afternoon all
have had a busy morning at work, have come back and done some job stuff now need to do some prep before i catch my train at 1720.
before i go i'd like to:
make chilli for dinner tomorrow
cook dinner for tonight
pack bag for overnight - laptop, interview clothes etc.
charge both mobiles
check address of bra shop (going tomorrow if i have time)
had a bit of a downer when a recruiter phoned me and when i said i couldn't start work til march said i was looking too early. its difficult as i don;t want (ideally) to be doing job stuff in jan as i'll have enough to do with the wedding, and then we're tied up with honeymoon etc until march really. OH says all recruiters are something unrepeatable and just to keep trying!!Mum to gorgeous baby boy born Sept 2010:j0 -

Got all the washing dried and put away by 2pm and then I cut the grass back and front, did the edges and swept up. I feel so tired now but there isn't enough time for a nap before work. Hopefully I'll get my second wind by the time I get there!0

This flippin' car! :mad: got it taxed but now it needs a new oil filter cause it's leaked oil all over OH's drive (he's not a happy bunny) so, traipsed to the car shop managed to get one and have just spent the last 30 minutes trying to get the old one off but it wont budge! I'm covered in oil and I'm trying to cook a chicken dinner lol grrrrrrrr OH's gone round to see if his mate's got some sort of tool to get it off with so sneaking 5 mins on here. I spent all afternoon hoovering it out, you've never seen mess like it, it looked like the floor of a crisp factory, intertwine that with dog hairs and slithers of wood embedded in, well you can imagine. Ok I'll shut up about it now lol
Got all MY list done but only level 1 on the flylady list, will do better tomorrow I promise
Good Luck for the interview Rach x0 -
Phew, just washed the insides of all my kitchen cupboards, I did look into the cupboard under the stairs:o. But it looked ok, and the xmas deccys are right at the back so I'd have to empty it out before Christmas anyway.
I really felt like not bothering with the cupboards today, but I did my ironing and thought to myself 'just do it'. I feel alot better now, it is done and now I can relax.

DS1 was up sicking in the toilet again at 6am this morning, he was really unwell, but seems fine now! Think I will have to wake him up during the night to give him paracetamol. Which means I have to set the alarm!
Hubby is off thurs and fri so not sure what I will get done, but with the exception of master bedroom, the rest just needs S&Sed. Need to get some washing done and any luck hubby will help do our bedroom. Spied a lot of stuff for ebay....
Will catch up on posts in a bit0 -
Is it really only Wednesday? Today was my day off and i've not done much. Felt tired and dodgy for a few days and been put on antibiotics for chest infection. I feel better now I know it's not in my mind, lol. So, this is another week where i'm doing the bare minimum. Vaccumed all down stairs, sorted hotspot in kitchen (breakfast bar that you couldn't see for paper work), designed new consultation form for work, ordered new flooring and curled up on sofa for an hour.
Nipped into supermarket for a few bits today and was asked to do a survey on crisps. Didn't have energy to say no so did it and was then given a nice crisp fiver for my troubles. Very nice!
Going to bed early so hope everyone is well. Speak soon xxJanuary budget

Thanks to everyone for all the hugs. I really do appreciate the care from everyone here. I am still very fragile but I am dealing with things I think. People are still sending cards and letters and that starts me off again. I still forgot to read the first post on here and so did my bedroom this morning! I have also been to hydrotherapy and DD is making dinner again tonight. I might give DSs room a go tomorrow. A 100 fling boogie might be in order. I have bought a grabber so I can pick things up off the floor more easily.
I have also started doing EFT. Has anyone else hears of it or tried it?business mortgage £0))''(+ Barclay's business kitchen loan £0=Total paid off was £96105 PPI claimed and received £13527

The ex is slowly moving his stuff out of here, his mate came round earlier with a van from work and they moved the bed and the spare sofa. The bedroom is now looking very empty. My new bed frame is at my sisters in London so for now I'm going to have to sleep on the mattress on the floor. Thankfully when I moved in with him I put my double mattress into storage in the loft just incase it was needed as it's only been used for about 6 months and was a decent one. I'm going to feel like a student again.
Regardless of whether tomorrow is bedroom day or not I'm going to clean the carpet in there with carpet shampoo, as you can really tell the difference between the carpet that was under the bed and the rest of the room.
Time for another 15 minutes of paperwork sort out, I will get to the bottom of it honestlyDebts: Mum £3923 0% APR0
