    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Today has been a lazy day with just the two of us at home (DH will be back to work tomorow) However, I have:
    washed and dried laundry
    made some homemade soup
    straightened the kitchen and the dining room (both cleaned yesterday as we had friends round for the evening
    changed the bed
    sorted all the paperwork from my kitchen shelf
    So, maybe not the list as set, but not too bad a start to the year!
    Resolution:
    Think twice before spending anything!
  • :beer: Happy 2008 my flylady friends :beer:

    Can't remember when i last posted. It has been a busy week or so. We were visiting ILs for 5 days, and got back yesterday evening. While we have been away, dad has been in hospital having an op on his feet, but hopefully he will be home tomorrow. He had the bones amputated from his little toes, and his tendons cut in both legs to help his infection heel and prevent further infection. So, i haven't seen him since boxing day, and if he isn't coming home tomorrow i think i will have to squeeze in a hospital visit.


    We have been so busy - grand plans to do lots in the house in the next couple of months. :eek: ;)


    Today we have:
    • been to B and Q to buy new cheap bathroom tiles to replace around the bath where it is about to collapse without notice on someones head
    • visited mum and sis. Took them our old hair clippers, glass table mats and a book for sis i had finished reading
    • DH put up mums wall light and replaced all the bulbs that needed doing for her - lots as she has loads of silly spotlights.
    • got 2 black sacks of clothes for charlie of sis
    • towels washed yesterday, went through the TD today
    • new car tax disc put in my car
    • tree and decs dismantled
    • xmas cards out to recycle
    • decs taken upstairs ready to go in loft
    • tree outside ready to recylce
    • pine needle trail of destruction swept up
    • debenhams bill paid online
    • ordered a lot of prescription cat food online to take advantage of a 5% off code
    • reported lost rental DVD
    • emailed response to a letter from the DVLA
    • listed loads of stuff on amazon as we had a good look at the shelves and were ruthless for us
    • one shelve of bookshelf stripped of books and teak oiled
    • runners on 4 drawers were teak oiled
    • TV cabinet and lamp table were teak oiled
    • more toys were taken out of packaging and the card/plastic out for recycling
    • washed a load with DH's jeans and bouncy chair cover
    • bouncy chair dismantled as charlie no longer uses it and too big for a new baby
    • sorted out 3 carrier bags of assorted junk for charity shop
    • garage tidied up ready for major house sort/decorate
    • found a bag of house stuff in garage - sorted through that getting rid of most of it, and my favourite lip gloss was in there that i have been missing for about a year.:rolleyes:
    • made a homemade meal using up some of leftovers
    • packed up a box of toiletries/stuff from the bathroom so the tiling can be done by DH tomorrow.
    • caught up here :D
    so one of those busy yet bitty days, and i am sure tomorrow may show more of the same, but one thing is for sure, i am back on the programme ladies, and my home is not going to know what hit it.


    2008 - the year to be great
