Hi,
Happy to have don a full day of cover today, brought lunch - made wraps w leftover fajita chicken from last night.
Picked up swimming kit parcel from SD - but voucher to reimburse postage never materialised, and cheap fins are crappy and a bit too small, but I think I will bear with it for now and look for a pair of used ones on FB.
Club swim tonight.
Work or sort somethings out tomorrow - and run.
Really want to curl up in bed but ... am planning a homely weekend this weekend.

run laundry
cook dinner

I kind of want to bake something, but I don't think that will actually happen.
Have a great Wednesday tomorrow.

Morning all
Got to sit in my brother's flat until the gas check man turns up or my brother returns from work - boo! No doubt I will get very bored and do some cleaning :rotfl:
Other than that I shall:
Instruct OH to remain in the house till after a buyer has picked up an item sold on FB (she is supposed to be coming before 9.30, so it shouldn't be too much of a hardship as he has only just got up!
Another item is supposed to be leaving this evening
I have 2 ebay sales to pack, ready to post when I get the chance!
Meals will be from food we already have. I still have leftovers from Sunday, so we will probably continue with those.
Check banks and update spreadsheet
A bit of business paperwork that may get carried over till tomorrow - depends whether or not the gas man turns up nice and early!
If I get chance, some cleaning and decluttering
Hope everyone has a good day

Ooh, what a tedious day! Sat in my brother's flat till just after 2.30 when he came in from work, then came back. He phoned later, after speaking to his HA. Apparently the person who was supposed to do the gas checks had gone off sick and nobody had bothered to let the tenants know :mad: So I now have #2 to look forward to. They are now supposed to be coming on the 28th
Did a bit of cleaning at my brother's flat because I was bored :cool:
Came back to see that a friend over from France had popped in, which was nice
Packed up 2 ebay parcels to post tomorrow
One of the FB sales was collected, the other 'forgot', so more waiting around for nothing. Reoffered the item to the next person on the list in the hope that they aren't a time waster.
Lunch was a slice of toast at my brother's
Dinner was a round up of roasted veg with sausages and fennel seeds
Nothing else much accomplished
Better luck tomorrow hopefully, though I do have to wait in for the camper van awning to be collected by a courier...

Dishwasher is running ( I love my dishwasher)
Ds packed up leftovers for lunch tomorrow
Ended up with a NSD day after all, will have to 2x pay for swimming next week.

Another day off today. I like this way of working - rather than a standard 5 days work then 2 days off, my rota means I generally work 3 - 4 days then have a day off.



Anyway - on this particular day off I will be
- continuing with the Spring Cleaning. Today I've got the back door in my sights (not just the door but the window above it, and the bit around the edge that you don't see when the door is closed), then emptying cupboards and sorting/wiping out, and if there's time I'll pull the cooker out and clean behind it.

- check the bank statement and update my spreadsheet
- electrician coming this afternoon to put a new socket in the utility room for me. Soon-to-be-ex has offered to pay half (he still owns half the house and pays half the mortgage) - I hadn't even thought to ask him, and I really appreciate him making the offer
- it's bin day tomorrow so I need to empty all the bins and remember to put the green one out tonight
- make stock for soup. I've just rediscovered a book of soup recipes that I'd forgotten about, so might use that for inspiration and do something different (I normally make 'what needs using up' soup).

- cook mince that's hit it's use by date. Will portion it up and freeze it, as I don't need it for tonight.


DawnW - you seem to have done a lot of hanging around for other people, time to do something for you!!
Have a good day everyone - it looks like the weather will be improving a bit over the next few days, so make the most of it!!

Morning all
I love my dishwasher too Ditty - it was one of the first things I bought when I finally had some spare cash / a decent paying job!
Trailing spouse, yes, my family frequently drive me mad, but on this one occasion it wasn't actually my brother's fault :cool:
DNMS, hopefully Madam will sleep for some of those 12 hours!

OK, so today I am waiting in for a courier to collect our camper van awning for repair, so can't go far from the front door until OH returns in about half an hour, but I have used this time by:
HG pear for breakfast fruit
Up to date with business paperwork :A
And household admin stuff (sorting out a birthday card from stash, cheque for charity donation to that firm that sends cards that I don't like much, but don't have the heart not to buy , used free stamps for both)

Listed an item on ebay
Unfortunately had to throw half a loaf away as it had gone mouldy :mad: Still, my loss is the birds' gain I suppose!
Made a loaf in the BM
Soup is bubbling away on the stove
Load of washing in, it has stopped raining and hopefully will stay dry!
Started a shopping list, but I won't be going today

Still to do:
Put some stuff away in the garage Done
Sort out recycling Done
Peg out washing if it stays dry, if not it will have to go on the airer Grr, put it out, it was almost dry and then it poured down :mad: It is still out there I will deal with it tomorrow.
Depending on when the courier gets here (and the weather), some garden tidying He arrived at lunchtime, then I had to wait in for a FB buyer, but knew roughly what time to expect him, so did a bit anyway. Started to empty a very large pot / urn thing that I am going to sell. It is too big for where it is, and I don't use it, so it can go. Also watered seedlings in greenhouse and pulled out a few weeds.
Some house tidying / cleaning Did a bit, DD came round with very tantrumy GS, so dealt with that for a while.
All food from home Done, most leftovers used up now

Managed to get to the post office to drop off ebay parcels
Also took 2 bags of stuff to the CS
Another item sold on FB, with only minimal messing about from the buyer :cool:

No spends apart from the charitable donation above

Afternoon all,

I'm feeling fed up and miserable at the minute, just feels like one thing after another.
In the last 3 weeks I've had a tummy bug, almost daily bouts of toothache (waiting for an extraction) I burnt my hand on some steam as I took something out of the microwave the other day, had a fall the other day and now I've started with a cold and feel dreadful Sorry for venting, just fed up with myself . (oh and pmt so feeling emotional too!)

Todays list
* went to the gym, saw my gym buddy who told me I looked dreadful and sent me home!
* called into primarni to pick up some yellow tshirts for the kids as the school is wearing yellow for Mental health tomorrow
* watched the rugby with a hot water bottle on my lap and ice pack on my cheek as I had toothache!
* popped out to aldee to buy some red peppers (great source of vitamin c) and some milk, popped into the b&ms next door to see if they had the table cloth I wanted - we looked at the weekend but couldn't find them as they were getting their xmas stock out, managed to find the one I wanted today.
* washed a load on the quick 30 degree wash - will have to hang on radiators later
* needed to act on a fixed term saving account that is maturing - messed up on the account security so it took on a life of its own and took nearly an hour for something that last time took minutes.

Still to do
* make families lunches for tomorrow Done
* rm surveys Done
* run the dishwasher on the quick wash Done
and empty Done
* check banking/update spreadsheet
* try to eat properly for the rest of the day as I'm in that negative cycle which I find hard to break when I start feeling low.

Right I better see what I can get done before the kids get home in 20 mins (ish)

Take care all.
