has been struggling to get up for his paper-round over the last week or two, and we realised it's because I'm not getting up at my normal time so he's drifting back off to sleep. So, today I said I'd get up at 6.30 too. It definitely helped him and once I was up I found my mojo and have done the following so far today:

Cleaned the bathroom
Cleaned my bedroom
Cleaned the upstairs windows (inside and the bits I could reach outside)
Cleaned the kitchen
Mopped the kitchen / bathroom / conservatory floors
Put all rubbish / recycling out
Put all clean washing away
Dusted the conservatory (yet another million dead flies and bugs)
Filled the dishwasher
Put all random diy stuff away in the garage
Emptied the fridge of all the old food

I still have various bits and pieces to do, (clean the downstairs loo, hall, hoover through etc). Also today I want to get ds uniform bits sorted.

All my windows have now been cleaned :T :T The hall and downstairs loo are done and I've hoovered. So, the rest of the day involves sorting ds school uniform and sorting the banking yet again. I also am going to gut my clothes, I have far too many that I never wear. At least if I can see what there is I might wear them! I also have already separated out a lot of the ones that don't fit. I yo-yo regularly so I'm not chucking them but they are all boxed up under my bed waiting for me to shift the weight yet again

I need to set myself up with a new monthly ticksheet for banking and another weekly / monthly one for housework. It is so much nicer when everything feels up together and done

Yesterday I bought the ketchup that was a freebie through clicksnap, there are a few other bits and pieces on shopmium I need to go and get too.
