    Today
    Has been a very productive day, most jobs were done in an hour whilst I let my hubs-to-be job search, get his work space on the computer ready for a technical test for a job interview and to chill. Haven't been home for a few days an nothing was done so catching up. I need to get myself into a cleaning routine anyway.

    :heart2: Scrub all bins in house
    :heart2: Put new bedding on
    :heart2: Scrub sinks
    :heart2: Scrub wet utensil holder
    :heart2: Do weekly shopping
    :heart2: Order forks
    :heart2: Refresh carpet & sofa with carpet refresh spray
    :heart2: Clear shoe rack & vacuum under
    :heart2: Scrub Plastic & paper recycling bags
    :heart2: Shake off door mat
    :heart2: 1 load of washing & put on dry cycle

    :heart2: Wash up
    :heart2: 1 more load of washing & put on dry over night
    :heart2: Maybe 1 wedding craft
    :heart2: Vacuum living room in areas that hubs missed I appreciate his help as he is trying - I usually don't get too much help from him & not trying to moan, just another job added to the list x
    :heart2: Scrub kitchen floor & hard to reach with mop areas
    :heart2: Refilled bins with clean bin bags
    :heart2: Put recyclables outside (Mostly done)

    :heart2: Cook food for tea
    Extra's done
    :heart2: Checked bank and everything looks okay for now. Will be carefully spending this week as last week was ... rubbish due to Me and hubs-2-be having an argument which led me to leaving him for a few days to think & give him space. All worked out but needed the cash to get food since i wasn't home , i stayed with parents but didn't like the stuff they had for lunches. Classic me.

    Evening all :)
    CLF, you had 4 more cherries than me - and I ate my solitary cherry while I was watering earlier. My poor cherry tree has been really badly affected by aphids, and doesn't look well at all :(
    Also found a few rasperries while I was watering :) We grow the autumn type and they are only just starting to fruit.
    Not much else done as DD + kids came round, and it was exhausting :eek: So looking forward to not being tired all the time!
    But, I fed everyone from home :)
    Only spent 20p today, on a 'ruby and diamond' bracelet GD found in a CS oddments box :rotfl:
    HG spring onions with tonight's salad :)
    Made a shopping list ready for tomorrow (or possibly Monday)
    Still need to package up an ebay item ready to post on Monday (gonna be busy on Monday by the sounds of it :eek:)
    Brother brought me some money towards what he owes :)
    Also some meat products from the vastly reduced staff shop where he works - they often put leftover stuff out for staff in doing overtime on Saturdays to just take, otherwise it will get thrown away :eek:
    Not a great deal achieved today :cool:

    Dropped DH at a friend's to save him the cost of parking.

    Washing out on the line (nice to see so many other people aren't tumble dryer owners either. I do love my lakeland heated clothes horse in the winter tho!).

    More listing of stuff online and a couple of collections scheduled for the weekend, hoping they turn up OK as it is all a few more £ for the pot.

    Lovely day of pottering about yesterday - and more planned for today. I got lots done yesterday - washing (although weather here is a bit on and off with rain for drying), catch up with bestie, rubbish, recycling, little bit of packing, and watching Benidorm with dd. I've never seen it before but I was laughing most of the way through it.
    Didn't do my little shop, but am going to do it this morning once dd is up. I have a list and a plan so we're ok on that front.
    Managed quite a bit of crochet so feeling all relaxed from that.
    Today's plans other than shopping are:
    more crochet
    tidy up right through the house
    challenge ds to some more tidying and packing, but make it a bit of a game so he will actually do it
  • Morning folks

    Back in work for me today, then off for two days. The funeral is tomorrow. I think everyone just wants it over with. I just want a decent night's sleep. OH was gigging last night. He woke me up when he got in, but then didn't come up to bed for a while, then woke me again when he came to bed, then proceeded to twitch and kick all over the bed. I also seem to have a cold and cough (first one this year I think!).

    Anyway, enough of feeling sorry for myself. Just normal workday bits for me today plus I need to pay the holiday balance and sort that dump bag.

    Have a good one all

    Yesterday I managed to complete the majority my list before we went out and the last thing when we returned.

    The standing order is from our main account to the bills account, I am setting it up so all the regular payments leave the account on the same date, to make it quicker and easier to check. Unfortunately I have no control on when money is paid into the account it depends on what date OH gets paid which is somewhere between the 5th and 8th of the month.

    Todays list:
    Meal plan
    Write shopping list
    Check spending diary is up-to-date, I think I have forgotten to record a small spend earlier in the week
    Dry washing outside if the weather permits
    Home educate children for free
    Continue to tackle my emails
    Pmp etc

    Depending on how OH, chronic condition has been particularly bad the last week or so, I would like to:
    Put things in the loft
    Sort out the hall
    Sort out the dining room
    Make plans to progress a house project
    Fashion on a ration 2025 0/66 coupons spent
    79.5 coupons rolled over 4/75.5 coupons spent - using for secondhand purchases

    Evening all :)
    Just having a hot drink before bed, so thought I would catch up on here. Today's list:
    Nice (and cheap) peaches and peppers from the market this morning
    Had a bit of a clear up in the kitchen

    Got items ready for my sales unit tomorrow
    Packed an ebay item ready for posting tomorrow
    Watered whatever needed it in the garden - front and back - still no sign of rain
    OH did the shopping as he had run out of beer :rotfl:I think he mostly stuck to my list apart from that! I will find out once the receipt appears!
    HM curry from the freezer for dinner, with HM flatbreads also from the freezer.
    Can't think of anything else, I don't think!
