determined_new_ms

Morning US got to agree when it comes to baking it is definitely taste that matters rather than aesthetics unless it's a gift! Next time wack some custard on it

* Have logged on to banking and straightened out accounts
* today is my last day of car use for the month :money: make note of mileage and update expenses
* Work efficiently
* figure out what we're going to eat tonight....

* put timer on wm so it's done by the time I get home
* pack up madam's ballet stuff for tomorrow

Ok that's enough. Have a great day :A

Morning folks

Walked to work and saw a fab double rainbow.

A good sleep last night and feeling more level headed. Got the water bill later night and no change to payments. I think we can probably cut it a bit with some small tweaks. We aren't very mse with water and there's def some room for improvement.

OH has headed off to Cheadle. He got there ok, hopefully will get back ok too. He's gone to take advantage of a little-known scheme for musicians where you can get in-ear hearing defenders that are moulded specially to your ear for about £40. It's subsidised by the government or something. It would cost £200 otherwise. - he is home safe and sound

Car back to the garage to fix the wonky steering wheel. The noise seems to have stopped but I have told OH that he must tell them. - car is in

Yesterday's round up

Morning all!

Today is going to be all about photographing stuff, my mum has sorted through her shoes and send me back with about 50 pairs to put on eBay (some unworn!) She is going to sort through the other half of the collection next week!Light is too bad to do this today

I need to do a bit of tidying and clean fish and cat litter before I do anything else.Done

Another package has arrived safely at Amazon so just want to tweak keywords on one of them, the other two were quite niche and selling anyway, I'm testing whether they will sell more!Done

I fell asleep yesterday afternoon so didn't get around to making the Sherherds pie so I'll do it today instead!

Have a good day all

FatVonD

It's a really bleugh day here too, 1LuckyLady, my photographing is going to have to wait for a brighter day.

I'm going to make myself a cup of tea, put the radio on and set about sorting the clothes mountain instead.

Then I will vacuum everywhere using my new vacuum cleaner

Afternoon all,

Struggling with low mood again, its chucking it down here too so the house is quite dark and that's not helping. I've eaten a load of crap food (4 buttered bagels, 5 mini bags of skittles) and that was after my breakfast! :eek: Feeling bleugghhh now (unsurprisingly! ) Right got to move on and get a grip! Going to make my list with lots of :heart2: today to try and help

Todays list
:heart2: ys bagel and an American pancake for ds1s breakfast :heart2:
:heart2: Gym session done and I was able to reclaim my lost water bottle from yesterday too :heart2:
:heart2: Brunch with my dad using up bits and pieces from the fridge for an omelette :heart2:
:heart2: Dishwasher run on the quick 30 degree wash :heart2:
:heart2: Check banking/update spreadsheets :heart2:
:heart2: Iron dh's work shirts :heart2: - hoping that the rest of the washing can be hung straight away :heart2:
:heart2: Possilbly wrap the kids xmas eve hampers - pajamas/books/chocolates so that I don't raid those whilst in this mood???
:heart2: Rm surveys - 1 done this morning :heart2:, 1 to do this afternoon & prep others
:heart2: Look back as La E recommended a meditation thing on youtube a while ago.

Hopefully I'll add more, but that's all I can think of for a start.


Have a good day all.

do you have any tea lights? perhaps they would cheer the house up a little? We all have those moments when we eat a load of carp (see my post from yesterday!). Try not to beat yourself up over it - the next thing you have can be healthier, and just make one good decision at a time

hi Everyone, the new lurker here ready for completing the small things to work towards the big!

So worked Monday and Tuesday, over and done with for the week. Only work 2 days and OH works full time. I would love to increase my income somehow. May look for another little job perhaps. But OH can be slightly miserable when it comes to me working, hence the debt! I also would love to do some crafting. most definitely looking for a new job - stupidly looked on, checked emails and am fed up of this anxious nervous feeling when it looks like it's going to be 16 hours of pure drama! Need to update cv!

My aim is to achieve! But I know that it's gonna take a long time but there's so much that just isn't working right now.

My list for the next couple of days is:

- submit mileage claim into work
- post parcels of Eb sales and birthday cards to sister
- list on Ebay
- use the gym membership (one of my guilty pleasures which I should get rid of but we have it for whole family.
- I'm a ww member and stupidly pay because well I'm a sucker but I have put weight on so must stick to it this week and try to loose weight! I have thought long and hard and need to log on to the desktop and cancel my membership, I have the books, I know what I need to do, time to dust the scales off - expires 29th)
- do a meal plan and shopping list
- ironing - boring old ironing wow oh wow I have caught up and carried on with washing and ironing! Feeling like I have achieved loads!
- wash and shuffle washing around radiators that are only on to take chill off wearing jumpers rest of time achieved loads! Nobly a normal load and small load left!!
- do not buy any fizzy drinks!! I do not need the caffeine!
- walk round the block twice a day

Can any one let me know about the spreadsheets you do? What do you keep them for? Thank you
