I was going to suggest do windows in one room at a time as it contains the mess and means less work at the time. I would try and get the one done in DD’s room as soon as you can though, as damp doesn’t sound too healthy to be sleeping near. It will also be making the room colder. 

Can’t help noticing that the money for the younger offspring came from DS1 not ex … <none of my business, shouldn’t comment, but can’t help it, mutter, mutter ….> 

Love the idea of making up boxes of ‘meal mixes’ - be interesting to see if that helps you get motivated / waste less 😊

Countdown is on! 😊

Yes I know....I paid the deposit for the ski trip. Ds1 has paid for his spot1fy. ExH just complains to the kids I rob him of everything.
He is on more money with less outgoings than DP & my wages combined....I mutter a lot about this too 😂🙈 I am not surprised though. Nothing changes.

Just reaffirming, vigorously and with absolute certainty, why he is ‘Ex’! 

Does he qualify for the official title, PPH (Pooh-Pooh-head as per Watty’s thread)? 😉

He absolutely qualifies 🥳😂

Afternoon all, NSD today. These are pretty easy to achieve during the week but I need to start reigning it in heading towards xmas on the weekends. Can't believe how much I spent looking at my ynab. However I did technically finish my christmas shopping (I say technically because no doubt I forgot someone.)

Hopefully we will be on the wind down to xmas hols pretty soon at work, as a lot of tests happened last week and students are bored, tired and not interested. Not sure what I am doing tomorrow still as my days have been different every Tuesday so far. I as always have my fingers crossed for an easy group

Got out one of the bowls of pre-prepped dinner for later. It is so much easier to grab and have it all pre-chopped. But I am wondering if I want to spend every Sunday morning prepping a whole week's dinners going forward. But we'll see. it is helpful as everyone is getting grumpy because of the need of a holiday and dark days so I will carry on for the week ahead at least. I am also making lunches in the evening (mine always leftover if there is any otherwise it is rolls) as that helps DP who is usually up before me and prepping them all. Means I can leave the house clean and tidy aside from breakfast washing up too.

I have an empty glass bottle sterilising in the oven and I am going to make my own mouthwash with it. I will report back on how effective it is/ how nice it tastes

How about preping monday and tuesdays dinners (term time) and then wednesday you could do thursdays and fridays.

We tend to have pasta wednesdays ~ so its always easy, any kind of pasta any kind of sauce and a garlic bread/ flatbread thing. I love wedsdays, becasue everyone knows its pasta and its easy. Fridays are becoming known as pizza night. But I just have a really big salad!!

We usually have the same meal on a Saturday so know what we're having. Usually pizza but sometimes burger or some other meal the kids like. The rest of the week is usually healthier and DD loves to moan 😂
Good idea to do half on a weds I might try and do that!

Some good news after my moaning post the other day, I've lost three lbs. 👏🏼 (Going GF I'm assuming?)

And my new hair style feels so much lighter ...I also spent money on new makeup at the weekend when out with DD and that cheered me up too 🙏🏻😁 

Not having any luck with surveys this evening keep getting screened out. I caught up with paperwork from work though so that was good. So signing off now for a hot shower to warm me up and a movie before bed!

The prep Sun prep Wed sounds a great idea

YNAB last Dec really halted my spending waiting to be paid before I start but still the YNAB shows me the dribs and drabs I have done are all adding up -

The mouthwash worked well!
One sterilised bottle, a tsp of baking soda, 300ml or thereabouts of filtered, boiled then cooled water and 8 drops of peppermint oil and 2 of clove oil. Tastes good and leaves mouth fresh and minty and didn't cost anything. The last fluoride free mouthwash I bought cost me nearly a tenner (the one I liked) so glad I made some sort of savings this week as I feel like money leaks out of my bank this time of year 😂🙈

He so does!    Is there a collective noun for PPH's. We need to check with WelshmansDaughter's nephew I think for the definitive answer on that.
