Quite pleased with mornining's effort- off to work this afternoon after early lunch0 -
Just having a cheese and beetroot sandwich and then I'm going to do the ironing.
I've done the kitchen, utility room and dining room and have even done a bit in the lounge. :j
This is only because I've been getting into the habit of daily S&S'ing and it's really making a difference to how our little house looks.
And that's all thanks to this list and everyone on it who contributes such great ideas of jobs to be done and support when we need it. :T
I have to ring our health insurance people about the next step now I've had my consultation, been putting it off for a week. I hate talking on the phone to people when I'm not really sure of what I'm saying and what the procedures are! :eek:...it is not of more importance than daily life, which I have an enduring wish to make as useful and beautiful as possible.

Poohbear - ((hugs)) sorry to hear about your dad.
Dailys are done (of a fashion - all the pre-home-time ones are anyway) and there is a wash load in the machine.
Nearly had a heart attack before when I went to switch the washing machine on and nothing happened. I tried again, still nothing. Tried the kettle and that wouldn't work. Checked the fuse box and as far as I could see (its located by the ceiling) nothing had tripped - checked other rooms and everything was off so I had to go and get the step ladder and climb up to have a look. The main fuse on the fusebox itself had trippedNo idea why but everything is okay now, except OH will have to reset the radioalarm in the bedroom as I get so frustrated with it that I end up swearing and wanting to throw it across the room
:rotfl::rotfl:
I just can't get motivated to clean the kitchen today. Infact I can't get motivated to do much except curl up and sleep so I'm off to Aldi to see if they have any of that bakeware left. I figure if there is any then it will mean I was meant to get some, if there isn't then fair enough :rotfl::rotfl: Laters :wave:Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0 -
Hugs to Poohbear xx
I'm needing to seriously start flying again. I'm going to do the kitchen when I've sorted out next years diary (needed for work). I'll do the dining room this evening when the furniture is back in place as I finally have the new floor in there! Think i'll go away more ofen.
Hugs to everyone who needs them and hello and welcome to anyone new on here. Catch up later xxJanuary budget

Other than the kichen I've done nowt else in the house, had to phone DD1 to come and sit with DD2 whilst I went to get some money and some medicine for her....she's sitting wrapped up in a duvet with the Argos book and a pen and paper at the moment (1 guess what she's doing
) but she kept some food down but has a raging temperature....
Starting to feel a bit icky myself but maybe it's the lack of sleep, my heads pounding and my stomachs churning so
torianut How did your brother get on yesterday?
lil_me I'd have been glad of the company, it was a great day and the Red Arrows were fab! I always wanted to marry an RAF guy....*drifts off*.....ahem yes well......:D

Hi all. Not been around over the weekend as been really busy, got dome 'big' jobs done, some shopping (2 more christmas pressies put away) and seem to have had a stream of people round.
have been out this morning and then got some of list done, not much so haven't posted my list up. DW and WM been on and tea is sorted. Just watching 'Bringing up Baby' from last week while DS is in bed - did anyone watch it? Its making me want to punch THAT womans lights out - leaving a week old baby in the garden for 3 hours - on its own??!!! What a b*tch. Sorry I'm normally mild mannered but shes a witch.
Poohbear - so sorry about your father, sending you many hugs
Torianut - well done on the list
Anyway, am waiting for DS to get up and then we are nipping of shoppong for my gran and deliver it. Normally go on a Teusday but am going to a health spa for the day!!! Its actually my birthday treat from DH but only just managed to get time to go - 2 hours of massage and a facial plua just chilling out all day - can't wait - anyone want to come? DH is off looking after DS, prehaps I should print him Teusday's list off lol XxLightbulb moment 15th Feb 2007:doh: Now Debt Free and plan on it staying that way!
Baby on board!:D0
