Brilliant HI. Slowly but surely.

Well done Hidden, love seeing you updates. :T

Does that mean you paid some money off his fine?

Hiddenidenity

He posted the money in this morning, so I'm not down by paying it but I'll worry less knowing its paid.

Boiler finally fixed and I'm just waiting on the kids finishing lunch so we can head to the shops with our list. They have their own little lists to get with the money of my mum :rotfl: Girls put half in their money boxes and want to spend the other half. DS wants another months EA access and he'll save the rest too if he can resist the sweet aisle :rotfl:

Well done on the payments HI, you'll hit your target at this rate

So glad your boiler is fixed now, that's one less thing to worry about.

Enjoy the shopping trip x

I write a list for everything. I mean even down to wake up
I think my routine is so much of the same 90% of the time it just fits in because as soon as I let slip for a day I feel it getting on top of me. I wake up, strip my bed, open the window and blinds etc. Jump in the shower and clean the bathroom, then onto the toilet (ours are in separate rooms) Then into kitchen, kettle on, washer on with my bedding/clothes etc while I'm making a coffee. Kitchens usually clean because I'm the last in there before bed but I potter about wiping down etc and having my coffee before I get the kids up. When its time to wake them, I go up they go into the bathroom to have a wash etc and I strip their beds and straighten anything up needed. Quick flick over the bathroom after the kids (yes there's even been toothpaste on the ceiling before now ) and then I just potter behind them all day :rotfl::rotfl: Pretty much the same routine at night but the opposite way round. I hate going to bed leaving things not done. I like my 'list' to be ticked off.

The extras get done round the kids, if they play out I garden/sweep etc. If they're painting in the kitchen I'll wipe the cupboards down etc why I'm keeping an eye on them.

But yeah after all that ramble. Lists. Definitely lists :rotfl:

Received the £10 paypal from My Survey and cashed out another £5, also cashed out £5 to paypal from Opinion outpost.

Sorted out some of his clothes and listed some bits on ebay of my own. Hoping to have my 20 item limit listed this weekend but then means I can't list again until September but still 20 listed is better than none

Still can't believe you change your sheets every day. I can't even manage to get dressed every day
