Happy Saturday everyone

Yesterday was a no spend day, but today I've spent £6.85 on bus fares, coffee and some Halloween choccies for DH and DS1 (DH2 & 3 are always on a diet). I then spent £11.32 in Mr T on fruit, Saturday chocs for DH & DH1 and Saturday cider for me :beer: So just under my Saturday budget.

I've done 11,205 steps already walking around town, so hopefully that may help to shift a pound or two :A

I've cleaned out the furry moron and now I'm going to relax because my feet hurt :eek:

It's DH's turn to cook tonight and I'm looking forward to my cider already

I forgot to say that I also dropped off another rucksack of books at the charity shop (I'm their favourite person at the moment).

We still have several thousand books at home so I've still got plenty of reading material

I'd love to get the house a lot emptier by Christmas. I have visions of a Scandinavian-style mimimal oasis with white walls, wood floors and pale wood furniture. Sigh.

We've achieved white walls, but still have dark carpets, a mish mash of furniture and lots of clutter

Things I would like to de-clutter include:

1. Dozens more books
2. An air conditioner unit that doesn't work properly
3. A fan that won't stand up properly
4. A mountain of paperwork
5. All our unworn clothes

Eventually I'd like to acquire:

1. A bookcase in the kitchen
2. A burn barrel for the paperwork
3. A shed for the garden

Now that we are soon-to-be debt free who knows what we can accomplish

I know this was a genuine mistake and I’m sorry for poking fun, but it did make me giggle. I was like, gawd I can barely cope with one DH, can you imagine having to put up with 3 of them :eek::rotfl::rotfl: Xx

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: OMG yes definitely a typo!

One DH is hard enough work :eek:::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

I haven't even started on the cider yet so I'm not drunk typing :rotfl:
